CAROL OF HARVEST



You may have stumbled upon this album if you search prog or 70's rock oriented blogs. Carol of Harvest were a german band with a female singer, often categorized as krautrock (another missleading misconception that probabbly kept people off this gem). The truth is they played progressive folk rock, and they created magic with their music. As a band they only released a same titled album in 1978, in 2003 there was another release under this name, but there was only one original member involved and stylistically it had nothing to do with the original form of the band. The lp goes for crazy amounts of money (even 1.000$) but there's also a cd reissue you could somehow grab at a reasonable price. Honestly, I avoid listening to this album too many times, so that I preserve the magic for very special moments.
