WHO KNOWS WHERE THE TIME GOES ? WE DO. BECAUSE IT’S TAKEN US TWENTY YEARS TO GET HERE. THE FLK ARE IN DISGUISE. LIKE MUMMERS. THE FLK IS ALL ABOUT THE DEFINITION. THE DEFINITION OF FLK THE DEFINITION OF FOLK SACRED OR MAD ? WE HAVE TRAVELLED THE LAND THROUGH THE HEART OF ENGLAND. THE HEART OF ENGLISH FOLK. FRIENDS. AQUAINTANCES. STRANGERS. DREAMERS. HOODIES. GYPSIES, TRAMPS AND HAWKERS. WE SAID “PLAY SOME ENGLISH FOLK” AND THEY PLAYED. MP3, CD, VINYL, WAX CYLINDER. WE LISTENED. WE COPIED. WE SAMPLED. WE TAPED. WE MADE NOTES. WE MADE NOTATION. WE STOLE THE SONGS. WE TOOK THEM HOME AND MIXED THEM TOGETHER WITH THE SOUNDS OF THE JOURNEY. WITH LOVE AND CARE AND ONE EYE ON THE CLOCK WE ADDED SOME SOUNDS OF OUR OWN. THIS IS THE RESULT. IT’S ONE TRACK. IT’S 36 MINUTES LONG. IT’S A SOUNDSCAPE. A DOCUMENT. A TRAVELOGUE. A SURVEY. A MOMENT IN TIME. LATE AT NIGHT ON A SUMMERS DAY. IT’S A FOLK ALBUM. IT MUST BE. IT’S MADE UP ENTIRELY OF FOLK SONGS. BUT IT’S NOWHERE NEAR A FOLK ALBUM. A MODERN COLLECTION OF TRADITIONS. THIS IS WHAT’S OUT THERE. YES – THAT IS TERRY WOGAN AND – NO – WE’RE NOT JOKING YOU MAY HAVE CAUSE TO COMPLAIN. YOU MAY HAVE BEEN TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT. YOU MAY HAVE BEEN OMITTED COMPLETELY. BUT IT’S “CREATIVELY JUSTIFIABLE”. THAT’S OUR EXCUSE AND WE’RE STICKING TO IT. THEY MADE US DO IT. THOSE OTHER TWO. THE TWO WHO CAME BEFORE. AND NOW THEY’VE GONE AND LEFT US ALL ALONE. HAVE FAITH. THE NORTH WILL RISE AGAIN. YOU HAVE REACHED YOUR DESTINATION. REJOICE NOW. User-contribu
