about

Harvest Time is a limited edition independently produced album released on vinyl in 1976, and re-released on CD by Kissing Spell in 2002.*
The title track epitomizes the band's folk classical fusion in an epic pastoral piece featuring a wind quintet and entwining two folk songs. The first evokes a powerful image of a simpler past, rooted in the earth and country, and celebrating the blessing of fertility. The second weaves a darker tapestry of a future where all sense of dependence on a creator has been lost, all earthly wisdom forsaken, and becomes a cry for a return to a simpler world where what is truly needful is understood.

*The vinyl and CD editions of this album are no longer available.

about

Water Into Wine Band UK

Formed in 1972 from contrasting musical heritages and common Christian roots, they produced a unique classical folk rock fusion seeking a creativity which reflected a creator in stories and wordless soundscapes. They produced 3 LPs in 1974-76, and now after a mere 40 year gap, a collection of entirely new material, the final work of the original cast of 1972, and a tribute to their lost member. ... more
