The Fates-Furia,LP,1985,UK
This absolut gem was posted a while back in Bimble's Windy Weather blog,but now it seems link is dead.After asking him he gave me the permission to repost it here.This is a record ,almost unknown to many people, is the result of Una Baines (of Blue Orchids/Fall fame) collaboration with 2 other women. Musically it is dark ,sometimes ritualistic , folk with much electronic sounds though and much improvisational parts. In my opinion this is a masterpiece. Most songs remind me a more acoustic sounding Blue Orchids ( reminding much their songs Sun Connection and Bad Education to me). Rumours want it this album to blend the growing ,these days, early wicca philosophy. Anyway, the result is like runing through Britain's green mountains with druids and elves accompanying oneself. I love this record!

This classic album also features Martin Bramah on guitar and percusion - I believe Martin and Una parted company two thirds of the way though the recording - hence he is not credited.
Except Martin Bramah is credited, on the back sleeve. I've got three copies! Also, it's a collaboration of about 7 women, not three . . . several of whom had connections to the Blue Orchids, and one of whom who still works with Martin Bramah (that'd be Charlotte Bill.) And yeah, it's a lot about pre-Christian practices of the British Isles (call it Wicca if you will), but Una and gang would refer to that belief as fairly ancient in practice.
