This remarkable album, originally released in 1979 features an all-star lineup of artists brought together by talent of Mother Gong's Gilli Smyth. Renowned for her work with Gong, Smyth's unique vocal stylings--the ethereal "space whisper"--lead the way on this otherworldly journey. Joined by her esteemed collaborators, including Nik Turner from Hawkwind and other masterful musicians such as flutist Didier Malherbe, Gilli Smyth breathes new life into three classic fairy tales: "Wassilissa", "The Three Tongues" and "The Pied Piper." Through their innovative arrangements and Gilli Smyth's haunting vocals, these stories transform, revealing their hidden, darker dimensions. The result is an album that defies convention--a spellbinding experience unlike anything you've ever heard.
