1. Scenescof         Chris Thompson (NZ,1973)****°

Not to miss item in vein of Nick Drake, Donovan, Al Stewart. Very intimate poetic finger picking guitar, with some Indian instrumentation adds by Magic Carpet members. Interpretation of Yeats "Song of the wandering Aengus" is wonderful. A highly recommended gem.

2. Wild Rose Music        Chris Thompson : Time Flies (NZ,2000)*°°

Having been very enthusiastic about his 70's solo album I was disappointed hearing this album with more simplicity directing towards homefeel blues and tramp country. Also the production did put everything so much to the foreground it destroyed the left over magic. The quiet and very nice song "The arrow and the song" on a text of H.W. Longfellow could have been much better with another production, but it still remains a beautiful song....
