Roy Harper : The Green Man (UK,2000)****
I heard this must be one of the best releases of Roy Harper since many years, and it really sounds so it indeed. (I did not hear all of his releases). Roy Harper I like to remember mostly for its tremendous masterpiece "Stormcock" with 2 very long tracks, masterly arranged / composed, an acid folk monster, and for one of the most beautiful songs ever, "Another Day" (on "Flat Baroque and Beserk"). Beside that, he had various other classic moments. Here the music is again very enjoyable, and it's guitar/voice dominated music at his most perfect. For English is not my proper language I always listen to the mood of the music at first, and this works as a perfect listen. When I listen more closely / read to the texts it's also clear Roy Harper still is amongst the greatest songwriters too. There's not much more to add for me for now. Very recommended.
