Alex Fergusson - 2001 - The Essence

Genre: Folk, Pop, Psych
Label: Trisol

Sounds like a man with an acoustic guitar

Oh, I like this record. Maybe it's because Alex Fergussons musical past. He was founder of Alternative TV, an early british Punk Band, worked with Throbbing Gristle and formed Psychic TV with Genesis P-Orridge. I think he was the main musical head of PTV (Listen to Pagan Day from 84 - it's great). In early nineties he started with solo recordings. And here is his second record (I think) - It's a mixture of fine pop songs, british (?) folk influenced music and a bit Beatles, some strange classical parts and more.

I wouldn't compare his records to that so called Apocalyptic Folk of his buddys (like Current 93 and Co). It has more life and charme and less apocalyptic visions, in fact it has nothing to do with that. It's just good music for adults and for autumn time with a cup of tea, hahaha.

Oh I write shit - sorry. Test it for yourself. More will come.
