  | COMUS ~ SONG TO COMUS - THE COMPLETE COLLECTION
CASTLE 1121 (Barcode: 5050749411211) ~ UK ~ Progressive Rock
Recorded: 1970 - 1974 Released: 2005
This extraordinary album is one of the most anticipated reissues in the history of Prog. It includes all the material recorded by ComusFind albums by this artist, which includes their two albums: First UtteranceFind albums with this title (recorded 1970) and To Keep From CryingFind albums with this title (recorded 1974), two singles by the group and another single by Roger WoottonFind albums by this artist – the band’s main writer and singer. There is also one previously unreleased song recorded for the debut album. It is the debut album, which brought the band the cult status as one of the strangest and most interesting bands in the Prog history. It remains to this day a timeless masterpiece and deserves a place in the pantheon of Prog. The material, the weird vocals and superb playing is years ahead of anything that was recorded at that time. A mixture of horror, folk, Avant-Garde, theatrics and pure genus, definitely a unique musical creation, which is now available again after 35 years of dormancy. The second album is of course not nearly as good as the debut, recorded under pressures from the record label to produce “commercial” material. Nevertheless having the entire output by Comus in one beautiful release is bliss incarnate. An absolute must!
