The Spirit of Autumn Past

Mostly Autumn

A sweeping blend of 70s-inspired progressive rock and traditional Celtic folk. Earthy flutes meet soaring electric guitars in a tribute to the English landscape.

It's like Pink Floyd went on a hiking trip through the Lake District and brought a flute player along.

A deeply nostalgic and pastoral journey that balances triumphant rock peaks with quiet, misty-eyed folk intimacy.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition from the pastoral flute intro to the massive Gilmour-esque guitar solo in Winter Mountain
The sudden shift into a high-energy Celtic jig during the instrumental break of Shindig
The emotional peak of the closing eleven minutes where the orchestration swells to a heart-wrenching finale
