Whirling Pope Joan, Spin

 

(1994) PanicATC  PATCCD20294

 

Behind Whirling Pope Joan, the name of a very popular game in England, hide Nigel Eaton and Julie Murphy. Both of them put together a great repertoire that has moments of great, evocative spirit. Julie's voice is especially beautiful in "Sweet Jasmine” and Nigel’s arrangements are sophisticated, for example Hanter Dro in the final framework. But also striking is the version of our local "Donna Lombarda”. The packaging includes the original photos by Nigel Eaton and a graphic design by Naomi Hines

 

Dietro i Whirling Pope Joan, nome di un gioco molto popolare in Inghilterra, si nascondono Nigel Eaton e Julie Murphy. I due mettono insieme un bel repertorio che ha momenti di grande respiro, evocativi. La voce di Julie è splendida soprattutto in "Jasmine Sweet" e raffinati sono gli arrangiamenti di Nigel, ad es. nel conclusivo hanter dro. Ma suggestiva è anche la versione della nostrana "Donna Lombarda". La confezione è originale a cominciare dalle fotografie dello stesso Nigel Eaton, fino a progetto grafico di Naomi Hines.
