Free Music Review: Acoustic Folk with a difference
Hit: 4 Stars

Worthy second album from British folktronic proponents Tunng. For those not familiar with the genre this is essentially typical late '60's early 70's acoustic folk with electronic sounds and vocal samples swirling and doodling in the background and in between tracks. The songs are pretty soft, warm and easy on the ear and the electronics and samples are interesting without ever becoming overpowering or irritating. It is really only on the final track "Engine Room" where there comes a point that the synth takes over halfway and threatens to transform the song into a prog rock epic. However, the flute and acoustic guitars return for the last few minutes and harmony is restored. The songs are all above average but you can't help wondering if they would be all that interesting without the electronics. I found that the vocal samples stuck in my brain at least as much, if not more, than the actual songs. There are no bad songs on here, but neither is there anything that really stands out. I read one reviewer that compared them to Simon and Garfunkel, and there was certainly one song that made me think of the New York duo, but if you are looking for a more apt comparison the old British band Dulcimer comes to mind. Their '71 classic "And I turned As I Turned as a Boy", originally released on the highly collectible Nepentha label, has a few random sounds and poetry readings from Richard Todd linking the tracks. Just for the record, Dulcimer reformed in the early 90's and their more recent CD's are also well worth investigating. But back to Tunng: if you like thoughtful acoustic fare and are happy to have some electronics and sampling mixed in for added effect you should certainly enjoy "Comments of the Inner Chorus". I'm certainly glad I bought it.

Comments of the Inner Chorus Poster

Highly anticipated second album from this experimental folk electronica ('folktronica'?) outfit. Features the critically praised single 'Woodcat', which combines Simon & Garfunkel-esque harmonies with stuttering electronics and an obsession with British cult film 'The Wicker Man'. And there's a lot more where that came from!. Full Time Hobby. 2006.
