May 22: 'Ouses 'Ouses 'Ouses

I love the mood of this piece from the first album by 'The Imagined Village'.

It's the opening track from their album 'The Imagined Village', and starts up above the Chalk Downs of the South Downs.


The band is a fusion mix of traditional musicians, with world music and electronic beats...

It's worth searching YouTube for other clips of their music, which include interpretations of other classic songs. They will appear elsewhere on the blog.

They deserve a place here if only for this CD cover...

It's an EP I have a copy of:
The first track is excellent for considering the multicultural nature of'English' people - one for Reform perhaps.



Released on Real World Records on 23 July 2007.
