They say nothing’s original anymore. Doesn’t make things
bad, but it’s hard to find the root to modern art. Listen to Pentangle’s Basket of Light and you hear the influence of a lot of modern bands like Fleet Foxes
and The Decemberists.
Pentangle straddles a series of genre lines from British
folk and early music, classical baroque and jazz. It’s none of those things
but, instead, all of them. Although the beginning of Light Flight sounds like
The Beatles’ “I Feel Fine.”
The began to disintegrate in the early 1970s once their
record company basically quit paying them royalties citing that the company paid
for the cost of recording. Which is sorta how things work out. Otherwise, what would be the point of a record company? Then the band
had a clause in their contract disallowing them from suing the record company.
Remember youngsters: Always have a lawyer.
