Reality Folk - Let Our Love Be A Light (1975). Wow! I adore their debut but this thing leaves it in the dust! With Let Our Love Be A Light the band broadened their sound and expanded their artistic vision, aiming for a more progressive and electric sound that brings to mind the best moments of Parchment (in fact they include a cover of ‘Love Is Come Again’). Although gentler in the vocals, songs like ‘Speak To The Sky’ (yes, the Rick Springfield tune!) sure have that raw romping feistiness that became Parchment’s trademark. There’s some good straightforward British folkrock on here but a few tunes are quite exceptional. ‘Crown Of Thorns’ for instance – a beautiful brooding piece of minor-key orchestral folk full of passion. ‘Resurrection Song’ is similarly mysterious with eerie organ accompaniment (did somebody say “folk/psych”?). ‘A Virgin Most Pure’ reminds me of traditional Irish folk music (which it may be for all I know). Lovely string quartet on ‘When I Survey’ to the tune of yet another song. The group renamed themselves Sapphire for their third Profile album. (The Archivist, 4th Edition by Ken Scott)...page 213
