COMUS managed only Two albums and then disappeared. " First Utterance" was their debut, originally released in OnThe Dawn label. They are often thought of as A folk rockband , but there are major differences between COMUS and well-known acts as FAIRPORT CONVENTION or STEELEYE SPAN. Neither of those groups would create MUSIC so sinister, both in atmosphere and in lyrics. Neither would they have A vocalist who at times brings ToMind Roger ChapmanofFamily , or he decidesTo sing atA higher pitch, bringsTo Mind Jerry Samuels (Napoleon XIV). And COMUS never touched On centuries old British Isles folk MUSIC or Celtic folk jigs and reels. The MUSIC of COMUS features way too many creative, twisted, and sometimes experimental passages To be called folk-rock, it's definitely progressive enough To please prog rock fans. The band consisted of Roger Wootten On vocals and acoustic guitar, Glen GoringOn guitar, Andy HellabyOn bass, Colin PearsonOn violin, Rob YoungOn flute, and Bobbie Watson providing female vocals. Most everyone provides percussion (particularly bongos). Not sure how To get about describing The songs. " The Herald" is by far The most mellow pieceOnThe album, dominated byThe vocalsof Bobbie Watson. The song features extended use of electric guitar. "Drip Drip" is definitely One ofThe album's high points with extended and creative passages. "Song To Comus" is A bit shortened, but stuffed with lotsof great violin and flute. This particular song reminds me of Family , especially because Roger WoottonSounds so much like Roger ChapmanOn this cut. The Same goes FOR " The Bite" which is very much inA similar vein. "Bitten" is The only instrumental piece, basically an experimental cut that reminds me of what many Krautrock bands were doing atTheSameTime . " The Prisoner" closes The album, another incredible piece. The British rock critics of TheTime hatedThe album. A postal strike in The UK at TheTimeThe album was released made itA bit difficultTo hitThe record stores. Even with David BOWIE giving this band support, didn't Help . But STILL an amazing and twisted album. Not FOR everyone, but recommended FORThe more adventurous.
