DAN AR BRAS “TERRE NOUVELLE” (CANADIAN GAMMA)1977 LOVELY GATEFOLD IS VG+ OR BETTER…INTACT DISC IS NICE M-

A concept instrumental album built around the legend of Ys, a mythical city which was engulfed in the bay of Douarnenez in Brittany. This legend inspired many other works, musical or literary. Musicians include Benoît Widemann] from Magma, Dave Pegg from Fairport Convention and Emmanuelle Parrenin. As you can guess from this eclectic cast, the music is eclectic too, borrowing from rock and folk ; despite its dramatic theme, it is mostly a quiet, laid-back album, with Breton folk music reminiscences in the melodies.
