Vashti Bunyan

Just Another Diamond Day

€16.00

Recently voted one of the Top 100 British Albums of all time by the OMM, this CD re-release of Vashti Bunyan's 'Just Another Diamond Day' features the likes of Robert Kirby (of Nick Drake fame), Robin Williamson (Incredible String Band) and the Fairport Convention's Simon Nicol and Dave Swarbrick, it is also regularly cited as inspiration by Devendra Banhart, Joanna Newsom and Scout Nibblet... Possibly sounding a bit naïve in retrospect, much of 'Just Another Diamond Day' seems to exist somewhere between the Wickerman and Bagpuss, with lyrics like "the rainbow river is a laughing stream, down in a valley by a mountain that is pine tree tall..." coming across as decidedly twee and borderline cloying. However if you check your cynical 21st Century perspective in at the gate and enjoy it for what it is, 'Just Another Diamond Day' is a genuine blast from the past, full of proper Brit-folk that doesn't have a floating 'tronica' anywhere in sight.
