Customer Reviews:

A solid piece of work.......2005-12-20

Skyclad's debut album--The Wayward Sons of Mother Earth--was released in 1991. The material is in a metal musical direction. Ten tracks are contained. Overall, I find the musicianship to be proficient, the songwriting to be solid, and the sound quality to be pleasing. I am impressed with the precision guitar work and Martin Walkyier's industrious, expressive vocal performance; in addition, Walkyier is a talented lyricist--his song lyrics are elaborate and fit well with the music. Two instrumentals are included, "A Minute's Piece" and "Intro: Pagan Man." Violin instrumentation is displayed on "The Sky Beneath My Feet," "The Widdershins Jig," and "Our Dying Island." Keyboard playing is furnished on some of the cuts, too. As for my favorite compositions, they are "The Widdershins Jig," "Skyclad," and "Moongleam and Meadowsweet." Violin and piccolo playing are incorporated on the imaginative "The Widdershins Jig"--a song that also provides a nice guitar riff. The energy-packed "Skyclad" has a memorable fade-in intro, a gratifying guitar riff, and an appealing, ferocious chorus. The somber, laid-back "Moongleam and Meadowsweet" exhibits attractive guitar playing and engaging, melancholic vocals from Walkyier. The CD booklet includes the song lyrics and a cool color photo of the band; a smaller version of this photo is displayed on the back of the CD jewel case. The disc is almost 47 minutes. This is a recommendable album.
