about

27 titles, 18 tracks and 76 minutes long, This English group features Brian Gulland, whose bassoon, oboe and cor anglais were a big part of the baroque 'n roll band Gryphon and the French folk rock band Malicorne. On Out on the Ocean, the New Scorpion Band's fifth CD, he also plays whistle, hammer dulcimer, organ, jug, and percussion, and is joined by four other multi-instrumentalists and vocalists who among them play about two dozen instruments, including violin, viola, concertina, melodeon, English guitar, banjo, guitar, mandolin, bagpipes, flute, recorder, and even a tuba. This richness of brass, strings and woodwind necessarily gives their music a dense, big band sound thats unusual in the folk scene, but common to village bands in various parts of England. Their opening song, a breezy take on the Collier Brig, oom-pahs along pleasantly from verse to verse, pausing for instrumental breaks consisting of popular polkas. They do gussy up some chanteys with unusual arrangements; the Capstan Bar is arranged almost as a lullaby, with gently plucked guitar and beautiful countermelodies on Northumbrian smallpipes and cor anglais. They are also capable of doing a very comfortable job with an unaccompanied chantey, as they demonstrate with convincing performances of Roll and Go, Sally Brown, The Wild Goose Chantey and others. Finally they treat a number of entertaining Naval ballads, including High Barbaree, Nelsons Death, and a pretty version of On Board a 98. In all, with 76 minutes of music, a booklet of interesting notes, and some fine artwork and photos, it's a splendid disc.” - Dirty Linen, USA
