Harry Williamson and Anthony Phillips' beautiful semi-classical Guitar Pieces. Mother Gong's Harry Williamson and Anthony Phillips - friends since the late sixties - recorded these beautiful pieces in '75 and '78. In fact their Gypsy Suite recordings resulted in them being offered a deal by Virgin's Caroline off-shoot, which they declined (how would things be if they had accepted?). The Tarka pieces are very well recorded, intimate demos of what eventually was released in it's full multi-instrumental glory in 1987. A gentle, highly evocative and richly melodic release.
