Double album on purple vinyls with gatefold cover and one3-track bonus 10? on clear vinyl

One of Skyclad’s strongest efforts, 1994’s ‘Prince Of ThePoverty Line’ saw Britain’s leading pagan-thrash-folkers flying atmaximum broom-warp thanks to the now symbiotic songwritingpartnership between enigmatic vocalist Martin Walkyier andguitarist Steve Ramsey. Album highlights such as the requisiteenergetic opener, ‘Civil War Dance’, the violin-infused, metallicquasi-jig ‘Sins Of Emission’, and the stunning, even morefiddle-dependent power ballad ‘The One Piece Puzzle’ all attain thehighest creative caliber with unprecedentedly fluid proportions —yet do so without breaking away from previously established Skycladmodes. So fluid and familiar, in fact, that it almost goesunnoticed that longtime violinist Fritha Jenkins had been replacedby one Catherine Howell (who would herself be gone within theyear), or that these tracks were still, in essence, very odd,bizarre, and original. As usual, though, it’s Walkyier’s lyricstaking the cake in this regard. As has become an inimitabletrademark over the years, his inscrutable tales of fantasy, feigned(or real) insanity, and even silly humor are spun into surprisinglytopical and realistic dissertations, if one actually takes the timeto dissect them. As for other mentionable moments, there’s theadded keyboard layers embellishing standout tracks ‘Cardboard City’and ‘Land of the Rising Slum’, an unexpected choral backdropcontrasting nicely with the hard-charging ‘Gammadion Seed’, and,with Ramsey and fellow six-stringer Dave Pugh holding court,there’s not a wasteful guitar solo in sight. Simply put, one ofSkyclad’s best.
