«Pentangle were unique in adapting traditional folk material, blues and their own bluesy, folky songs to the jazz rhythms driven by [Danny] Thompson’s upright acoustic bass and [Terry] Cox’s laid-back drumming. The restraint of this rhythm section allowed the acoustic guitar playing of [Bert] Jansch and [John] Renbourn, whose styles were generally unsuited to electric instruments (though Renbourn sometimes used low-amplified, hollow-bodied electric guitar) plenty of space to interweave complex threads of melody behind and between [Jacqui] McShee’s and Jansch’s vocals. McShee’s ability to use her strong and steady voice as a fifth instrument, particularly behind Jansch’s vocals, added further depth to the band’s sound.» (From the liner notes to Live at the BBC)

The Pentangle is one of my favorite group. I`ve got all their albums since 1969 up to 1972. Except this one. But it`s on megaupload again... so sad:(
May be you are interested in some russian music, folk?
Hi, Valery. Now I don't have the time, but in the next few days I'll upload it in Rapidshare, so stay tuned!
As for Russian music, yes, I'm interested! It would be very nice of you if you could upload some music that I could share with all other Babe(b)logue readers. Any idea?
Ciao,
Radu

Thank you very much for The Pentangle. Did you like Raznotravie? Next will be Reel which is now called Va-Ta-Ga. The folk-group from Petrozavodsk. Album "Strannie ludi", in english - "strange people"

I think it`s the best group working with the traditional folk songs.

Hi, Valery. Yes, I did appreciate Raznotravie, I've posted right now. Thanx also for uploading Va-Ta-Ga. I'll listen to it as soon as I can.

Thanks for this hard to find gem.
thanks for this Pentangle. the link is still good.
It can't actually work, I believe so.
Any chance of a re-upload?
Would be brilliant, probably my fave band ever.
