Description
Artist: Siloam Title: Reflections Format: 12" Vinyl LP Label: ( private pressing). Condition vinyl: VG++. Jacket: VG++ some corner wear. Gatefold jacket. Some info from the interweb: This particular Siloam is from St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church in Gilroy, California. It appears to be mostly the work of songwriter, singer and guitarist David Duerr, but there are numerous folks assisting him. Re?ections is a delightful two-disc amateur production that often recalls two of my favorite folk/folk-rock groups: God Unlimited and Ellis & Lynch. Musically there’s a broad range of styles, yet the album has a sincere cohesive quality from start to ?nish. Gentle male/female harmonies are the norm, acoustic guitars, piano, bass, drums, electric guitar, sometimes embellished with ?ute, oboe or recorder. Home-made brass and strings also show up periodically, but they didn’t bother me one bit. ‘Feelin’ Free’, ‘You Are You’, ‘Thanks To Our Maker’, ‘Your Birthday’, ‘I Am Your Instrument Lord’ and ‘Thank You So Much Jesus’ all have softly—?owing worshipful melodies similar to later God Unlimited, while ‘More Abundantly’ brings to mind the folk/pop of Gamble Folk. The ballads “Life Is Like A Flower In The Desert’ and ‘Make Me Like Your Mountains Lord’ stand out with their mesmerizing ethereal beauty. Some rock moments with psychy organ and electric guitar, most notably ‘Psalm 100’. Also side trips into country, solemn choral/classical, a touch of marimba on ‘Proverbs 3:5-6’, even a bit of experimental rock opera on the ten-minute ‘Woe Be To The Nation’ which includes wah-wah guitar, trippy organ, a screaming baby, gloomy Gregorian harmonies and dynamic spoken portions. Gate-fold cover with lyrics inside. (The Archivist, 4th edition by Ken Scott).
Winner add $4 media shipping in the US and $23 for international air post ($9 Canada). Please keep in mind that Ebay takes 10% of the shipping fees, and I use a new record shipper box with 2 stiffener pads to safely ship this LP ($1.50 my cost).
