Kenna wants to tell him the truth about what she knows re her master Vandar the psychopathic half-dragon half-vampire, but a mental barrier will not allow her to so. He knows she hides something important from him, but has no earthly idea what; only that he does not trust her and obviously she reciprocates as she distrusts him with her secret The latest Moon romantic fantasy displays the creativity of Rebecca York as she refreshes her werewolf-life mate plot with the enslavement spell that leaves the hero distrusting his beloved and the heroine frustrated with her inability to tell her beloved the truth.

Beyond all the mid 60s psychedilia, it drew continually on earlier genres such as folk, bluegrass and country, and in so doing, reflected something of America's experience and history as a nation. These influences were then often combined with rock and pop styles to produce something that was not only thrilling to listen to but also thought provoking and spiritually rewarding. John York, perhaps more than any other of the remaining band members, has continued to pursue this wider mission in his song writing. John describes `Claremont Dragon' as "a bridge from west to east and back again: from then `til now, from us to them". This is nowhere more apparent than in `Jennifer Tsai' - a lament for a young oriental girl whose life has been cut tragically short in California through someone else's selfishness. The musical arrangement, involving a whole range of Chinese instruments, brings to the piece an atmospheric and haunting quality that invites us to reflect both on loss - and on the consolation of remembering. Similarly, `My Lai' tells of a child born of the union between a Vietnamese woman and an American airman during the height of the war. As the child's hope of a better life in America proves forlorn, she is consigned to a life of poverty and despair. The girl's very name recalls the outrage in March 1968 that brought an end to the innocence in us all. In `No More War', the ghosts of many generations of soldiers come forth to beg those who live to recognise the futility of armed conflict. The fact that the song was released in 1999, of course proves especially poignant for the listener eight years later. `Oh My Children' is an Irish emigrant's letter to his deeply missed loved ones back in the old country. The accompanying Irish harp and tin whistles play their own part in telling a story that must have been lived very many times over during the time of our great grandparents. `Rubiah' is a song of eternal love played to an engaging folk melody. Its upbeat mood is heightened by some highly evocative violin and mandolin that takes you back to the traditional music of the Appalachians - and perhaps even beyond - back to the British Isles. Upon reading the accompanying booklet for the first time, the list of musical instruments (most of them played by John himself) can seem quite overwhelming. But it is when you listen to the album that you realise just how the different influences - Native American, Oriental and Celtic - have helped to build all those bridges. Many of the tracks feature beautiful harmonies and from time to time we hear too the most heavenly sound known to mankind.....the gentle jingle jangle of a 12 string! `Claremont Dragon' is a wonderful record with a truly worthwhile mission. If we really care about the world we are handing down to our children then there should be many more albums like this. |
