The Yoked ManTales from the Black Meadow **SORRY CD NOW SOLD OUT!!!**"Tales From the Black Meadow takes this idea one step further, providing an actual CD of music to accompany the stories. All but one track is named after one of the tales and the music of each complements its narrative counterpart.The slight scratchy crackle of the music effectively dates it, making it sound as though it could have been copied from a vinyl record from the '70s. ... atmospheric precision..."Andrew Marshall - Starburst Magazine"Listen to Tales From The Black Meadow and be introduced to the strange and wonderful world of Hammer Horror, of British Folklore, of Radiophonic Scores and things that go bump in the night. A delirious and delicious mystery…"Forest Punk"An irresistibly evocative title that no budding hauntologist could rightly ignore.."The Active Listener"To me, it easily sounds like the opening to a television show from the late 70's. I can see the title card and the credits appearing over gently revolving images...One could still listen to the record and have a sense of the supernatural and the uncanny; dark foggy nights can be heard in the muted tracks. Little details give the songs on Tales from the Black Meadow their spooky spice, such as the soft crackling on each track, giving it the feel of an old vinyl record..."Fascination with Fear"Tales From The Black Meadow is one of the best releases we had this year, with ten marvellous compositions to state it.."Music Blob (Blog)"If you enjoy a bit of Folklore, Poetry, A Mystery on the moors, 1970s kids TV and some very lovely haunting music, then this book and CD are an absolute must.."Keith Seatman - Test TransmissionWhen Professor R. Mullins of the University ofYork went missing in 1972 on the site of the area known as Black Meadow atop the North Yorkshire Moors, he left behind an extensive body of work that provided a great insight into the folklore of this mysterious place.Mullins, a classics professor, had a great interestin Black Meadow, in particular its folklore andspent many years documenting its history andtales that were part of the local oral tradition.In his office, his colleagues found over twenty thick notebooks crammed with stories and interviews from the villages around Black Meadow. Some of these stories seemed to be from the legendary disappearing village itself and provided some vital clues as to how the phenomena was interpreted and explained by the local populace.In 1978, Radio 4 produced a now rare documentary about the folklore,mystery and tales surrounding the Black Meadow area.It also featured music specially commissioned to accompany the programme.This music has recently been unearthed by the Mullins Estate and carefully isolated for your listening pleasure.These stories, poems and songs have also been gathered together to capture the unsettling nature of the Black Meadow.Do not listen to this on your own at night and make sure you shut your windows. Listen for the stamping feet of the horsemen, avoid the gaze of the Watcher in the village and do not walk into the mist.
