about

EARLY PRE-RELEASE MIX BEFORE JORAN ELANE ADDED HER VOCALS AND NICO STECKELBERG RECORDED ADDITIONAL INSTRUMENTS.
In 2004, Roland returned with his first new album in seven years, the largely acoustic "Pavane", which was released on Roland's own (revamped) label Gaslight Records. The album provided a further glimpse into his mind including a brief baroque instrumental piece that he had discussed recording with film composer Michael Nyman many years earlier. This album was re-issued by Black Widow Records in Italy in 2006.
After many years of silence here's the return of the great English minstrel named Paul Roland. This brilliant album is much in the folkish vein of the artist, a worthy follow up of masterpieces like "Dance Macabre" or "Masque";
'Dark Carnival', 'Phantoms', the sinister 'Hymn' and the delicate 'Pavane' are the strong points of this beautiful effort. Highly recommended. [Urbanaspirines.blogspot.com]

I shared a label with the Soft Boys back in the early 80s and was seduced by 'Underwater Moonlight' on first hearing. Privileged to have Robyn guest on my 'The Puppet Master' and 'Mad Elaine'). Paul Roland

London Stone
by Bevis Frond

This man never releases a weak album. Love them all. Heavy stoner rock to whimsical psych, bursting at the seams with strong songs and totally wired psych guitar. A killer, no filler. Paul Roland

For almost 50 years Marc inspired and energised me. Privileged to have been managed at one time by June and to have written 4 biogs - trying to capture what made him my main man. Paul Roland

I'm still a little blown away by the fact that one of my guitar influences released an instrumental guitar album on the same day as me and I didn't realize it. But I've listened to it twice now and it gets better with every play. In places it's like Syd Barret, Robby Krieger, and the Penguin Cafe Orchestra are having a jam session. Darren Douglas Danahy
