Willard Grant Conspiracy: Pilgrim Road


Robert Fisher's ever-evolving ensemble return with his most ambitious offering to date. Pilgrim Road features the arrangements of the Scottish composer Malcolm Lindsay and has a a kind of neo-classical gothic twist to it and a vast array of different instruments (anyone out there play the Jerusalem Chuch Bells?). it also features the vocals of Iona MacDonald, on this:

mp3 Willard Grant Conspiracy: The Puglist
mp3 Willard Grant Conspiracy: Vespers

This is in a very different vein from the all out rock assault of Let it Roll; you can download three tracks from the band's website here.

This album has far more in common with 2003's Regard the End, which featured some of the same musicians. This is a wonderful song:

mp3 Willard Grant Conspiracy: Fare Thee Well

He can also be seen performing this and two other songs solo here (Fare Thee Well is especially brilliant).

Buy here.
