Hyped Up By Dealers Worldwide As A Masterpiece Of Acid-Folk This Has A Few Arresting Moments But Is Generally Overestimated. The Main Problem Is The Compositions Which Do Not Render Anything Not Heard Before Elsewhere. At Worst They Are Trite And Lacking Of Depth At Best They Are Agreeable As On Agape And On By Far The Best Track Living Water. The Playing Is Good While The Lyrics Have Strong Religious Undertones. Pauline Filby Sings Very Well But Often Sounds Uncomfortably Like Dusty Springfield While The Overall Sound Is Reminiscent Of The Seekers. The Most Positive Effect Of This Album Could Be That One May Want To Re-Read The Excellent Narnia Cycle By C.S. Lewis. In June 1972 The Band Agape Formed Featured John Russell And Pauline Filby. Filby Had Been Married For Some Time To Jack Filby Who Was A Vicar. They Formed A Folk Duo After Their Marriage And Lived In Cliff Richard's Home In Essex Which Was A Christian Arts Centre. Pauline Had Been A Folk Singer For A Few Years Before She Married. Quote From "The Tapestry Of Delights" Book By V. Joynson
