Fuchsia II From Psychedelia to a Distant Place

by Fuchsia

supported by

zora_y_los_hibernautas Sweet flower-pop album from an underrated band. Favorite track: Fuchsia Song.

dkelvin Because it's a case of musical miracle. T35 years after an underrated masterpiece, a lost of view songwriter is able to reach the same peak with it's follow-up. It could be call gothic prog-folk but it's only great music that sometimes seems to involve Shostakovich. The arrangements are gorgeous, the melodies always inventive and unpredictable, the lyrics marked by extreme lucidity. A must-hear. PS. Tony Durant's voice and way to sing is very similar to Bill Nelson (Be-Bop Deluxe). Favorite track: Fuchsia Song.

Howard Fear Great album - even better than the first. And, Girl from Kandahar is just brilliant. Favorite track: Girl from Kandahar.

about

In a lifetime of music strange things happen. Like Fuchsia, the album that disappeared in '71 and went on to become a cult classic 40 years later. Dream, and never give up. And so, after all these years, comes "Fuchsia II: From Psychedelia to a Distant Place".

released June 10, 2013

2013 sees the arrival of Fuchsia 2- the first proper full Fuchsia studio album since their debut effort 41 years previously. Fuchsia 2 contains fresh compositions and one revised track The Rainbow Song from the original band’s recordings. Again penned and sung by Tony Durant, this new songs retain the ground-breaking spirit of the original Fuchsia. The music on Fuchsia 2 resonates with the same symphonic complexity and melodic depth while possessing a fresh and vibrant contemporaneous energy. .......
The result is music that retains the original Fuchsia spirit and adds a fresh contemporary sheen that does not detract from the grandeur and scope of their original vision. Fuchsia 2 adds to the legend that is Fuchsia. It also creates a new contemporary soundscape and lyrical space for Fuchsia’s musical magic to shine once again.

about

Fuchsia Sydney, Australia

In it's time, the original Fuchsia was groundbreaking. The album encompasses a unique combination of string trio and guitar, bass and drums, and a disregard for conventional pop/folk song formalities.

Now 40 years later, where string ensembles are almost commonplace in folk/popular music, Fuchsia continues to present well-constructed, unusual songs in an unconventional multi dimensional manner. ... more

Fantastic opportunity to get an impression what MoonJune Records is about (fusion, prog rock, avantgarde from all around the world, with a special spotlight on Indonesia ...). Many great artists to be discovered (mostly) and rediscovered (sometimes)! Also, watch out for their special offers due to their 15th birthday (this is why, in short time, many other MoonJune albums will appear here ;-} ). Carsten Pieper
