ORIGINAL WELSH PRESSING, *NO INSERT.
This Welsh group was at the forefront of Welsh music for only a brief period of 3 years but left a superb legacy of 3 LPs which are highly sought after worldwide even though they sang exclusively in Welsh.
A BOOK BY THE LEGENDARY AUSTRIAN, HANS POKORA (3001 RECORD COLLECTORS DREAMS) INCLUDED ALL OF PERERIN’S LPs which just shows how legendary they were during such a brief period.
THIS WAS THE THIRD AND LAST LP FROM THIS SPECIAL WELSH GROUP AND IT’S HARDEST TO FIND. Superb Welsh Folk/Acid Psych which is highly sought after by collectors worldwide.
Pererin translates from Welsh into English as "Pilgrim". PERERIN EVOLVED FROM A MORE OVERTLY PROGRESSIVE ROCK GROUP NAMED BRAN (another superb Welsh group and again highly collectable worldwide) that released three albums between 1975 and 1978, to release three of their own from 1980 to 1983.
Tir Dirion translates as “Tender land” The wonderful, yet simplistic, cover photo on this album says plenty: an appreciation for the traditional and a lament for the loss of such places and lifestyles. There is something magical about the Isle of Anglesey or “Ynys Mon” which is steeped in history, myth and legend; it was the location for the cover artwork. The simple and wholesome as detailed in the cover artwork now replaced by the sleek and shallow for better or worse depending on your viewpoint of 21st century "progress." It has been said that you could write about a lament for the direction of our planet and yet Pererin is the perfect soundtrack for both stoking the anger of collective loss and then soothing it.
They perform traditional and traditionally inspired original material that combines spiritual and romantic themes with a strong helping of Welsh Nationalistic pride and a desire to preserve their own unique culture.
They sang only in Welsh and English sleeve notes are almost impossible to find. Their original LPs quite rightly command a high price and are highly sought after by collectors worldwide.
While Pererin emphasised the folk element, they were no less progressive, thanks to thoughtful arrangements that featured plenty of mellotron and mildly acidic electric guitar, imaginative percussion, ambitious song structures, and various mood shifts.
The variety of styles explored was impressive, from very traditional to symphonic to country flavoured to just plain eclectic, so unless you have a real aversion to folk or non-English songs, you will find something to like among Pererin's rich if abbreviated legacy. The band was noteworthy for recording solely in Welsh, a characteristic that surely endeared them to their countrymen such as me but undoubtedly limited their commercial potential initially until the quality of the music was internationally recognised by inclusion in well regarded press reviews and databases such as in the HANS POKORA (3001 RECORD COLLECTORS DREAMS) book.
Their first 2 LPs are equally revered, and are also of most interest to progressive fans.
This is another brilliant set of traditional songs played in their very own contemporary electrified folk style. 6 & 12 string guitars, bass, mandolin, synths, mellow percussion and flute. This might well be the folkiest of all their albums, but there’s still a strong progressive feel on it and some killer electric guitar leads. Another must-have for anyone into folk-prog. THIS IS THE LAST OF THE BAND’S VINYL LP OFFERINGS.
