Hi.
why is it that on the post Mara are claimed to be Australian, but when you unzip the files the folder within says they're from England? (And from the cover notes it also appears to have been recorded in England)
Nice music though!

Chris
What a strong music! Very ethnic and folk aspects.
Thanks for the discovery!
Hi,
It is awesome,also i want sorella
To answer Chris above: Yes, the band is Australian. This vinyl LP was released on a British record label, with British folk acoustic-bass god Danny Thompson (ex-Pentangle) playing throughout, and so it might well have been recorded in Britain.
IMAGES is Mara's best work. 25 years later they are still trooping on. I love the singer Mara's voice. I have not heard this digital rendering of the album, but all physical copies of the vinyl which I have known are noisier than they should be, especially on the excellent quiet song "Past Caring."
