Classic Rock - DVD Feature Review ********

"The eccentric genius who inspired Zep and Floyd matures with age".

"... the film and the audio have been unobtrusively enhanced to compelling effect... Pastoral, sometimes trippy images are skilfully woven into the footage, often merging in and out of Harper's face. It's simple, imaginative and never distracting."
Hugh Fielder

   About Roy Harper
"He may be cantankerous and opinionated but through all this he remains a highly intelligent poet and a hopeless romantic blessed with a remarkable voice. Mostly, his entire recorded output is hugely underrated."

RH, hope you've been a good lad this year, so that Krampus doesn't take you away in his basket!

Photobucket

Krampus is a mythical creature who accompanies Saint Nicholas in various regions of the world during the Christmas season, especially Austria. The word Krampus originates from the Old High German word for claw (Krampen). In the Alpine regions, Krampus is represented by an incubus-like creature. While Saint Nicholas gives gifts to good children, the Krampus warns and punishes bad children. Traditionally, young men dress up as the Krampus in the first two weeks of December, particularly in the evening of December 5, and roam the streets frightening children and women with rusty chains and bells. In some rural areas the tradition also includes birching by Krampus, especially of young girls. Images of Krampus usually show him with a basket on his back used to carry away bad children and dump them into the pits of Hell. (Courtesy of Wikipedia)

Kinda gives new meaning to the words, "He sees you when you're sleeping, he knows when you're awake. He knows if you've been bad or good, so be good for goodness sake!"
