FATEA review of Songs from the Uglee Meadow - "Songs From The Uglee Meadow" is an album of contrasts, deliciously arranged string sections impart a fullness of sounds in one songs to be countered by a percussion lead piece with haunting flute and recorder the next. There's not enough flute and recorder used these days. Kim Thompsett pulls it all together in a way that seems as natural as the passing of the seasons, summer into autumn into winter into spring. Her own songs capturing a sense of the spokes of life’s great wheel, the joys and the shattered spokes that make things harder and people stronger. "

Fan review - I got to know this wonderful work through a common friend, Priscilla Hernandez (whose great CD is also available here). Songs from the Uglee Meadow is an absolutely charming work, with a vintage sound that combined with Kim's voice, puts the listener in a trip down memory lane. You would be forgiven for thinking that this is a lost Sandy Denny or Jacqui McShee album from around 1970, it is really that good! - Jose Javier Delmas

Fan review - Kim Thompsett's Songs from the Uglee Meadow is a moss-covered gemstone found in an ancient Faerie vault. Timeless songs, a voice like a glass bell reflecting an untouched mountain river, magic music captured from the luminous woods. Ultimate soundtrack for olde-world courtships, invocations of forest deities, dancing, putting a child to sleep - or just feeling in touch with the universe. I feel so lucky to have found Kim Thompsett's work. The first album's great musicianship transcends and defies all genre & pagan-folk presumptions; becoming an exciting and fresh body of music that will last forever.  Charles Schneider

THE STORY BEHIND THE SONG...
Snowbound is a song of enchantment - the enchantress is weaving a spell of words, music and erotica around the lost knight who has stumbled across her cottage deep in the dark snowy forest.  Despite her solitude and powers, deep down she is lonely and is rather enjoying his company.  She is timeless, but using her powers she has ensured that she appears youthful and beautiful to him.  He has been trapped in enchantment for longer than he realises.  Every so often the veil thins and her magic weakens and she seeks to reassure him there is nowhere else he needs to be.  Like Arthur the Once and Future King, the horse he was riding is quite lost to the realm of fae.
