This has got to be one of my favorite albums.......2002-11-23

I love "Now We Are Six"! I have several Steeleye Span albums, all of which I love, but I really like this one especially. I must admit I was surprised when I heard the electric guitars, but I think they really give it a cool effect. If you like this album (which is mostly old english songs to a modern beat), you'll probably like stuff by the Transiberian Symphony.

Now We Are Very Much Improved!.......2001-11-14

To many die-hard Steeleye fans, Now We Are Six marked a turn for the worse in their music. With their decision to start using "modern" instruments such as electric guitars and synthesizers, and to use murky sound and dark subject matter in their choice of songs, Steeleye Span created an album that was not nearly as pleasing as their previous attempts. Happily, this import version makes some much-needed improvements. The sound quality is noticably better, which helps to make the songs easier to appreciate. But the real gem is the extended, six-minute plus version of Thomas the Rhymer - while the original American version is a throwaway bouncy pop tune, the import version contains extra lyrics which Maddy Prior delivers with delightful charm and delicacy. This track alone makes it worth the revisit. Throw your domestic copy of Six away and purchase this one!
