Richard Hill's Chanctonbury Ring, from 1978 by request, FLAC limited time only

 



Richard Hill made quite a bit of library music back in the day, I would love to know the quality of that material.  This LP is from 1978 and is not really library, being more concept album I would presume.

It's a bit of an odd mix of classical composition plus orchestral plus commercial songs plus Mike Oldfield type instrumentals.  Despite the cover and the impression you might get, it's definitely NOT Oldfield-style progressive music.

The track called Sisters of the Moon gives you a reasonable idea of the contents, note the mix of orchestra and simple melody with bizarre background (orgiastic?) chanting:
