Window – Window (1974) (@256)
18 Aug 2010
(Review from myspace.com, radioactiverecords.com)
This fabulous folky/psych album from the 1970s is yet another example of another great album that fell through the cracks in the musical pavement. American songstress Judy Kelly enlisted the help of high school friends to flush out her bare arrangements and in the process created a document of their young lives.
“Window” began as a poem that had been sung at a friends wedding. It was recorded in one take, with Liz Volk adding a second piano for ornamentation; resulting in a lovely, wistful acoustic album.
The star of the show is undoubtedly Judy Kelly, whose range, poise and delivery are reminiscent of the vocal talents Linda Perhacs, Vashti Bunyan, and even Joni Mitchell in her heyday.
There’s lots of trippy psychedelia, particularly on the outstanding “The Magician and Noah”, and the strong, acoustic guitar-based accompaniment is tight but understated throughout.
Track List:
01. Silver – 2:58
02. Noah – 3:24
03. Lullaby You – 3:26
04. Day Star – 2:29
05. Comfort Me – 2:42
06. Happy To See You – 2:15
07. Jamie – 2:33
08. Beginning – 3:29
09. The Magician – 1:55
10. You Can Pray – 2:09
11. Window – 2:07
12. Shine – 3:59
13. Jenny’s Song – 2:47
14. The Garden – 3:13

Band seems really interesting – love 60s psych/folk female vs. male harmonies – yes, Jefferson Airship, but especially the sound of United States of America and Birmingham Sunday, both were unfortunately only one LP bands – but I have never ‘got’ Joni Mitchel, is it heresy to say that!
Of recent female singles really like Souad Massi, Amel Mathlouthi and Marta Gomez.
But the problem I have is that I have a Mac and cannot open Window file in Unarchiver – I have the latest version 2.5, not 1.3 as stated in your FAQ – Please help.

I’m not using a Mac, that’s why I can’t come up with extra suggestions.
Just know that Unarchiver 1.3 stated in FAQ does work.
Are you sure your problem is related to the unarchiver bug? Perhaps your download has gone wrong and re-downloading might help.
