Peter Weekers' Fata Morgana

Note the similarity to the Flairck album covers.  A commenter pointed out to me this earlier album from 1981 from Peter Weekers the flautist from Flairck who was responsible for some of the most breathtakingly beautiful tracks on Mamadeus.  This is again similar to both the aforementioned classical-influenced, folky, proto-new agey bands with, unfortunately, the bamboo flute and its breathy tone taking centre stage.  Luckily, to my relief, he does set it aside for some tracks.  The music is almost all written by him, with one track penned by his co-artist multi-instrumentalist Rob ven der Vlugt:





In most respects it is quite ordinary and lacking the spark of invention that made Mamadeus such a masterpiece for me.  The long track, title track, is the highlight here.
