2012 two CD set. Disc One is the ethereal side of the Mediaeval Baebes whilst Disc Twp showcases their more folky side. This is the Mediaeval Baebes 15th anniversary and eighth studio album. The Mediaeval Baebes exquisite storybook opened it's pages in 1996, when a group of friends broke into a North London cemetery and sang together, clad in flowing white gowns and crowns of ivy. Pulling lyrics from mediaeval texts and setting them to original scores using mediaeval and classical instruments, whilst singing in an impressive array of long forgotten languages, the Baebes offered a unique musical beauty and outstanding talent. Their choice of mediaeval texts were dramatic, obscure and dark in topic and remarked upon the inevitability of death, the pointlessness of material possessions, the horror of unrequited love or the dangers of imbibing too much alcohol. Some themes are timeless!
