From: http://www.compulsiononline.com/index2.htm
For around twenty years Joolie Wood has been multi-instrumentalist
with Current 93, yet Tales of Colour and White represents her first
ever solo offering showcasing her talents as songwriter and musician.
Aided by members of the Current 93 extended family, and released on Simon Finn's label, the four tracks offer a brief
overview of her musical vision dipping into acoustic folk,
neo-classical and improvisation.Gently introducing the EP is 'Jewel Song', a soft reverberating
atmosphere that gives way to a tranquil stringed section derived from
mandolin and violin. It's followed by 'You Own The Universe', a gentle
ballad featuring Joolie's hauntingly vulnerable voice over some fine
finger picked guitar by Simon Finn, and tumbling piano notes from Maja
Elliot. The croaky spoken voice of Karl Blake shadows Joolie's singing
voice over the acoustic strum and piano score of 'Where All The
Flowers Grow'. There is a fragility to the music that suits her voice.
Still her distinctive flute and violin playing on these two tracks
can't escape comparison with her work with Current 93 and specifically
her contribution to Thunder Perfect Mind. Karl Blake's soaring
electric guitar figures prominently on the final track, 'Melt With The
Snow', slipping away at times to let the violin lead the melody. That
too gives way to allow her voice to nestle amongst a beautiful setting
of harp, acoustic guitar and a tumbling piano score. It's the finest
of the brief set of tracks, merging passages of classical
instrumentation with electric guitar improvisation.Tales of Colour and White is an all too brief introduction to the work
of Joolie Wood. Joolie continues work on her full-length debut album.
