| | Malcolm Dalglish and the Ooolites, Pleasure, and Hymnody of Earth |
 | | Given my love of Metamora's music, I was delighted to be given a new album by Dalglish to review: Pleasure, released in 1999. |
 | | Pleasure as a whole, however, grew on me to such an extent that I tracked down another album mentioned in its liner notes, Hymnody of Earth. |
 | | On first listen, the album mostly disappointed me. Expecting more wandering, delicate hammer dulcimer sounds, perhaps accompanied by equally wandering, delicate vocals, I was unprepared for the lusty, starkly clean sound of massed young voices, sometimes accompanied by hammer dulcimer, but often a capella. |
