The Tiller's Lament

Released 1998

At present, Brian Forden's only album, but one that is worth more than most people's entire careers. Quiet and exceedingly pensive, 10 tunes beautifully arranged and recorded. There is a small group of people, none personally known to General Ludd Music, who consider this one of the top 5 or 10 albums of the 1990's. Available in response to a request from one of them, with great thanks to Brian for allowing it to be available freely. Available as both mp3 and FLAC (lossless) audio.

This music is here to be listened to.  Show your appreciation in one of three ways: donate, purchase the physical CD using the Paypal button to the left, or, best of all, organize a house concert or hootenanny.

About

General Ludd Music is a group of musicians and listeners. It exists for the making and sharing of music, preferably through performance, either in house concerts, which take the form of one or a group of musicians playing formally for an audience, or in hootenannies, where musicians and listeners get together informally to play music.

General Ludd Music began in 1995 as a collaboration between Bill Foreman and Peter Giuliano. Over the course of the years since, a fairly large catalogue of releases accrued. They are available within for download under a Creative Commons license. Physical CDs are available for purchase. The recordings are wonderful, and will hopefully inspire participation.
