And Did Those Feet are made up of Richard Ellin, founder and composer, Ina Williams and Cecilia Jones, vocalists. This is a three-track CD, lasting for only six minutes and 49 seconds but which leaves a lasting impression. The first track "Angelus" is described as ambient trip hop and begins with an Elvis-esque funky guitar intro. It is very hard to pigeon hole this music - with the hauntingly beautiful traditional voices of Ina Williams and Cecilia Jones accompanied with a trip hop beat. But whatever it is - it works! The second track "Mil Harddach Wyt" returns to classical tradition. It is simply Ina singing a traditional Welsh lullaby performed with the minimum of instrumentation to bring out the sheer beauty of the song and her voice. This results in a beautifully serene experience which you wish would go on for longer than its two minutes and 52 seconds. The final track, "Avalon Yet", is a single taken from a previous album, 'Hymn For A Glad Tomorrow'. It is presented here as a video track, which is currently being shown on Classic FM TV. It actually has no filmed parts but consists of a series of beautiful stills which slowly dissolve creating a very soothing and tranquil effect. The stills feature gorgeous autumnal country scenes of Waunifor and surrounding areas, a most ancient place with strong Arthurian connections.
