Ben Walker I have a very well-worn vinyl copy of this album, and I have a feeling Ill be spinning the digital version just as much. An absolute classic. Favorite track: Ring The Living Bell Shine The Living Light. allowed Melanie the room to indulge her lyrical obsessions while Schekeryk created superb musical accompaniment from her simple but forceful melodies. The epochal Ring the Living Bell is a pocket suite that takes a skeletal lyrical conceit and gives it flight through sheer belief while Schekeryk's arrangement, reinforced with gospel style vocal backing, makes this accomplishment all the more impressive. I would love to have heard Center of the Circle, on the radio, as a single. It's a great song, produced beautifully. Track List: 8-10 8. Melanie - Kansas 1971 13 Songs. Gather Me. Folk 1971.
