Can I get their rendition of the whole album? I love medieval music. And I like this album. A good combination.

Stick around for the Idorath cover of Voodoo People by Prodigy...

Am I the only one who was waiting for the armored guys in back to bust loose like the Bosstones' Ben Carr?

(Which, while I'm in the Boston ska aisle, here's Bim Skala Bim covering Brain Damage.)

In my next life I'm gonna be a Belarusian medieval folk rock cover player, as well.

Props to their instrumentation and playing skills, but I really wish they had gone one step further and translated the lyrics to Middle English, even if it was released as just a separate 'b-side' single.

Wow. Came for the Floyd, stayed for the fucking recorder solo. Insane.

Actually I'm mildly surprised that you can get away with singing "we don't need no thought control" in Belarus. Maybe this is the only way.

That was neat.

Reminds me of the time I fell in love with a flute player at a Renaissance Faire. Good times.

Was that an authentic medieval Marshall amp?

Yes.
