Emma Myldenberger have a unique sound, essentially acoustic, mixing various elements from authentic pagan
folk to medieval and psych-
progressive rock. The exact history behind this band is vague, admitting only a few indications. Their first album was probably released in 1978. Musical themes are closed to ancient music, ritualistic in nature. The instrumentation essentially refers to a nice orchestration made of guitars, oboe, ocarina, mandolin, crumhorn, hand percussions, with addition of a fragile female voice and an almost eastern-like exoticism. Their second album called "Tour de trance" is considered to be one of the most achieved psych-
folk listenings. A very ambitious effort made of high quality kraut-
folk improvisations. After two releases the band formed the Radio Noisz Ensemble (Third Ear Band, Between similar musical experiences).Garden of Delight reissues contain some precious informations about the band short history.
