Only a couple of years after their previous album, Wreckers, The Morrigan released this album, which was their fourth album overall since their formation in 1984. In some respects Masque can be said to be a continuation of what they did on the previous album, but in other respects it is quite different. Wreckers featured some very good Folk Rock songs, but the band seemed slightly unsure about in which direction they were heading. On Masque they present a more confident and original brand of Celtic/medieval Folk Rock. Like the previous album, this one too alternates between folky ballads and raucous, electrified Celtic dance numbers, but the present album flows a bit better. It also reintroduces some of the progressive aspects that were more evident on the excellent Rides Out album from 1990. This music might perhaps not fit everyone's definition of Prog, but it is certainly not your regular Folk Rock affair.
