^ I agree, Sir Cactoos. By coincidence, I came across a couple of The HU tracks and didn't really like them at all: too much basic, thumping music for me. I noticed that both tracks seemed to be linked to movies or video games, so I guess someone likes them!

But European one is good, too. Below, self-titled album of Ksi??yc (eng. "The Moon") band from Poland, released in 1996. In some way, it resembles Comus in terms of the atmosphere.

^ Thanks for posting this beautiful album. I enjoyed it much more than Comus frankly.

And here's an obscure gem of French prog-folk, which you might enjoy. It jumps around a little in style and language, but that doesn't really disrupt the leisurely, relaxed pace of the album:
