PAGAN HARVEST Creepy pagan folk - with echoes of Circulus and Comus - which should appeal to witchery acolytes of Wiccan culture who are drawn like a Magnet to The Wicker Man. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Edited by Psychedelic Paul - September 01 2024 at 07:02 |

OYSTERBAND Slightly punkish and sounding uncomfortably close at times to dentally-challenged Shane MacGowan and the Pogues.

OUTBACK By crikey, mates! Strike me down with a didgeridoo and tie me kangaroo down, sport. Can you tell what it is yet? It's Outback, a fair dinkum aboriginal duo coming to you all the way from the outback of Oxfordshire, but sounding more Australian than a Paul Hogan ad for Fosters lager. G'day cobbers. ![]() ![]() ![]() Edited by Psychedelic Paul - August 22 2024 at 13:56 |

ORPHEUS GHOSTSONG Spooky psych-folk from Orpheus Ghostsong. Don't have nightmares. Ghostwatch:- The creepy Channel 4 show that actually drove someone to commit suicide, although not as scary as Jim'll Fix It. ![]() Edited by Psychedelic Paul - August 22 2024 at 11:01 |

OLIVER A reclusive folk singer known only by his first name who makes Mike Oldfield seem like the life and soul of the party by comparison. Standing Stone is an ultra-rare Prog Folk album (only 250 copies were ever pressed) recorded by part-time farmer and reluctant musician Oliver Chaplin at a remote sheep farm in Wales whilst surrounded by various animals and "small winged creatures", so don't be too surprised if you hear the occasional bleating sheep or twittering birdsong in the background, and if anyone's lucky enough to own the original vinyl album (fat chance!) and wishes to sell, then they should have enough money to retire to a remote sheep farm in Wales. Baa. ![]() Edited by Psychedelic Paul - August 21 2024 at 11:48 |

SALLY OLDFIELD It's time for a Celebration of the gentle Femme folk music of Sally Oldfield. I've noticed she doesn't receive the recognition she truly deserves on ProgArchives (mainly because she's overshadowed by her famous younger brother Mike). Sally's best-known song is of course Mirrors, an Easy-on-the-ears gentle folk refrain from her debut Water Bearer album, and who can forget You Set My Tsetse Fly Free? There's a certain Mystique attached to Sally Natasha Oldfield's albums, and my Instincts tell me that her Secret Songs will ignite The Flame of passion and Arrows of Desire for her music along The Enchanted Way. Her gorgeous songs are as varied and entertaining as the proverbial Three Rings in a circus on a Strange Day in Berlin. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Edited by Psychedelic Paul - August 18 2024 at 07:27 |

OBERON A Midsummer Night's Dream is a Shakespearean comedy, where "comedy" is meant in its loosest possible sense, being about as funny as a Little & Large end-of-pier seaside show. Oberon (King of the fairies in the afore-mentioned play) were a seven-piece Prog Folk collective, which includes amongst their line-up, Robin Clutterbuck (rhyming with Charlie Foxtrot in army parlance). No sniggering at the back. ![]() |

THE NORTH SEA SCROLLS An alternative folk band who turn out to be ruder and more controversial than Bernard Manning and with an album that includes the song "Enoch Powell - He's the Man for Me"- so not an album to include in your great aunt's Christmas stocking. ![]() ![]() ![]() Bernard Manning and Richard Wilson together on The Mrs. Merton Show - "I don't believe it!" ![]() |

NORTH SEA RADIO ORCHESTRA Does chamber music float your boat? If so, you'll love the sound of the NSRO, an innovative chamber orchestra led by Craig Fortnum, combining classical and folk in a unique style all of their own and sounding quite unlike anything you may have heard before - unless you happen to be a fan of the Penguin Cafe Orchestra, another offbeat ensemble who North Sea Radio Orchestra have often been compared with. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Much safer to stay at home listening to the North Sea Radio Orchestra than risk life and limb in the scariest and most dangerous sea in the world. Remember, this was the sea that sunk the Spanish Armada! ![]() Edited by Psychedelic Paul - August 15 2024 at 06:03 |

TOM NEWMAN He's more than just famous for producing Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells (which would rank as an amazing achievement in anyone's C.V.), but Tom Newman is also an outstanding musician in his own right with thirteen (virtually unknown) solo albums to his credit. Tom is a good friend of Virgin typhoon Richard Branson - who knows a thing or two about dirigibles - and whose main claim to fame is having once starred in an episode of Baywatch where he was rescued from drowning in a water skiing accident by The Hoff. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Edited by Psychedelic Paul - August 17 2024 at 05:34 |

MOURNING PHASE A gloomy album dealing with love, loss, grief and bitterness in the wake of an apocalyptic break-up. No, it's not another depressing album from doom and gloom merchant Roger Waters, but a charmingly intense album from an obscure folk band who disappeared shortly after the album's release, when Mourning Phase presumably entered a long phase of mourning after their album failed to sell. ![]() ![]() |
