With the same sense of the insane, burt not as wild, you might want to try Tea & Symphony >> both albums are good.

Without the same insaneness but simlilar acid folk feel >> Spirogyra >> St Radiguns and Bells Boots & Shambles are both excellent.

great suggestiouns by Sean. I really don't like tea And Symphonys' second, though.

I'd reccomend Incredible String Band: The Hangmans' Beautiful Daughter, too.

This might be a little far fetched, but Catherine Ribeiro's five-six first albums are all beautiful, really intense and pretty folky. I love her.

Check out Extradition's only album Hush, and Faun Fables second and third release.

T&S's jO SAGO IS VERGIN ON THE RIDICULOUS SUCH AS GILES GILES & fRIPP'S CHEERFUL iNSANITIES;

RAKEN THAT WAYN IT IS EXCELLENT;

Ribeiro (see under Alpes in the database ) is not really folk for me, they're definitely psyched out with Ribeiro close to anarchy

FaunFables is definitely modern wyrd folk, and in that case, I'd suggest Espers, PG Six and just included last week, Woven Hand.

T&S's Jo Sago is really weird and hasn't aged all that well IMHO. Faun Fables is a great recommendation, so are Espers and Woven Hand. Also a band that isn't listed here but maybe should be - String Cheese Incident. Fresh Maggots is a duo that could be considered similar to Jan Dukes De Grey.

And maybe Silmaril. If you like Woven Hand and Comus you'll probably consider Silmaril a little bit of a blend of those two.

??? I didn' t understand that, but I know I dont' like Jo Sago at all.

Ribeiro (see under Alpes in the database ) is not really folk for me, they're definitely psyched out with Ribeiro close to anarchy

She's just as much folk as Jan de Dukes - Mice an Rats ... but more importantly a relevant reccomendation, Imo.

Woven Hand is pure magic! Especially Consider the Birds. On of my favorite albums of the 00's..
