Just been listening to Paul Roland & The Hellfire Club's album A Cabinet of Curiosities album again, which is not to confused with the Cabinet of Natural Curosities posted a few posts up:


And while I mentioned Exuma in my first post, don't think I mentioned Dr. John, the Night Tripper's Gris-Gris (maybe someone did); it has freak folk qualities.

Did a poll comparing these two acts and used these samples some time back, but it wasn't considered interesting enough to get responses, still mention them here.

This is my kind of music, as you probably guessed from my Prog-Folk poll. Smile
 
I don't think I've heard anyone mention Loudest Whisper so far - they were a rare Prog-Folk/Psych-Folk band from Ireland. Their LP "The Children of Lir" only had 500 pressings and the album was only sold in Ireland, although I was lucky enough to buy it on CD from Amazon. This is the opening track from the album...

As you're Psychedelic Paul, your folk poll seemed surprisingly light on the psych to me to be honest (course a lot of great acid pysch is not really "prog" per se). Anyway, love that Loudest Whisper. I had heard it before, but not for quite a long time. Thanks.

Not to worry, it's early days yet - I have a new Folk poll coming up soon which WILL feature lots of Acid/Psych-Folk artists, including many of those "wyrd" and wonderful artists you mentioned in my Prog-Folk thread. Smile
 
I never get tired of listening to that amazing Loudest Whisper album. It's just one of the many hidden treasures of YouTube where I never would have discovered that rare and long-lost album without the help of the Internet.
 
One of the rarest Folk albums of all time is Susan Christie's "Paint a Lady" album from 1970. There were only three pressings of the album ever made!

I'm looking forward to your Disco topic. Thumbs Up

There's a lot of great psych folk hidden under the guise of Krautrock as well. This is just one such case that may not technically be completely folk but has a lot of it

I know and like that Broselmaschine, good one.

Plenty of good psych folk in Krautrock and lots I love in Indo-Prog/ Raga Rock.

Mentioned him already, but Sergius Golowin, listed in Krautrock, is a particular favourite. Emtidi's Saat is one of my fave FolKraut (Folk Kraut) ones -- (listed in folk here). I like Emma Myldenberger's Tour de France (listed in Krautrock here).

Thanks for the link. When you mentioned Disco,  Giorgio Moroder and Donna Summer's "I Feel Love" was the first song that came to mind, and purely by coincidence, I noticed you mentioned Giorgio Moroder in the first line of your thread. Smile
