In the epic thread I claimed that this was my top ten favourite progressive/psychedelic/acid-folk albums. clive's original band - spirit of love (1971) simon finn - pass the distance (1970) comus - first utterance (1971) trader horne - morning way (1970) isb - hangman's beautiful daughter (1968) bread love and dreams - amaryllis (1971) panama limited jug band - s/t (1969) famous jug band - sunshine possibilities (1969) dr. strangely strange - kip of the serenes (1969) forest - s/t (1969) What I exactly mean by progressive/psychedelic/acid-folk is rather unclear and the referential range is rather big. Applying non-music attributes, such as 'year', 'country', 'record-label', 'producer' etc. normally narrows it down a bit and I normally use the term to refer to folk-music produced in england/scotland/ireland in the years 1966 (isb's debut) to 197? (let's just say 1975 for convenience sake). Of the three parts in the label "progressive/psychedelic/acid" I can say the following: Progressive (here) means that the music has to be non-mainstream (not likely to be played on national radio) Psychedelic has to do with drugs or a 'druggy-sound'. (Isb sounds very druggy fairport convention doesn't*) Acid has to do with an 'beyond-category-out-there-weirdness' that is usually also druggy but a bit more than that. These are not necessary and sufficient conditions for the lists that you want to post. Just vague guidelines.. I hope you see where I'm going.. The only strict rules are: the British iles, years 1966-75, folk of some strange sort (this means that jethro tull is also included). And not too many albums by same bands plz. Looking forward to see some lists.. By the way - runner ups for my list: vashti bunyan - just another diamod day (1970) (bordeline case) fresh maggots - s/t (1971) (that's fuzzy) farport convention - liege and lief (1969) (another borderline case) *fairport's debut with judy dyble is quite psychedelic, I admit - but in their prime they toned that aspect down a bit. |

Carry on. I agree that it's hard to define what falls under this category. A lot of similar music is either not folky enough, or not psychedelic enough, to quite fit on such a list |

I know little of these. A bit more info (year, country..) would be nice. I would say, though, that pearls before swine's best album is one nation underground (1967). A clear favourite of mine.  < ="-" ="text/; =utf-8">But americans play folk differently from the brits - not saying that they don't do it properly, just different. Two quite different roots. I wasn't really considering american folk music in my list - but why not.. Also, I must admit that titles like 'voice of seven woods' 'the waters of sweet sorrow' and 'through the gates of deeper slumber' are a bit of a turn-off. I mean, browsing through piles of LPs - they wouldn't catch my attention at all. (the cover art could make up for that though - any naked women?) 'nya ljudbolaget' sounds cool and brings to mind my favourite swedish acid-folk record - it's really gentle and haunting.  Turid - vittars visor (1971) She sings ''I'll sing you a ring of flowers/to put in hair/so you'll be fair/for the ladies" in a very fragile voice. That's nice. (what about Kebnerkaise? I don't like what I've heard (kebnerkaise III)) Songs about putting/having stuff in the hair usually indicates a good acid-folk lp. This brings me to another fave in the category:  Tyrannosaurus rex - my people were fair and had sky in their hair... (1968) |

Not many PBS-fans will agree with you. Use of Ashes is one of my favorite albums. Have you actually heard it? After having purchased that and Balaklava, One Nation Undergroud was a little disappointing to me. Tom Rapp hadn't found his own voice or approach yet, on his debut. Too Dylan-sounding.
Then, how could you fail to mention Turid's far superiour Bilder? With a drawing of her naked and all? (And Nya Ljudbolaget is beautiful folk/worldfolk) (IMAGE REMOVED BY M@X - ADMIN GROUP)
Sorry for all that. Here's ten of my absolute faves: Turid - Bilder Catherine Ribeiro +2Biz Pearls Before Swine - Use of Ashes Incredible String Band - Hangman's Beautiful Daughter Spirogyra - St. Radigunds Nya Ljudbolaget - st Extradition - Hush Zeit - Un giorno in una piazza del mediterraneo (Wyrd folk?) Daughters of Albion - st Perry Leopold - Christian Lucifer Just google the names, and you'll find the info you need. Btw: I'm tired of mentioning Comus, but its at no. 1 forever. ------------- Over land and under ashes In the sunlight, see - it flashes Find a fly and eat his eye But don't believe in me Don't believe in me Don't believe in me |

No I haven't heard it. I only have ONU, balaklawa and these things too. Of those three ONU is a clear fave, not a huge fan though. My experience is though that ONU is the most celebrated and name-dropped. 
Wow! Thank you! I was only little aware of it's existence - most certainly a future investment! I stumbled across vittras visor by accident and enjoyed it very much immediately.
thanks..

You can look them all up here, but since I know most of the info anyway -
Nya Ljudbolaget - Nya Ljudbolaget (Sweden, 1980 - but I suspect recorded earlier)
Carol of Harvest - Carol of Harvest (Germany, 1978 - probably the best example of acid folk ever) Espers - Espers I & II (U.S., 2003, 2006) Faun Fables - Family Album (U.S., 2004) Justine - Justine (UK/U.S., 1970) Midwinter - The Waters of Sweet Sorrow (UK, 1993 - but recorded much earlier) Pearls Before Swine - The Use of Ashes (U.S., 1970) Katalena - Babje Leto (Slovenia, 2004) Ramases - Space Hymns (UK, 1971) Smell of Incense - Through the Gates of Deeper Slumber (Norway, 1997 - a 'must-have' IMHO) The Third Estate - Years Before the Wine (U.S., 1976 - but recorded earlier) Voice of the Seven Woods - Voice of the Seven Woods (UK, 2007) I wouldn't dismiss The Use of Ashes without listening to it. Like someone said above, this is probably Tom Rapp's finest work ever - original as opposed to his earlier Dylanesque sound, and outstanding lyrics.
I suppose U.S. prog acts may sound different than those of other countries (so do the Brits for that matter), but you can certainly hear an awful lot of European folk influence in groups like Faun Fables and Espers as well. Tom Rapp spent quite a bit of time in Norway before recording his early seventies albums and there is a lot of Flemish and French influence in that music. And there were several UK bands back in the 70s with embedded Americans who brought Appalachian and delta blues with them as well (Baby Whale, Justine). Many of the UK folk rock acts of the 60s and 70s were produced and/or managed by the American Joe Boyd (ISB, Dr Strangely Strange, Fairport Convention, Nick Drake), and those bands drew heavily from both the Boston-area folk scene (Muldaurs, Dylan) as well as West Coast acts like the Byrds, Jefferson Airplane and Mamas & the Papas. For me it all gets kind of muddled together after a while....
I'm not a huge fan of Tyrannosaurus Rex (although to be fair I'm the one who added them to the Archives); but I agree this is probably the best of the four albums they recorded before Bolan went glam.

You're welcome. Just like Vittras Visor, Turid's Bildar has never been reissued. Let me know if you can't find it anywhere.
Could easily have included Bells, Boots.... myself, I love that and their debut equally. But St. Radigunds got more acid. I've got a slight preference for Pentangle's Cruel Sister. Left them out maily because they have very little to do with acid/psych (same with Trees). John Renbourn soloalbum The Enchanted Garden (the Richard Dadd painting underneath is the cover), might just be the the ultimate Pentangle album. Its got Jacqui McShee on vocals, so it really sounds like their lost masterpiece. Its got a more medieval feel, but so does my most of my favorite Pentangle tracks.  New Progfolkers http://www.myspace.com/faunfablesmyspace - Faun Fables are brilliant. Love their latest EP, A Table Forgotten: ------------- Over land and under ashes In the sunlight, see - it flashes Find a fly and eat his eye But don't believe in me Don't believe in me Don't believe in me |

I searched captaincrawl.com and found bildar, use of ashes and carol of harvest. Based on one sit-trough I don't find bildar as good as vittras visor - but certainly enjoyable. Use of ashes didn't impress me, it was okay, but nothing special. It was too heavy on words.. Carol of harvest did catch my attention. The first and the last track strike me as very proggy, they are long, have changes in mood and tempo and a slightly theatrical singing style. The instrumental sections are lovely weird - I enjoy the oscillator sound. The album, generally, is dominated by low frequencies in the bass and drum sound. That's obvious - but what I mean is that I miss a more 'airy' sound and I would have loved some more strings, flutes, percussion of various sorts and generally more acoustic instruments to complement the music in some parts. < ="-" ="text/; =utf-8">The lyrics didn't interest me and I did't pay much attention to them. They seemed too unearthbound to be authentic in an earthbound folk sense. Mostly, I like concrete lyrical content in folk music. The lyrics here seemed vague, general and way too metaphorical. But I never pay attention to lyrics in prog music. And I don't mind. To me, it sounded like a very good and folky prog album but not the best example of acid-folk.

What hasty decisions are you talking about? I wrote that I didn't find bildar as interesting as vittras visor and that the use of ashes didn't impress me. I even wrote that it was based on one listen. I haven't decided that it is so. Of course not. I communicated an experience, not decisions. I listen to a lot of music - and I am very much aware of how to do it. Certainly I will listen a lot to the use of ashes and bildar in the nearest future with an open mind. very open. If I am to give a piece of advise, I would advise you not to 'out of the blue' interpret what you think people mean when it's not supported by the actual words they use. You even assumed I was impatient while listening - how did you reach that conclusion? By the way, these german favorites of mine deserve a mention       Emtidi - saat (1972) Amon düül - paradieswärts düül (1970) Emtidi - s/t (1970) Hölderlin - hölderlin's traum (1972) Witthüser und westrupp - der jesus pilz (1971) Bernd witthüser - lieder von vampiren nonnen und toten (1970) |

thanks for the recommendation I don't like renaissance though. This is somewhat okay, a bit too symphonic and too beautiful though. I'ts liftet too much above ground yet not very psychedelic or 'acid' - it seems a bit pompous to me..

First telling us that One Nation Underground is Pearls Before Swine's best and a clear favorite of yours. Turns out you only know two albums, and not the one reccomended here. Then you find it on some blog, listen, and come back some hours later and says it didn't impress you, it was okay, but nothing special. (Too heavy on words). This is about Carol of Harvest, I guess?
Wtf? Its no wonder I misunderstand you. You don't make any sense. ------------- Over land and under ashes In the sunlight, see - it flashes Find a fly and eat his eye But don't believe in me Don't believe in me Don't believe in me |

There's not much to understand... I reckon that the bit about the lyrics isn't crystal clear - of course not, as I wrote, I wasn't paying attention - but it makes perfect sense to me. I didn't suppose that writing what I think and not think about this or that record/band would be taken this seriously. But I'll try to explain myself. By saying one nation undergroud is my favorite PBS record I'm not implying that I have analysed it and reached some sort of final conclusion or decision. I'm also not implying that I've done thorough comparison with all the other PBS records. I do understand, though, that the statement could be understood as such and that I could have expressed myself in a more tentative manner. The statement is correctly interpreted as "of the PBS records I know, ONU is my favorite". I assumed it to be obvious that the readers would assume that this was the case and not read it as an attempt to express some universally valid statement - my bad I guess. As to why i think ONU is the best I honestly can't say. I can't explain music and wouldn't want to. To me music is mystery - and that is one of the reasons why I like it that much. I care about how I experience music - I think about what it is that gives me the best experiences - some things I'm aware of, most of them not. I don't know what good music is made of and what makes good music good - I just have some vague ideas and some random criteria for selection (that changes and developes all the time). But the important thing is that I can tell whether I'm having a good or a bad experience. And that's really all I need.. Edit: Another advise:  |

Tarot is extremely recommended. Here's is a rough transcript of the first track, 'der narr' where he introduces the musicians. It's a bit hard to hear because he's speaking in a very thick accent. "Ladies and gentlemen it's a great pleasure for me to present to you the fantastic superest greatest rock show you ever heard. We want you to come with us through the voyage through the time. Come on. Clap your hands stamp your feets and take through rythm. And while you take it I present to you the musicians. In the (?theory?) you'll hear the master of (?tabs?) the genious of keyboards the one and only mister wallenstein Jürgen Dollase. Sweet. Now from berlin we got two of the best guitarist of the cosmic music (?the ash ras?) and here the first mister (?world wide?/?wah-wah?) Hartmut Enke. The second guitarist and friend of Hartmut is Manuel Göttsching. And now listen to the drums - there's sitting Harald Grosskopf. Netherland is the home of the bassplayer, the german (??) Jerry Berkers. And i'll start to present the musicsoundist the multisound Walter Waltersen F. A. W. Westrupp. From berlin also too it's mister cosmic music Klaus Schulze. Ah ja. And last artist the master of (?voice/voyage?) the man from the wide hill the man from switzerland Walter Wegmüller." Great album-opener and what a line-up! And what an introduction. Pure acid.

You're still young. I'm very content with the various music blogs around, you can find almost anything (all the albums mentioned here) goto captaincrawl.com and search. Unless it'll be in conflict with your morals and ethics. As a vinyl fanatic, mp3s (or CDs for that sake) are of no real value, but quite a good way to discover music and decide what to look for. Strange as it might be, I record (some of the) albums onto tape, using this magnificent device of mine.  It's much more easy to relate to music, when the sound has been manifested on some physical and analogue format and not just a combination of zeros and ones. Visible rotation is essential as well...

Indeedy-doo! Comus - First Utterance is a must. It is regarded as the mother of all acid/psych/prog folk albums. Then Spirogyra should be the next natural suggestion, but as someone pointed out before, St Radigunds has more acid than Bells, Boots and Shambles; however, they are both essential. Another option would be Jan Dukes de Grey's Mice and Rats in the Loft - now, I don't usually do this (i.e. recommend albums I'm not particularly fond of), but in this case I know I'm in minority regarding this album. You might find it very enjoyable. Then as a last recommendation, for something lighter, try Midwinter's The Waters of Sweet Sorrow. Enjoy, and let us know what you think! ------------- Property of Queen Productions...

I'd suggest the following:  Incredible String Band - The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter (1968) Probably the mother of all albums in this genre.  Comus - First Utterance (1971) PA favourite, and rightly so. Absolutely amazing record!  Clive's Original Band - Moyshe McStiff and the Tartan Lancers of the Sacred Heart (1972). Shamefully neglected on PA, but a prime example of acid folk - it really doesn't get much better. The personal and emotional involvement displayed on this recording is really unrivalled. I actually prefer their 1971 record "Spirit of Love" to this one. But the arrangements on Moyshe.. are a little more adventurous and diverse and thus a better example of 'acid-folk' - Spirit of Love is more 'traditional'..

Confoundingly difficult to classify (folk, psych, zydeco, field recorded sounds, aimless rambling) and listed under Proto-Prog here, but truly a folk oddity worth checking out... ------------- "Peace is the only battle worth waging."

Some fine picks above! Just a quick heads-up that COMUS will play 'First Utterance' in it's entirety at Islington Assembly Hall, London on Sat 21 Sept...! Support from (less prog/more folk Shirley Collins & Hladowski/Joynes) Details here: http://www.milesofsmiles.co.uk" rel="nofollow - http://www.milesofsmiles.co.uk |
