Radioshow PVHF on radio Centraal, Antwerp : 2006-12-23 New neo-folk, acid & psych-folk (+ folk-psych) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ INTRO (of extra air-time): * G.Parrot Vladimir Václavek / René Parez / Milos Dvoracek : V.R.M. (CZ,2002)***° Tr.3, “I still wasn’t born” 9 min Tr.5, “Three Hares” 6 min Review : http://www.psychedelicfolk.com/CZECH4.html * Indies Kvety : Jablko Jefiho Peri (CZ,2004)***° Tr.6, “Tugador” 3 min Review : http://www.psychedelicfolk.com/CZECH4.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - neo-folk,…: * Percht Sturmpercht : Geister im Waldgebirg (Ö,rec.2004-2006)***° Tr.3, "Riesenbrüder" 3 min Tr.8, "Sterbelied" 3 min Tr.10,"Durch Berg und Tal" 4 min Tr.12,"Vom Toten Schnee" 6 min -16 Neo-and acid/psych folk, with inspiration focused on the Alps. First track is the only orchestrated song (looped orchestration). This is a compilation of their early repertoire. Very good ! “Durch Berg Und Tal” is rather troubadour styled. Review : http://psychedelicfolk.homestead.com/acidfolkreview14.html#anchor_254 * Steinklang Sangre Cavallum : Pátria Granítica (PT,2006)***° Moody gothic neo-folkrock, only a bit too much ritual-Gothic to fit well in this particular radioshow. Review : http://psychedelicfolk.homestead.com/acidfolkreview14.html#anchor_255 * Li-Mohe Keltia : 1666 (B/CH,2006)*** Celtic/Scandinavian-Gothic song music, with Dead Can Dance reference. Review : http://singersong.homestead.com/MedievalDCD.html#anchor_58 - Psychedelic Folk : * private Cabinet of Natural Curiosities : Vineland EP (US,2006)**** Tr.1, “Calico (outside)” 2 min Tr.2, “On the Coast” 3 min Tr.3, “Vineland (part 2)” 4 min Tr.6, “Calico (inside)” 2 min 11 -27 Splendid psychfolk release with some experimental details and lots of colourful melodic clarity and sweetness. Review : http://psychedelicfolk.homestead.com/acidfolkreview15.html#anchor_310 * private Cabinet of Natural Curiosities : Black Wolf Dancers Play Galaxy Of No Stars (US,2005)** More improvised live recording with some other members or different group. Review : http://psychedelicfolk.homestead.com/acidfolkreview15.html#anchor_310 * Attack Nine Woman & Children (F/US,CAN,2002)**° Tr.2, “Guitar Wars” 4 min -31 Extremely ethereal-dreamy acid folk, with, in between these songs, some acoustic guitar pickings. Review : http://psychedelicfolk.homestead.com/acidfolkreview16.html#anchor_416 * Narnack Woman & Children : Paralyzed Dance, Tonight (F/US,CAN,2006)**°’ Tr.4, “Feed a Fire” 5 min -36 I think the band evolved to more clearly expressed songs, without expressing something like a kind of pop music clarity starting point. The sadness of the chosen track is a bit more gothic than acid. Review : http://psychedelicfolk.homestead.com/acidfolkreview16.html#anchor_416 * Drag City White Magic : Dat Rosa Mel Apibus (US,2006)****’ Tr.1, “The Light” 4 min Tr.3, “Childhood Song” 4 min Tr.4, “What I see” 4 min Tr.7, “Sun Song” 4 min 16 -52 Very attractive, mused singing with piano and acoustic guitar mostly. Difficult to take out songs ! A recommended release. Review : http://psychedelicfolk.homestead.com/acidfolkreview6.html#anchor_77 * Helmet Room Birch Book : Fortune & Folly (US,2006)****' Tr.6, “Diaspora” 6 min Tr.8, “Zephyr through willows” 5 min Tr.10,“The carnival is empty” 5 min 16 Tr.11, “Birch Sap” (fragment) 2 min -70 Another successful In Gowan Ring related troubadour styled release. Listen also to IGR’s ‘Hazel Steps..’. Review : http://www.psychedelicfolk.com/acidfolkreview7.html#anchor_109 * Peacefrog The Memory Band : Why / Come Write me Down -single- (UK,2006)***° Tr.1, “Why” 5 min -75 Very nice folk/folkrock track on this single, with good female vocalist. I’m still curious to the full release. Review : http://psychedelicfolk.homestead.com/acidfolkreview17.html#anchor_434 * Attack Nine Winter Flowers (US,2006)***°’ Tr.1, “Misty Morning Band” 4 min Tr.7, “Winter Bird” 4 min Tr.9, “Too young to marry” 7 min 15 -85 Splendid new folkrock/acid/psychfolk band, performed as brilliant as a 70s UK folk classic, or at least, often with a happy summer feeling, performed as if in the same era. In this show I preferred not to list most uplifting happy tracks, but the saddest ones. Impossible for me to airplay less. Review : http://psychedelicfolk.homestead.com/acidfolkreview16.html#anchor_393 * Trunk V.A.: Fuzzy-felt folk (UK,1970s)***°' Tr.5, Claude Vasori : “Folk Guitar” 3 min Tr.9, Oriel Smith : “Winds of Space” 3 min Tr.12, Christopher Casson : “My Mother Said” 2 min 8 -93 Very nice semi-soundtrack concept album of perfectly fitting child-friendly tracks. Review : http://psychedelicfolk.homestead.com/reissue3.html#anchor_147 - folk-psych : * Nomde'Plume Our Generation : Praise and Prayer (US,rec.1972?,LP reiss.2006)***° Side A-Tr.3, “Only a Man” 5 min Tr.5, “Praise” 3 min Side B-Tr.4,(9) “In the presence of the Lord” 8 min Tr.5,(10)“A Prayer” 3 min 18 -111 Christian psych record, from acoustic to more fuzz garage psych. Last track has some psych fuzz freak-out guitar, with softer passages. The original album was a private issue, but also this reissue is. 250 printed only!! Review : http://progressive.homestead.com/prog-3.html#anchor_163 - modern acoustic : * Häpna Hans Appelqvist : Naima (S,2006)****° Tr.1,2, “Naima Melodin” 4 min -116 Review : http://progressive.homestead.com/sweden3.html#anchor_166 - contemporary folk : * Black Point Petr Nikl & Lakomé Barky : Nebojim Se Smrtihlava (CZ,2004)****’ Tr.1, “Pomali Ptaci” 4 min -120 Tr.2, “Brouk” 3 min Description : http://www.psychedelicfolk.com/CZECH4.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Homepage radioshow : http://psychevanhetfolk.homestead.com/ Other playlists : http://psychevanhetfolk.homestead.com/2006.html Newsletter with new reviews and playlists with some audio links : http://groups.yahoo.com/group/psychevanhetfolk/ Subscribe: psychevanhetfolk-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
