Review : http://progressive.homestead.com/sweden3.html#anchor_161 * Soft Abuse The Skygreen Leopards : One thousand Bird ceremony (rec.2004,re.2004)**° Song based psych-folk-pop. Seems not to fit well enough in this show. Review : http://www.psychedelicfolk.com/acidfolkreview2.html#anchor_43 * Night Eve Robin Crutchfield : Toadstool Soup (US,2006)**°’ Tr.2, "Elftrail" 3 min -24 Minimalist elf music, with lots of repetitions. Review : http://www.psychedelicfolk.com/acidfolkreview16.html#anchor_433 * Private Montgomery : demo (US,2007)***° Tr.1, "Crane Song" 5 min -29 Guitar and some sitar based instrumentals. Review : http://www.psychedelicfolk.com/acidfolkreview17.html#anchor_487 * demo Third Eye Of The Crone : Fables for the Disenchanted few -EP- (UK,2007)****' Tr.1, "We cometh and we passeth away" 2 min Tr.2, "Gently is the way" 3 min Tr.3, "Wooden words" 3 min Tr.4, "Night Kills Day" 3 min Tr.7, "Shadow on the dial" 2 min 13 -42 The more I listen to this the more I am convinced this is really very Good psych-folk. Deserves definitely an official release !! These tracks are essential listen. The recording quality could have been better, but the kind of distortions don’t disturb at all, and more sound like deliberate experimental effects. Review : http://www.psychedelicfolk.com/acidfolkreview18.html#anchor_491 * private Big Blood : Strange Maine 11.04.06 (US,2006)***°? Tr.1, "All Operations" 9 min -51 Very talented acoustic off-shoot of Cerberus Shoal, operates often as a duo, but sometimes is a trio on the recordings. You hear some of my favourite tracks from their 5 private releases. Experimental acoustic songs. * private Big Blood : Space Gallery jan.27,2007 (US,2007)***° Tr.4, "Shrining Light" 5 min -56 * private Big Blood : Strange Maine 1.20.07 (US,2007)***° Tr.4, "Handsome Son of No One" 7 min Tr.5, "Satie II" 1 min 8 -60 * private Big Blood : Sew your wild days tour I (US,2007)***' Tr.1, "Adversaries and enemies" intro ->2 min * private Big Blood : Sew your wild days tour II (US,2007)**° Reviews on http://www.psychedelicfolk.com/acidfolkreview18.html#anchor_493 - psych-folk : * Yesternow Shoreline : From Eden, Home and in between -EP- (UK,2006)****’ Tr.1, "Lighting" 3 min Tr.2, "Kings" 3 min 6 Extras : track 3-5 Very nice psych-folk item. * demo Shoreline (UK,2007)**** Tr.6, "Time Well Spent" 1 min Tr.9, "Eye" 3 min -70 Review : http://www.psychedelicfolk.com/acidfolkreview17.html#anchor_450 * demo Bunwinkies : (10 track) demo (US,2007)**°° Tr.1, "Winter Lady" 4 min -74 Often slightly disturbed but always sweet psychfolk, with a few beautiful ballads too in between outsider folk weirdness. Review : http://www.psychedelicfolk.com/acidfolkreview18.html#anchor_506 * Manimal Vinyl The Chapin Sisters / Winter Flowers (US,2007)**°° extra : track 1, Chapin Sisters 5 min Tr.6, Winter Flowers : "Fire Song" 5 min -79 Winter Flowers is one of the new promises recalling the '70s UK folk period and are a fine example of the one of the best from the new American independent folk scene. Chapin Sisters have less arrangements and are more voice based. Review : http://www.psychedelicfolk.com/acidfolkreview18.html#anchor_516 * Private The Pendulums : Moonmountain (UK,2006)***° Tr.1, "Brand New Song" 5 min Tr.2, "Mercat" 5 min -90 Very good live recording of this new folkrock/chamber folk band, with especially on the second track a certain Pentangle influence, with glockenspiel, and jazzy double bass. I still hope to hear a studio album from them one day too. They have an original “acidic” pixie-headed style.

Review : http://www.psychedelicfolk.com/reissue4.html#anchor_196* Restless Penny Davies & Roger Ilott : Big Water (AUS,2006)**° extra : track 1, 5 min New release continued more or less in the same vein.

"Adagio" is an old time favourite song, here in a new version. Reviews : http://www.psychedelicfolk.com/folk.html#anchor_94 - reissues : * Sunbeam C.O.B.: Moyshe McStiff & the Tartan Lancers of the Purple Heart(UK,1972)****° Tr.4, "Eleven Willow" 3 min Tr.9, "Marta & Marry" 5 min -114 One of the best British folk items, neglected in those days. Review : http://www.psychedelicfolk.com/reissue4.html#anchor_199 * Sunbeam Loudest Whisper (UK,1974)****' Tr.3, 4 min Tr.4, 3 min Ashame I couldn't airplay more of this brilliant spiritual psych/folk/pop item. These two tracks give some idea of great moments.
