One of the most unconventional albums ever recorded, this avant-garde psychedelic suite contains elements of folk, jazz, rock and electronica, but has a sound and atmosphere all of its own. Recorded in 1970, but barely released (despite the enthusiastic support of John Peel), original copies now sell for astronomical sums. Full album download comes complete with comprehensive liner notes.

ReplyDeleteDownloaded this the other day, didn't get past track one due to crappy flaws in the file (ie missing chunks from later on in the song, ruining the listrening experience). I presume similar stuff is laced throughout the download. A shame!
