'Fantasy' have that nice early Brit thing going on....similar to Spring and Cressida.
I'm a big fan of these early Brit symph and proto prog bands. Edited by dr wu23 - September 19 2017 at 13:52 |

Hah! Yeah erm best not open up the floodgates just yet?
You forgot the Argentinian yardstick for pastoral music: Luis Alberto Spinetta. Here on PA with band Invisible, Spinetta Jade and an earlier band called Almendra. This man's voice can make the inside of my stomach tremble it's so beautiful. |

Death Pastoral! For when the crops are black and rotten, and the shepherd got ergotism and murdered the milkmaid. I think you invented a new genre. Edited by Mascodagama - September 19 2017 at 13:58 |

Hey-ho ranger joe - we should build a fort together. Love that song. One of my fave things about it is it's ability to stay within the confines of acceptable twee. So easy tipping over in full blown sugarhippie mode aka the precursor to contemporary emo vocals: 'Uuuuuuuhhhhh I've got soooooo much emotional feeeeeling!!!!' ...which is something so rarely done right. Mark Hollis and Morissey used to nail it though imo but I'm sure many would disagree (I know for a fact that Morissey is like sonic kryptonite to Dean - bless his boots). |

Huh my only mellotron-suggestion was Celeste and they're italian. Pastoral would be visually similar to picturesque wouldn't it? I picture some kind of peaceful, lovely countryside landscape, but not total wilderness so I'll maybe it needs a mill, a field or maybe a distant farm, a flock of sheep and why not add a shepherdess plus perhaps some beautiful horses too... |

Yeah but you cheated
Doesn't matter now we're all doing it anyway Your description of pastoral fits in perfectly with mine...and Perry Leopold. Christian Lucifer is like listening to condensed field extract. |

Thanks a lot, you guys! Some stuff I haven't heard.
Loudest Whisper - bought CHildren of Lir a few months ago. Superb folk/psych-musical. I love it. Eloy - Not the kind of band I would categorize as "Pastoral". More space-ish. Traffic - Rainmaker is my favourite too, and definitely what I would put in the pastoral bag! Don't like the outro, though... Hidden Treasures is a great track as well. Barclay James Harvest - Galadriel is my favorite tune by them, but I have too listen more carefully to the rest. Of course there's cool with other recommendations from other countries. Ragnarök and Landberk is definitely pastoral, but I must say there is a certain grey, British countryside vibe that I'm looking for. And of course, flute and Mellotron :)

Look - I went to the attic and couldn't find no LP of Traffic (or any porn, btw ) but this pearl of '78 I had completely forgot . Does it count as pastoral ? Edited by Quinino - September 19 2017 at 14:38 |

Hey I have that one - granted only got it because I LOVED Baker Street. Think I was 9 or something. Still have the cd but I see you go longer back with it mister LP
The rest of the album is pretty smokin too. I'm sure Hercules will join us shortly and sing it's praises too. |

Guldbamsen: Gracious does have some pastoral vibes,especially "Heaven", but Affinity is more on the soul/jazz/funk side, although it has one of the most pastoral covers ever, haha!
I have listened a lot to Italian prog, and I totally agree that they have some sacral, pastoral, classical vibe, but as I stated earlier, there is a certain vibe I'm hungry for. I will check out more Moody Blues, Strawbs, Renaissance and Barclay James Harvest!

I have to also mention Pererin, who sing in Welsh. Their first 2 albums might fit the bill

I assume the op knows geese and ghost by Anthony Phillips, tubular bells by Mike Oldfield and the six wives of henry VIII by Rick Wakeman. Those are obvious choices(at least to me). Maybe some early PFM too and other Italian prog I'm sure.
