Three albums included in Prog Folk

Hey I love Christian Lucifer! beautiful and charming album which gets me in a calm state of mind so easily.

It's very different than Comus but equally enjoyable, Hmmmmmmm.... I don't know...

Well, I'm giving Perry Leopold some Christian Luciferian love.  Comus' FU is fantastic (have said before that I thought it should be the top ranked album in PA), and that Spirogyra is a wonderful album, but I have become terribly infatuated all over again with Christian Lucifer over the last couple of months. 

I love Mice and Rats in the Loft, especially for Sun Symphonica.  I pondered having that in the poll, but wanted to stick with three and am slightly more into these three albums these days.  Jan Dukes de Grey, Comus and Spirogyra are my traditional faves in Prog Folk and I associate them really strongly.  Great acid folk.

I just did a search cause I know I've done  a few polls with Jan Dukes de Grey over the last few years and I had forgotten I did this long tracks poll a few months ago. http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=96357

That Perry Leopold album is one I heard many years ago at university and absolutely loved, but I'd long forgotten what it was called and I've been searching in vain to identify it for 20 years. Thanks for putting this poll up - it means that I now know its title and can add it to my collection at last.

I'm much more familiar with First Utterance than the other two, but they are all definitely great albums so I voted "can't choose"

I've heard some of the Chrissy Lucy album before in poll or thread you made at one point; I knew the title rang a bell. Ultimately, I ended up voting for Spirogyra. I like the other two but not as much as that Spirogyra album.

Bells, Boots and Shambles may very well actually be my favourite Spirogyra too.  It certainly was my favourite at first of the first three, and then I got more into St. Radigunds for a while -- I did almost choose that album for this poll.  I like all of the first three very much, and am kind of surprised that Old Boot Wine is rated so much lower than its predecessor and follow-up.

I also loved the Perrry Leopold from first spin, but like you, my appreciation deepened with subsequent spins.  The first track initially stood-out for me for some reason at first, but now that is the only track I sometimes skip.  Also, the overall progressiveness of the whole album didn't strike me at first, and it took a while for the music to really unfold for me.  I suggested Perry Leopold for PA after a member PMed me about the album knowing I'd love it, and I thought Prog Folk Related at first.

Just cause I want post another clip for people to check out:

I like all three albums here, but I like Comus First Utterance the most.
