Progressive music as hell is all I can sayThumbs Up
 
Classified in Wyrd Folk and has definitely a lo-fi quality (sometimes reminding of post rock ambiances) >> these guys are not far from The Third Ear Band. Dronal music >> absolutely lovely
 
actually this is a Steven R Smith project ; but his double Fielding Cd does not give much infos
 
Anybody can help me out here?
 
Is it worthy of inclusion in prog folk?Smile
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

I know this band essentialy by reputation, but it´s a surely a nice musical experience according to the description...Third ear band is one of the most impressive bands for a perfect combination between "eastern, mystical harmonies", "chamber music" and acoustic loops.
With acoustic instruments and for a high spiritual, experimental, ethnic "folk" trip, you can get similar experiences with the music of Ernö Kiraly , PSI,  Jaime Fennelly

For acoustic, folk "dronal" stuffs I also highly recommand the "ritualistic", "incantatory" track called "Groove Inside" (taken from "Legend") by the germans of Parzival

Wow! That sounds amazing. What album can you recommend me for starting up this band?

Third Ear band : Start with the debut Alchemy album and work chronologically until McBeth and avoid the late 80's early 90's records which are complete exploitative and of dubious origin
 
Last year came out The Magus , which is their fourth album that was never reeleased before. Fairly different but my fave today
 
 
Hala Strana: Steven R Smith only has done two albums of which I have only heard Fielding, but he has played with Thuja and both of those grove are from the Jewelled Antler Collective which is classified as Wyrd Folk
 
 
This is highly experimental in some ways, and certainly progressive music, but not rock although I am not far from thinking that such music could have its place in the PA
