Acid, freak, wyrd folk and related

One of my favorite wyrd psych folk things....Espers doing Flaming Telepaths by BOC.....10 min long.

Same for Nico's "The Marble Index"

Erica Pomerance's "You Used To Think" is a pretty cool early freaky folky album as well. Sitting somewhere between Jefferson Airplane and Linda Perhacs. Not as freaky as i'd like but pretty cool for its time :)

Moonkyte....Count Me Out....1971...not sure why this isn't on PA..... proggy psych folk imho.....and a nice fun album on several levels.

I liked Ripaille a lot -- haven't heard that album in quite a few years.

As for Catherine Ribeiro, I classify the music as Progressive Acid Folk (aka Psyche Folk) so would have it in Folk, but I guess, say, Paix is more rock then her earlier ones (but that is still folky, so I don't know). I do not know the later albums. I don't remember the cases now, but there has been more than one Acid Folk act in Psyche that I would sooner have put in Folk as a Progressive Acid Folk act but was placed in Psych as I recall. Don't know why the move was made.

Such a shame we don't have multi-genre album tagging.

Edit: By the way, one of my favourites.

I knew Carol of Harvest; like it.

Right now I'm on a major Robbie Basho kick.

Thanks, David. I love that Exuma album, and I like the second a lot too. It's one that everybody into freak folk, and into certainly into Caribbean junkanoo freak folk, should know. ;) One might glibly, and not I'd say accurately, describe Exuma as Comus on coconuts (I've heard that rancid coconuts can cause visions).

My memory is not what it once was, but I seem to recall you mentioning Povl Dissing before. I listened to a track off the album you mentioned on youtube and liked it. I can hear where the vocals in part might be an acquired taste to some, but I acquired the requisite tastes long ago (even if some think my tastes show a lack of taste).

^ That's a good song. I had really liked Jefferson Airplane, and this Kantner album with Grace Slick, David Crosby, Graham Nash, and Jerry Garcia album is something of an ending of an era album. Must say, I hadn't heard any of this album in years.

I hope discussion doesn't die out quickly in this thread. Condor, for instance, is very good at asking questions that make threads take off with spirited discussion, but I'm not so adept at setting things off.

I'd like to turn this into a general folk appreciation thread where hopefully many people can banter and discover music that might appeal to their tastes. Maybe I should rename the topic. I'll do a disco one, that might lead to some spirited debate -- although I much prefer dialectic.

I'll do a clip of one of my favourite folk songs (so simple and beautiful to me):



And a different version by Bunyan:



I should keep the embeds down despite my desires since that can cause some people problems accessing the topic.

Cosmic: by the way, I checked out Michael Tyack and enjoyed the music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asaY5Lx0eQk Circulus is wonderful -- I'm on youtube autoplay (fun way to listen to music, I find).

Not too twee for me, though I don't really like it TBH. For a "Moon", I like TwinSisterMoon:
