Review by jake.afc Jan 24, 2009

I usually don't like acoustic music.
But i found this record a real milestone of british psych-folk music. It's not like the typical british Mod music (The Who, for example) with lots of drums, guitars and hypnotic sounds. This is a very "quiet" album, with great vocals and melodies. This record makes me go high with my head as it sound as pure psychedelia. It has a touch of gothic, but also some tracks wich features the Sitar, which is a real pleasure to listen to.
This is one of my favourites LPs in my collection, i don't care that this is a repress.
