I feel like listening to acid folk today, so I picked up this album. Trees are English acid folk band that existed in the early 70's. I've found them in a disc guide book of acid folk and since I started listening to their albums, I'm soon hooked on their music.  If you listen to this, you can see their music is heavily influenced by Fairport Convention and trad folk (some songs are originally traditional ballads), but it is more like psychedelic rock, which is the reason why I admire them so. I guess Fairport Convention's fans & trad folk lovers will love this! My fav songs are The Great Silkie and She Moved Thro' the Fair

When I first listened to that, I thought "What the fuck is this?"  The first song is chaotic, spooky and very weird. Diana got instantly stuck in my head and I can't get rid of that anymore. Now I'm hooked

Comus are British Acid Folk / Prog rock bands in the late 60's & early 70's.  Most of them are from art school, and became the support act of David Bowie, who liked them a lot.  But they couldn't make a big success on charts. 

I think this is one of the most impressive (perhaps the best) albums I've ever heard.  I love its eerie atmosphere and Roger Wootton's high-pitched voice  
I think it's best for halloween

That's some seriously weird shit.  Love the theremin though.

  "Spooky and Weird Shit" - no argument    I think Ted Kaczymiski loved Comus and played them over and over as a student at Berkley    (The Unabomber)       The first party I went to in Berkley (University of California) --- between beads for doors, candles for light and Comus for music' I thought "what the fuck is this shit ?"

Many Genesis aficionados usually cite one of their earlier, Peter Gabriel-led offerings as their best - they are all good, but for me, A Trick Of The Tail, their first post-Gabriel album is my absolute favorite.  I just love this record.
