"Oh, it's the old forgotten question
What is it that we are part of?
And what is it that we are?"
-Incredible String Band
This is a transporting mix of mostly psychedelic folk and pop, mostly (17 of 24 tracks) from the exquisite 5-year psychedelic golden age of 1967-1972. Lovely, charming, and mellow; uncommon selections; mostly bands from the U.K. and U.S.A.

Artists include: The Troggs, The Yardbirds, Allen Toussaint, The Roches, The Mamas & The Papas, John Cale, Ophiucus, Slapp Happy, The Tree People, These Trails, Heron, Kevin Ayers, Harry Nilsson, The Millennium, Incredible String Band, Parchment, Tyrannosaurus Rex, The Fallen Angels, C.O.B., The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band, The Pretty Things, Weird Herald, Captain Beefheart And The Magic Band, and Harumi.

Perfect for a dark and wet holiday Monday. Some unfamiliar tracks from familiar names along with old favourites from Cale, Captain Beefheart, ISB and Slapp Happy, and a few artists who are totally new to me:) Cheers! S.
