Often compared with The Incredible String Band, with whom they share the opportunism and their wilful approach to folk-music, this band managed to deliver two completely unique albums in a style of their own. The attitude towards making music is an altogether spontaneous one, which makes for both hilarious mistakes (not mixed away in the control-room, of course) and highly inventive half-improvised parts.The music is acoustic throughout, almost amateurish, but continuously charming. This second album gives more of the same, but this time augmented with sharpness and a 'rock' feel, due to the powerful drumming of Dave Mattacks (who sometimes can hardly keep order among the players) and incisive guitar soloing by the very young Gary Moore. Outstanding track is the 8 minute 34 seconds Sign On My Mind, with great melodies which are delivered with confidence. Original pressings of this album come on the Vertigo swirl label in an elaborate gatefold sleeve.Definitely worth a try, if you like psych which is close to nature and 'elevates' you without using any technical equipment to reach this aim. ...(Tapestry of Delights)
