FOREST
This trio was originally known as the Foresters of Walesky. They were eventually signed by Harvest for whom they recorded one single, Searching For Shadows (the 'A' side is non-LP), and two albums. What at first may seem a run-of-the-mill folk band, soon turns out to be something quite special indeed. No traditional material is being used, and much of the magic lies in the uncommon compositions, many of which rely on strangely sculptured melodies and partly improvised accompaniment. Neither as malicious as Comus, nor as ironical as Dr. Strangely Strange, Forest manage to capture one of the essentials of British folk: closeness to the spirits of nature. Some tracks could easily please the Pan of the British Isles himself. Their sound is simultaneously intimate, and very wide and transparent..."THE FULL CIRCLE"

...This wizardry comes out more on their first album than on the second. Their second album is nearly as strong but their steel guitar unfortunately soups up the sound and partly destroys its magic. A few excellent tracks are still to be found, though, notably Hawk The Hawker, Graveyard and Famine Song, but it lacks the consistency of its predecessor. Naturally, it made no commercial impact whatsoever. Nevertheless, both albums are unconditionally recommended ...(Tapestry of Delights)
