Follow up to the 2022 release ‘Deep In The Woods’ (curated by Richard Norris (Beyond The Wizards Sleeve/The Grid)
The sequel, ‘The Magic Forest’ is another triple CD set assembling rare cuts and cult favourites from the worlds of psychedelic, pastoral and funky folk from 1968-1975.
Boasting some overlooked gems from long collectable acts such as Mellow Candle, Forest, Agincourt, Knocker Jungle, Zior and many more.
Housed in a 3 CD digipack in a striking wraparound collage by Lyndon Pike.
Celebrating the collision of traditional folk with new psychedelic studio techniques, new and exotic textures, and a developing groove. It's a wide and broad range of styles, drawing from folk, its oral storytelling tradition, and also from jazz, beat, rhythm and blues, and the more mind opening sounds of psychedelia.
