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 3xCD 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.
