Album Description

London trio Synanthesia were only together briefly, but in that time they made an album that has subsequently been hailed as a lost classic. With original copies (from 1969) changing hands for hundreds of pounds, Sunbeam is delighted to give it its first official reissue, showing it to be a great lost British acid folk gem and an absolute treat for all lovers of acid folk and psychedelia. 2005.

Easily one of my top ten psych-folk albuns !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2005-11-15

Certainly one of the most outstanding ignored albuns of all time!!! A trio from Scotland made one of most beautiful and surprisingly underrated albuns of british folk, with saxophones and vibes!!! Well, since the first song we know we are in the presence of something magical, unexpected crafted musicians, in fact the reeds/flute player, Jimmy Fraser is so inventive as he is tender, with passages of extreme brilliance, never giving a false step or a dull moment. "Trafalgar Square", for instance, is a marvellous piece of joy, in the same quality of Incredible String Band and Jethro Tull acoustic side of late sixties.
The entire album is so enduring and still sounds fresh today (incredible!). Like walking on a relaxed (and mysterious) summer afternoon, visiting a florest or a garden...and then we could use the grass for a bed and dream about mythological beings and deities...
For all interested in british-folk, acid or psych, whatever, folk in general, this is a must-be-recognized masterpiece that came in time with the masters (Incredible String Band, Fairport Convention, Pentangle) and was ahead of the second generation (Tudor Lodge, Bread Love and Dreams or Spirogyra).
Highly recommended!!!!
