Vinyl vulture, recording artist, producer and DJ Andy Votel returns with another twenty track cross-continental compendium preaching to converts of acidic-folk, hippie-rock, loner music, folksploitation, protest peons and commune country rock from the outer-limits of the mutant folk revival of the late sixties and early seventies.

For you rare and special breed who spend countless hours rummaging through dusty attics in far-flung record shops, splurging inordinate amounts of money on eBay acquiring those elusive and pricey originals, Andy has once again delved deeper and further to bring you the best of a new bunch of unknown, underappreciated and misplaced folk pioneers.

Scores of compilations have sprung up since Volume One first caught the imagination of a fledgling revival, but none have gone so far as to scratch the surface. As weirdy-beardy scholars and dyed-in-the-wool fans endlessly debate the true meaning of 'folk', Andy has gone one better and gone straight to the source - courting the unsung heroes and originators of folk movements all over the world as well as riding the cusp of the new folk movement working with the likes of Voice of the Seven Woods and SamandthePlants as well as appearing at all of the big folk events of 2006 - including Moseley Folk Festival, Green Man and Llama.

So here it is, housed in exclusive Andy Votel artwork and sleevenotes, this is a foray into the unknown - the majority of the tracks featured are presented here for the first time on CD, and indeed in some cases for the first time ever away from their original rare-as-hen's teeth vinyl releases.

Whoever came up with the over-pretentious, collective term "Progressive Rock" couldn't have been less forward thinking. Prog rock in its truest form was not a 'restrictive' genre - it was a movement that unified ALL genres.

Forget such flamboyant cover stars such as Genesis, Yes and ELP, what of the truly progressive international rock musicians who started their own hybrid-hurricanes outside the rectangular iris of Prog's media storm? What about the unintentionally progressive musicians from the far reaches of the globe who were forced to create their own brand of psychedelic rock in a country shielded from the influence of the western world? And why don't we spare a thought (and some needle time) for the culturally progressive crusaders carrying the rock-music flag in the face of political adversity risking social ostrasization or even death?

Even though most of the 15 tracks on this compilation were recorded over 30 years ago they still individually embody a wide range of challenging progressive musical ideas which are as relevant today as they were when the vinyl first came off the press in each of their scattered countries of origin.

"Prog Is Not A Four Letter Word" is the follow-up to ANDY VOTEL (TWISTED NERVE)'s critically acclaimed "Folk Is Not A Four Letter Word" (CDDELAY01), and is out late November.

Alongside the recently resurrected (but previously unreleased) seminal scores for 'The Wickerman', 'Deathline' and 'Psychomania', Stanley Myers' 'SITTING TARGET' is another UK thriller soundtrack that has sat in the proverbial can for over 30 years while cinematic sonic-enthusiasts have had to make do with homemade bootlegs taped from second generation video tapes in hope of soundtrack amnesty...

Re-mastered from the original quarter inch reels, Finders Keepers Records present their fourth release - Sitting Target on LP & CD! Released on the 28th November 2005, and now available to pre-order from Finders Keepers Online Shop.
