"Goes deep into the international eerie underground, armed with Fender Rhodes, flute, and witches cauldron" - Bob Stanley (Saint Etienne - Gather In The Mushrooms)

"It's true! Folk is not a 4 letter word, it has 23 letters and spells BUY THIS RECORD AND GET LAID!" - Gruff Rhys (Super Furry Animals)

"Lovely stuff" - The Observer Music Monthly

"For those of you who are too lazy to rock, Andy Votel salutes you. Psychedelic scholar, hip-hop DJ and Badly Drawn Boy producer Andy Votel has come from the 114th Battalion of Obscuro-Record-Collector World to produce a compilation that is strictly 'rock in opposition'. In other words it's for those who are too lazy to rock to the latest Interpol sound-u-like bands. Yes, this is a compilation of folk music, but it goes beyond folk and all is not patchouli-scented-whimsy. Showcasing his fetish for female singers who sound like the lounge act from The Poseidon Adventure (from smoky voodoo jazz of Kathy Smith to the yeh-yeh pop of Brigitte Fontaine), Votel breaks the genre barriers at lightspeed. Is it acid-folk? Wyrd-folk? Freakout-folk? Breakout's 'Warm Up My Lips' is all wah-wah and bugged-out funk-folk that grooves like the last intergalactic disco at the Wicker Man school disco. Dazzling." - NME - 8/10

"Lost nuggets from the frontiers of folk-fusion: Twisted Nerve mainman Andy Votel, the record collector's record collector, must have had a blast compiling this little beauty. Featuring all-original material cribbed from his own collection and elsewhere, this is a snapshot of underground 70's folk-fusion from around the world that is both a collector's dream and a damn fine listen. Narcissistic cabaret rants from Gainsbourg collaborator Brigitte Fontaine, uncompromising bluesbeat madness from the Polish combo Breakout and some textbook bubblegum-folk from The Poppy Family, give you some idea of the depth of Votel's investigations, and indeed it's a beautiful gossamer thread that hangs these disparate tracks together. There are some slightly better known moments: Bonnie Koloc's 'My Aunt Edna', which may classify as the first drum 'n' folk record ever, is great fun, as is The Roundtable's take on Scarborough Fair. Well researched, with richly descriptive sleevenotes from Votel, this is a really great idea from a fledgling label that would do well to follow this... what's that you say? Prog isn't a four letter word either? This one could run and run." - Record Collector - 4/5

"This compilation... is on Delay 68, a division of Cherry Red, and linked to Finders Keepers, itself an offshoot of Twisted Nerve. To make matters more confusing, it's examples of a genre called, depending on taste, folk-funk, acid-folk or folksploitation. But unless you spend your life at record fairs, it's doubtful you'll have heard folk like this before. This is folk with its gloves off and its finger defiantly out of its ear. Kathy Smith's 'It's Taking So Long' has a deeply funky bass and keyboard line (and features a pre-Miami Vice Jan Hammer on Fender Rhodes) while 'Warm Up My Lips' - by Polish combo Breakout - wouldn't be out of place on a David Holmes soundtrack. Folking good." - City Life - 9/10

"Wyrd-folk music from 30 years ago - it's the new rock 'n' roll. It's very now. For what's ostensibly a gentle psych folk comp, this gets weird and it gets funky." - Rip & Burn - 5/5
