  • 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.

Celebrating the collision of traditional folk with new psychedelic studio techniques, new and exotic textures, and a developing groove.
