<?xml:namespace prefix = st2 /><?xml:namespace prefix = st1 />George Figgs & Ben Syfu - Boa Constrictor & A Natural Vine
This is the monster rare, impossible to find UK original pressing with laminated cover from 1968 on Vanguard Apostolic, Catalogue No. SVRL 19042.
This little known gem was the only record that this psych-folk duo ever recorded for Vanguard Apostolic. It has all the elements one looks for in that genre and few others as well. There are some really deranged, acid-drenched compositions like Devil & the Ace of Spades (with its backward tape loops, mournful sax, and downer guitar strumming) as well as dissonant, freaky, rocking, blues numbers like Time is Money. Their music, while it owes something to other folk-experimentalists from the late 60s is also inspired by classic, country blues and at times they come off as a sort of hippie ancestor of garage-blues-rock duos like the Bassholes or Black Keys.
