FOREST
This trio was originally known as the Foresters of Walesky. They were eventually
signed by Harvest for whom they recorded one single, Searching For Shadows
(the 'A' side is non-LP), and two albums. What at first may seem a run-of-the-mill
folk band, soon turns out to be something quite special indeed. No traditional
material is being used, and much of the magic lies in the uncommon compositions,
many of which rely on strangely sculptured melodies and partly improvised
accompaniment. Neither as malicious as Comus, nor as ironical as
Dr. Strangely Strange, Forest manage to capture one of the essentials of
British folk: closeness to the spirits of nature. Some tracks could easily
please the Pan of the British Isles himself. Their sound is
simultaneously intimate, and very wide and transparent...

RECORD EX but (please, read above description)
SLEEVE NEAR EX (please, see pictures and read above description)
...This wizardry comes out more on their first album than on the second.
Their second album is nearly as strong but their steel guitar unfortunately
soups up the sound and partly destroys its magic. A few excellent tracks
are still to be found, though, notably Hawk The Hawker,
Graveyard and Famine Song, but it lacks the consistency of its predecessor.
Naturally, it made no commercial impact whatsoever.
Nevertheless, both albums are unconditionally recommended ...(Tapestry of Delights)
