    "The Christ Tree" 1975 (Pomegranate 001)  [lyrics insert] 

        Quite extraordinary religious progressive folk album that moves across time and space in a C.O.B-like manner yet never misses the beat. Dominated by three extended mindblowers that bring in deep Search Party brooding, Indian and Japanese instruments, advanced choral experiments, bells, gongs, hippie commune vibes, you name it; the shorter tracks are less eclectic and more traditionally catholic-liturgical. The constant motion from a good idea to an even better idea reminds me of the first Perth County Conspiracy album, if you imagine that one being about Christ instead of Shakespeare. A deeply spiritual feel emerges, yet the massive influx of ideas spells pure psychedelia for acidhead seekers. On the IQ scale this one's way up there. Personal fave, recommended to fans of Search Party, Extradition, Book Of Am and similar monastery head trips. The band was based in NYC but travelled a lot and had a second base in New Mexico. [PL]
