3CD – UK Import

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.

Housed in a 3 CD digipack in a striking wraparound collage by Lyndon Pike.

Celebrating the collision of traditional folk with new psychedelic studio techniques, new and exotic textures, and a developing groove. It’s a wide and broad range of styles, drawing from folk, its oral storytelling tradition, and also from jazz, beat, rhythm and blues, and the more mind opening sounds of psychedelia.
