Monsters of Folk - Monsters Of Folk - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Seelie Court - the world's premier tag for rare and previously unreleased archive recordings of underground folk, rock, proto-metal, and psychedelic music presents Rainbird. This extremely rare Rainbird LP has only been heard by a few people, managing to escape internet uploads until 2022. Of the 200 privately issued, it's thought that most were destroyed in the early '70s. The wrong cover - a terrible concoction of the Printer's was used on the LP, but luckily a Poster was recently found with the gorgeously Psychedelic original LP design which is reinstated on this edition. Rainbird's music is a willfully indulgent and eccentric dreamlike Progressive Rock, swathed in hypnotic flute, sometimes reminiscent of the Moody Blues' more introspective moments. Many thanks to Pauline Alden, Sue Collins and Duncan Fox, without whom this album would not have happened. Thanks also to Colin Roberts, Tim Payne, Steve Degoutis, Charlotte Mackie, Jane Hoskins, Biffin, The Gillings, Jane MC Grath, Bophus, Elis Phekhenen, Jon Rutt, Dick and Chris Munn, Hedgehog, Drayton Steve Razz of the Worthy Farmers, Rick and Sue of the Swindon Wheelers, Dave of Treebeard, and to everyone who helps out by buying a copy. Apologies to Davin of The Third Path for lyrical changes in 'Stormdance' parts one and two.

The Contemporary Folk were a popular folk quartet from the Minneapolis area during the folk boom of the early 1960's. They developed a nice reputation at popular clubs like the legendary Padded Cell and were soon playing major folk clubs around the country including the Troubadour in Hollywood and the Ice Palace in Pasadena. The group consisted of Dick Winther, Jerry Longie, Ed Knutson and Jerry Goodge. In 1963 they recorded this classic representation of the Minnesota folk scene at Kay Bank studios in Minneapolis. All selections newly remastered.

Duft - Altar Of Instant Gratification - Ice cold metalcore brutality. The merciless Duft's debut album showcases relentless musicianship amidst the calculated chaos of crushing metallic riffs, frantic tempos, punishing breakdowns and the lyrical rage of hardcore punk. The main theme of the Reykjavik's band is the ever present feeling that Planet Earth is falling to pieces most people are too busy in childish pursuits of instant gratifications and avoiding pain to embrace the fact that the world has become a bleak hardcore place! To strive in it, you must be willing to show courage, think critically for yourself and don't buy into dogmatic truths - old yourself accountable and stay true. This ain't no record for fainted hearts, indeed.
