...because it deserves it's own thread, godamnit. This is some of the best pyschedelic, folk, twisted, dark, out there, prog, you name it album I have ever heard. I have been hooked on it for the past few months actually. I am not sure if many of you are familiar with it, but it RULES. Sure to appeal to someone like NAD, I suppose. I'm going to upload "Drip, Drip" in a couple hours for anyone eager enough to hear it. Also, has some of the best lyrics ever. It's where Opeth got the term "My arms, your hearse" from. And to think that this came out in 1970!!!! WTF!? 
Another one from back in the day I have been listening to a lot lately as well is Flower Travellin' Band. They are fucking amazing. Their guitarist blows everyone away from the early 70's imho.
This doublegate digi kicks ass.
"The Comus album First Utterance is a black light at the heart of British Folk music. Turning it's back on the amber glow of most prog-rock, it spins instead in altogether darker holes, taking nature at face value and succumbing to the rule of the claw. For Comus, the woods are full of Silent Hill dwarves, skipping and stabbing and sending steaming coils of blood and guts and dirty magic into the air.
The violins scrape at your insides, the shakers sound like rattling teeth and drums like a dozen trepanned skulls. They play thrash metal and drone-rock on acoustic guitars, strumming until their fingers bleed while Roger Wooton's possessed vocals rise further and further into some primal lycanthropic ecstasy. The la la las sound like the dying breaths of the sick and the insane, clambering in human pyramids to get back into the sun.
You know this guys eyebrows meet in the middle
There is music in here that is undeniably beautiful but it's all suffused with dirt and suffering and deep Cthonic evil. You can hear the Wicker Men flaring, the Gods walking around with huge spent cocks, the maenads tearing each other to pieces in Dionysic frenzy."
