Forest - 1969 - Forest

Forest were a trio of hippie musicians (Martin, Dez, and Adrian) from the town of Walesby in Lincolnshire. All three of 'em are responsible for the quite excellent male vocals that help make their albums the amazing lost treasures they are, along with their strong songwriting, and their adept and varied instrumental backing (mostly acoustic, with guitars, harmonium, mandolin, pipes, cello, electric harpsichord, organ, percussion, etc.)...But, while 'folky,' this is by no means trad folk; they are down with prog rock moves that remind us as much of Pink Floyd as the Incredible String Band.

Awesome album that I've had downloaded for a while but lately can't stop listening to.

Two tracks:

A Glade Somewhere

Do You Want Some Smoke?

 

[Krilons Resa]

Suhweet! Nice album cover art. DL right now!

This sounds like something that IoTS would be into as well, if he isnt already.

 

[Krilons Resa]

How the fuck do I dl this shit?! It says click on link, but there is no link!

edit: nevermind.

 

[Demilich]

I just thought of that. He probably is.

The vocal harmonies really seal the deal on this album.
From what I read, their other album, Full Circle (which also has cool painted cover-art) is darker and would probably kick all kinds of ass too.

You select a download site to get it from and click on the link of it's name.
That way you have options. Variety is the spice of life, and all that jazz.

Direct links in cause you suck.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Godamnit Matt. You got me all excited for nothing.

 

[Demilich]

That means you don't like it or it didn't work?

 

[Krilons Resa]

I wasn't a fan. Although, I shall definitely save it and listen to it when Im more in "the mood."

 

[JayKeeley]

*downloading*

 

[Reign in Acai]

I wasn't feeling it either, nice cover art though.

 

[swizzlenuts]

Fuck you Matt, I still haven't listened to all that rock you gave me while you were here, except Comus. Too much stuff.

 

[Demilich]

Well if you listen to this and like it, at least my thread won't be a total waste of time!


Rock/folk/psych/prog > most metal

 

[Nico]

I didn't dig this either. Titan, on the other hand, ruled my nuts. So thanks.

 

[Demilich]

you all suck a lot

 

[NAD]

Okay I can't figure this shit out. Moving on to Megaupchode...

 

[NAD]

Wait, did you ever listen to Swans yet? I'm not going to click on 40 links to get 1/2 an mp3 until you do.

 

[IOfTheStorm]

you all suck a lot

Yes you do, this is perfect.

 

[NAD]

This is pretty okay. The second song much better than the first. Is this shit readily available for purchase? I might, if so.

Rock/folk/psych/prog > most metal

Strawbs rules, not sure if it falls under that though.

Aquarius Records has it for sure (I think).
I knew you might be gay enough to like it.
I listen to it almost every day now, as well as their 1970 album Full Circle.


Full Circle (1970):
