^ Of course, Grindy - I´m no genre-nazi! If you´re interested,here are a couple of opinions about this album:- http://www.musicbanter.com/country-f...-thompson.html

What is your own verdict on it?

That Biota track has a strange atmosphere. Thanks.

My turn to be predicatable, by choosing something by those one-time darlings of progfolk, Gryphon. This is from their 2009 re-union tour; a faultless recreation of a track from their 1973 self-titled debute album:-

Glad to see it got some recognition here.
I really like it. I'm not a folk fan, but it's weird melodies really make it stand out. His singing being somewhat askew also adds to my enjoyment. Really prefer something like that to more standard vocal styles, which I often find cheesy.


I suppose this is kinda folky, although it's a little too electric at times.
