Review By Gerald Van Waes, psychedelicfolk.homestead.com

 

Forest were an important psychfolk band who released two, fine albums. Classics in the genre. The style holds a bit the middle between a calm Comus and perhaps Incredible String Band.

 

Now thirty years later, Martin Welham and son Tom Welham are about to release a split 12" mini vinyl album, shared with a group called Whysp.

 

Harmony vocals on the first track reminiscent of Forest. Elsewhere the music has beautiful 60s harmony and dual vocals and acoustic guitars. All tracks have a definite and true and honest end 60s feel, without any neo-expression. On Emergency (a track with with some keyboard) where Tom [sic] sings solo his guitar style and solo vocals remind me a bit at Syd Barrett from his most sober/normal period. A recommended contribution to all 60s music fans.
