Also contains an amazing version of "Sounds of Silence".
Their album (except the 2 last tracks - recorded with a choir) is very consistent.

Erik Britton - The Troll (Amazing 1980 US Private Outsider Psych Folk LP)

Erik Britton's sound can only be described as "demented troubador," just his intense voice and a frantic 12-string guitar.

"If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away."
(... Henry David Thoreau)
I have always heard a different drummer. I have always travelled my own road. And now I find the drummer is myself. The music that I hear is at last my own. Can you hear it ?
(notes from the back cover)

Very great one-side long song (15'20") on the A side : "The Troll"

Martin McBain - Winter on the Harbour + 2 singles (Amazing 1983 Australian Psych Folk LP on Candle)

Original pressing on the small Tasmanian independent label, Candle Records, from 1983.
This is truly a little gem.
It shoots virtually to the top of the list of Australian 70's-ish acoustic acid folk LPs.

A stunning LP in my opinion !

 I'll add his two singles from 1983 and 1985 !

His 7" single from 1983.
The 'A' side is a song from his LP, "Winter...On The Harbour", but is a totally different recorded version.
Whereas the LP version is strictly acoustic, this version sees him with full band, still very folk-y and ethereal though.
The 'B' side was, at the time, a totally new song and is equally as good. Both sides are full of melody, with gorgeous melodious vocals, and superb lyrics - of the ilk of mid-'60's Dylan ... he was obviously a thinker.

His 7" single from 1986.
Another little gem ...
