Gabriel Gladstar - A Garden Song (1981 Vinyl reissue on Flying Guitar FG 201)


This little folk psych gem has been recorded in 1973 by Gabriel Gladstar : Jim Zeiger (flute, percussion, vocals), Michael Gwinn (guitar, vocals) & Phillip Morgan (guitar, vocals).
Repressed by the original label, this second press also featured a different cover.
The music is mostly soft and delicate, trippy acoustic guitar driven male duet folk, with tons of flute.
Truly a forgotten little masterpiece !!!

There's no secret anymore: some of the finest bands and artists from Cambridge have passed through the Spaceward Studios. Snakehips is one of them. And just like Gigymen, the band met at Emmanuel College. It consists of Dave Goldberg (vocals, guitar, little plastic guitar), Mark Harrison (lead guitar, mandolin, vocals), Doug Arnold (vocals, harmonica, guitar) and Gerry Dudgeon (bass guitar on Lost Property).
