Free Music Review: Lost in its own blissfull Reverie
Hit: 5 Stars
So what can I tell you about these two albums that hasn't already been said? They are so beautiful, and deeply moving, that at points they are almost hard to listen to. These songs are filled with so much imagination, color, charm, and melancholy solitude, that they just transport you to a place between worlds! Deep into a forest between consciousness and vivid dreamscape... that's where this will take you.
I stumbled across Forest about two years ago when I was 17. At the time I knew nothing about acid folk, weird folk, whatever you want to call it... but something just intrigued me about the album. The band name, the artwork, the song titles, it all just had this vibe to it that I had been desperatly looking for. This music found me.. I didn't find it. The first time I heard Bad Penny I was brought to tears! It was so pure, and so true and so different! The way they use the instruments like paint brushes to just.. bring these landscapes and ideas to life is remarkable! The atmosphere in songs like A Glade Somewhere, Bluebell Dance, and Graveyard is so vivid and so strange but yet so familiar... it's crazy. Listening to songs like Gypsy Girl and Autumn Childhood.. you can almost see it playing out in front of you in a spectral ballet that you never want to end, and when it does you're left haunted.
I own multiple copys of these albums now, both on cd and vinyl. Forest has just become part of my being. People seem to compare them to Incredible String Band a lot, but I think Forest is another force altogether. You can certainly hear some ISB infuence here and there, but Forest hits me in ways ISB never could. You're going to think I'm crazy, but if you like the songs Solitude & Planet Caravan by Black Sabbath, I think you would really like Forest! Current bands/artists like Espers and Nick Castro (among others) are mining obscure hippy-folk for inspiration, and are creating some really amazing music. Derek Allenby (ex Forest) is still recording with a band called Southernwood, that is according to a blurb a read on a folk web page. I've found an mp3 of a song called Harvest Were You There?.. it's amazing! How bout' it amazon? Think you can find it for us? Anyway.. in case my opinion on Forest isn't clear... I love them, and chances are you didn't find this page by accident, so I highly recommend you pick this up. You won't be disappointed, I promise!
