-> Twisted Nerve Rec.Sam and the Plants : EP1 & EP2 -vinyl-(UK,2006)****
This group’s demo sounds like a Wicker Man kind of film remake soundtrack done by Tea & Symphony or an Incredible String Band kind of group with mostly Syd Barrett clones as members and compiled with lots of small fragments of almost visualising melodic ideas, like one big colourful patchwork. Definitely made with joy for music and life. Many, many instruments were used, often played in a rather psychedelic way, but always compiled with a clear head. Some music fragments are experimental electronica, but I also even heard a stringed arrangement somewhere. Most parts have the ‘60s Barrett flavours, even mixed with found sounds and PC patchwork. Brilliant stuff that deserves a real release.
Especially the three longer tracks as outtakes which contain longer improvised and more serious, moody and spherical passages of psychfolk and a few slightly experimental explorations, with acoustic (and amplified and fuzzed) guitars, flute, harmonica, songs snippets, bits of electronic keyboards, glockenspiel, going mostly completely into the mood of it, and with some occasional, differently styled ideas.
Update : 2 EP's were made from these demo's. I luckily found one of both. (covers are included)
