Haven'y had any psych / acid folk in a while. Here's the debut by Tir Na Nog; progressive Irish folk and one of the originators of the alternate folk movement. 

I was listening to this while working on a project concerning the Lammas Night Laments series. Hopefully that will see fruition in the next few months.

14 Countdown to Nowhere

During the initial lockdown of March to June 2020, I embarked on several film seasons; some with friends, some alone.

One of the most fun was the films of Jess Franco, specifically with the late actress Soledad Miranda.

While watching the seminal 1970 classic 'Vampiros Lesbos', I remembered how wonderful the soundtrack by Manfred Hubler and Sigi Schwab was.

Parts of the soundtrack were used in other Franco films, notably 'She Killed In Ecstasy' and 'Eugenie de Sade'.

The soundtrack wasn't issued at the time of the films release and this Crippled Dick Hot Wax pressing comes from 1995.
