"Deluxe vinyl issue, 2x180 gram vinyl + extra 7" featuring three so-far unreleased exclusive tracks! West Coast psychedelic folkie currently making some of the most dynamic and truly original sounds to emerge from the new freak-folk movement. Gracefully immersing '60s/'70s UK acid balladry with Middle Eastern traditional music and communal jams. Castro succeeds in reaching otherworldly vistas and ocean-spanning folk transcendence. He assembled a new band, The Young Elders, a truly stellar cast of musicians who played in folk and avant rock ensembles like Current 93, In Gowan Ring, Cul De Sac and Damo Suzuki's Network performing together on an East-meets-West melting pot of instrumentation from acoustic guitar to Celtic harp to Moroccan tabla to nyabinghi drum. A mixing of folk ballads, psychedelic folk rock, Middle Eastern traditional music and Bay Area acid-raga. The result being astonishing, challenging and utterly psychedelic. A modern acid folk masterpiece." CD version of this is on Strange Attractors.
