It's quite easy to notice they have listened a lot to Mahavisnu Orchestra. Talented musicianship and nevertheless the obvious mahavisnu influence it is not only copying but quite original too. There are the two first Finnforest's albums on the 2-Cd. The only Finnforest cut i could find on utube is a more laid back live from 1977 going a bit to direction of Weather Report style maybe and not on these two albums. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbP3X5426j4

Orphan - Rock and Reflection (1973 London)
A harmless bag of rural based rock-pop-ballads from Boston. This is not quite my music, but i can though understand those who like this. Vocalist on some songs sounds a bit like Rod Stewart.

Neighb'rhoods Childr'n - S/T (1968 Acta re Sundazed 2011)
Again: NC proves to be even better, much better than i got when listened it first time. It is easy... it's a flow...rafting...they take chances...it is all chances and they make it. Maybe you can't step two times in the same flow. NC is proving to be the kind of thing that will inevitably grow on you. Patterns: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpDczXjM810&feature=related

The Little Boy Blues - In The Woodland Of Weir (1968 Fontana)
Fear Itself - S/T (1969 DOT)
This is music for your third ear. If you don't happen to have it, there's probably nothing for you on this album. I have known about the third ear of mine for some time and this record removes all the rest wax maybe left in there and gets it wide open. I love Ellen McIlwaine's voice and how she uses it. It works a bit same way as Sandy Hurvitz's. I have tried to imagine what the ultimate psychedelic album for my third ear would sound like... On this album Sandy H meets Hapshash & The Coloured Coat, delivering Fear Itself and the best blues-based psychedelic sound i could imagine.

Justen O'Brien & Jake - Time Will Tell (1978 re 2010)
Kensington Market - Avenue Road (1968 WB)
Well thought and nice harmony pop with some psych nuances especially on "Looking Glass". You should not cradle yourself to some one-sided illusion of snow, light flakes floating down , melting away as they reach you hair and the ground. I'm not sure if the jacket art is meant to tell it, but it helps me think that "Avenue Road" is like snow, light on the other hand but deep and powerful when flocked together.

Cat - A New Kind of Cat (1970 RCA)
At Discogs this is characterized as psychedelic rock. Hmm... Quite nice light pop anyway. There's a lot more info behind this utube link: Light Of Love: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3qelN9px5Q

Brethren - S/T (1970 Tiffany Records)
Quite nice, laid back and well played bluesy country-gospel. The best piece on the album, "Success Brand Oil" would be the main reason for pickin this up. If there just were more music like this groovy, jammy and a bit psych-tinged "Success Brand Oil"... Nice guitar work and Rick Marotta sounds in places almost like Billy Cobham. Most of the songs are written by guitarist Tom Gosgrove. "Just To Be There" is by one of my favorite keyboardists (not a memeber of this group) Mark "Moogy" Klingman, who unfortunately passed away on November this year. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPeLKGK2uW8 Tom Cosgrove, Stu Woods, Rick Marotta, Mike Garson + Dr. John and Rusty Young. Tight set.
