Perry Leopold - Christian Lucifer (1973)


A truly great psych folk obscurity. Lush, sprawling, heavy-lidded acoustic jams featuring cello, flutes, keyboard, hand drums, spiritually-oriented lyrical concerns, and a darker, more cerebral tone than that hippy-dippy album art suggests.

Track listing:
1. Sunday Afternoon in the Garden of Delights
2. The Windwill
3. The Starewell
4. Serpentine Lane
5. The Annunciation
6. The Journey
7. Vespers

All the clergy is weeping

  2. A masterpiece. One of the greatest and most obscure albuns of psych-folk. Beautiful, beautiful. Only the last song is mellow. Thanks for posting. You blog is an infinity treasure of great music.
