Long awaiting to find its due place in the pantheon of 60s and 70s European progfolk, acid folk and psych folk gems that have been mushrooming over the recent years, Full Moon’s first release, Moon Fools, is finally brought back to life. Originally released in 1976, as a limited private pressing of 500 copies that were mostly sold in gigs, Moon Fools is a never-ending journey to the East, a constant interplay between darkness and light, in quest for musical illumination. Foregrounded by an instrumental dialogue between Johannes Luttik’s (guitar) unique mannerism and Lucas Amor’s (R.I.P) tantalizingly weeping violin, a mesmerizing tapestry unravels from start to finish. Every second is like a chronotope that combines Johannes’ memoirs from his musical expeditions in India, with Lucas’ travels to the Middle-East. Driven by Norman Halsall’s slowly, yet seethingly climaxing tablas/bongos, the compositions alternate between utmost lyricism and free-floating jams.

Moon Fools is reissued by PQR-Disques plusqueréel, fully remastered, in a limited, collectors’ only vinyl edition of 200 copies, and includes exclusively a cd with the previously unreleased album Eternal Rhythm (recorded in 1976).

PQR-Disques plusqueréel is a record label from and for collectors, specializing in limited edition, added-value reissues and original releases from progressive rock, psychedelic and folk bands.

The album’s musical merit is hardly contestable. Although largely composed in the typically French symphonic prog vein, it is no stranger to hard prog and psychedelia, with fuzzed out guitar solos in constant dialogue with escalating moog assaults. This largely instrumental album was originally released on the DIY label DMR (Philippe de Magnée Recordings, the group’s producer and me

1st VINYL REISSUE ROY RUTANEN – ROY RUTANEN

1st VINYL REISSUE ROY RUTANEN – ROY RUTANEN Forma t : Vi n y l LP (180 g r ., with 2-page color insert ) Other specifications: Strictly limited pressing of 500 hand-numbered copies in 2 colors (300 black, 200 gold vinyl) C a t. no : PQR027 https://pqr-disquesplusquerel.bandcamp.com/album/roy-rutanen File nearby: Perry Leopold, Byrds, Abstract Truth, Kenny Rogers & The First Edition, Meic Stevens Roy Rutanen’s self-titled album has remained a best-kept secret among psychedelia and acid-folk collectors ever since its original release in 1971. What could have been the solid foundation for a promising career in the music industry was abandoned due to the lack of label support, subsequently surviving as a one-off museum piece, accessible to a select few who can afford the price commanded for original copies. This is the time for Roy’s music to shine through with his unique combination of moody acoustic bliss and acid-drenched solos, all of which are epitomized in the Trip

A precursor to the by now more well-known and equally outstanding space-rock formation NYL, Cheval Fou’s salvaged recordings are a testament to the purest made-in-Europe free-form, freak-out psychedelia. Just picture an amalgamation between Group 1850’s Agemo and Amon Duul’s Phallus Dei, with Dashiel Hedayatt dropping in for a quick jam,
