BARAFUNDLE (LIMITED JUNGLE SWIRL VINYL EDITION)

Having countryman John Cale label your first-ever commercial release 'his favourite album ever' is about as good a start as a Welsh rock band could hope for. And after several subsequent, critically-acclaimed albums on the Ankst label, Gorky''''s Zygotic Mynci caught the attention of a major label (Fontana) and released this 1997 psych-folk masterpiece. Two singles resulted, both charting: the gently rocking 'Diamond Dew' and the twisted pop ditty 'Patio Song,' but Barafundle is above all an ALBUM, taking you on a benevolently bent journey akin to the Small Faces'''' Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake, which is high praise indeed. For its first-ever domestic LP release, we''''re pressing up 2000 copies in jungle swirl vinyl, housed inside a jacket with printed inner sleeve. Put a log on the fire, brew up some mushroom tea, and bliss out.
