The Pentangle

Thanks for posting that. I think I've seen parts of it but not the whole thing together. They look like such weirdo scuzzoids. I want to just smoke a j and sit on the floor of the studio and let it wash over me.

Absolutely incredible band - I put them up there with my all-time favorites.

That rhythm section can just do anything. The jazzy swing in Reflection is something a lot of other folk bands didn't have in their repertoire.

I recently (finally) found my way into this band when I heard the Cox/Thompson interplay on "Reflection"

Yah! You can still get their records for sort of cheap, at least you could in 2018-2020.

Also good live footage on YouTube is the Set of Six performances to promote Solomon's Seal. Seeing the “Willy O’Winsbury” from that for the first time – I knew nothing of Pentangle before – is one of those few musical memories that will be forever etched in my mind.

YES that "Willy O'Winsbury" is so gorgeous.

I recently watched The Ballad of Tam Lin, very odd verging-on-folk horror movie that they did the soundtrack for, worth a watch imo!

I'm going to have to check that out.

Yes, their records are still pretty cheap — sometimes very cheap if you look hard enough. You should be able to get at the very least Cruel Sister for $5 or less. The other ones for $10-20 generally.
