Oliver "Standing Stone" (UK Folk, Blues, Acid-Rock 1974)
Recorded in 1974 on a farm in the heart of Wales. Oliver was and is a rural lunatic whom we should all cherish, a masterful musician who, in isolation, found his own way to a demented species of Country Blues and lo-key psych guitar strumming. A basic form of 'pastoral' imagery is lifted from his environment and reshuffled into threatening configurations on these darkly tinged pieces. A unique sound experience. Oliver could have been this island's answer to Captain Beefheart, but since his music has apparently had no influence anywhere, this home-made disc remains a shimmering gem of a warped vision preserved in aspic.

Think there's no point in haranguing about that.
Just thank you for this one.
