Folloing title is added at recommend section by JeremyV in May 30

Wonderful discovery. Canadian acid-folk based band - their sophomore release from 2008 with special guest vocal from Mellow Candle's Alison O'Donnell on the amazing track "Sleep of Ondine" (which sounds like a "Swaddling Songs" outtake). Terrific diversity - classical and early music influences abound; a hint of Mellow Candle and Trees influence here and there. Some lovely arrangements with strings and even a consort of recorders on "The Enclave". Even a touch of heavy metal riffing on the dark tale "Glass Petals". Male and female vocals throughout, final track is gorgeous instrumental. Just a lovely album. Read about it on Ptolemaic Terrascope website. /
I couldn't post available CD at that tiime.
But today, I received e-mail from band member Kevin Scott himself.

I play in a psych-folk band called Mr. Pine. I discovered that someone posted a link to our 2008 album on your recommendations page - and this is completely OK with us! We would be very happy if you decided to share the album on your website. We worked with Alison O'Donnell from Mellow Candle and we are very proud of that.
What a great website you have. I wish you the best of luck with it.

Didn't expect too much, to be quite honest. But this album is amazingly good. I urge everyone to have a listen - or rather, several ...
Chatted with Kevin Scott from the band through email...the CD is a private and limited pressing so I bought two copies! Apparently it did quite well on college radio in Canada.
I agree, just a flabbergastingly good album. So nice to see psych folk alive and well in new bands.
this album is really good, it´s difficult to find bands like this nowadays, thanks for posting this. Great blog
Very surprised. A thoroughly rewarding album and the songwriting is masterful. If it was a late 60's early 70's release it would be $$$$$$$$$
I liked this album so much that I went and bought their earlier album The Gift of Wolves. Also a good album but not quite as good as Rewinding. I am glad to see that Mr. Pine has found distribution through this blog to have value and has likely given them a good boost in sales.
Happy to announce Mr. Pine is alive and well and have embarked on a third CD. More details soon!
