Julian Cope presents Head Heritage

I've also been hitting up tons of gorgeous, gorgeous Italian psyche-folk albums recently. Claudio Rocchi is my favourite discovery of late. He used to be in the Rock in Opposition band Stormy Six, but his music is nothing like that. Just heady psyche-folk music that seems to try to turn itself inside out just that bit harder than most anyone else in an effort to reach the stars. Best LP I've heard probably being Essenza from '73, but most of his early stuff is great. More LP's I've played recently that'd probably make a Copey book called Woprocksampler if it existed: Opus Avantra - Introspezzione, Pierrot Lunaire - Gudren, Franco Battiato - Fetus/Pollution/Sulle Corde di Ares, Luciano Cilio - Dialoghi Del Presente, Alan Sorrenti - Aria, The Great Complotto Pordenone (not totally cosmic like the others, but a really fun Italian post-punk comp).
