One warning: if you don't like Joni Mitchell, don't go anywhere near this album!
Here are those three tracks I mentioned:

If you don't mind me chipping in here I think it's a superb album, but comes more from Joni Mitchell school of acoustic singer songwriter music, albeit psychedelicized. She's also got a gorgeous voice although some might find it a bit syrupy in places, reminds me a tad of Karen Carpenter in places, but that's not a problem with me as I like her voice anyway. Definitely worth getting hold of, but even more so is an album that often gets compared to Parallelograms that being These Trails' sole self-titled debut, which is a weird blend of psych folk, Arp synth and Hawaiian styling, an amazing must-hear album but nowt like Linda Perhacs imho.

Linda Perhacs is pretty great. I think one good description would be irridescent. It seems to shimmer as though evverything were played through an echoplex or something.
So comparisons to Mellow Candle would be somewhat misleading.
I haven't heard the Sunbeam version of the recording, think that's the current most widely available. Version i have is the one the guy who rediscovered her put out once he got the mastertapes from her. Think he'd put out an earlier version that he'd had to needledrop. she had gone into obscurity almost immediately after the release and I think she was a dental nurse for years. think his original released version had had contact details for him should anybody know anything about her whereabouts. So she got in contact with him and a far superior version was released.
I assume the Sunbeam version is based on that, though they may have remastered it themselves.
A comparison being made at the time of the remastered release was to Hawaiian commune group These Trails. I'm not familiar with that recording though.

Malicorne - Le Marriage Anglais (Malicorne 2)
There's been a lot of Malicorne & related material turning up on Dime recently. Think it's later 70s Malicorne and a reunion tour by Gilbert Yacoub and one other.
There was also a 1/2 hr video set by Alain Stivell from Cork in '78.
Oddest thing I found related to this stuf was the bassist from AMT slipping into what sounded very similar between numbers when they played live here 2 years back. Isn't La Nova based on similar melodies too?

Gonjasufi - A Sufi & a Killer
got that from Demonoid last week. Think it described it as arabic surf music but it gets a bit weirder than that very trippy in places. Wasn't sure when it was from though. Bits sound like they're contemporary and others pretty early 70s.

Also how is the new Black Angels?
I can't top the advice already given really. I really like it though but check out that youtube video of the song Parallelograms - if you like that then the rest of the album is nearly as good, with a few absolute nuggets on it.

I guess Phosphene Dream is the new one but isn't out yet...
Aye, I'm getting in the mood for Phosphene Dreams going on presale, as I'm chomping for the new one. Directions to See a Ghost will be on the stereo later (if I can just unglue the Blitzen Trapper CD from it).
Peace & Love buddy

My idea of heaven that, drinking my favourite beverage in one of my favourite British cities, bliss! Should they be represented there keep an eye out for Thornbridge and Allendale brewery's Kipling and Wolf respectively, two of my very favourite tipples that I really couldn't recommend higher.
