ultra rare £3000+ serene folk inflected progressive rock, cherry red used one song from a poor
condition acetate on a recent compilation, 3 acetate copies were made in 1970, we used the
only surviving near mint lp thats owned by an ex member as source with great audio. the songs
Oakenshade and Waxing of the Moon are poetic genius, using a guitar with a damaged bridge
to create a sitar like drone, the vocals have an air of resigned melancholia, and the lyrics connect
with a mystical understanding of and reverence for nature. issued with the full co operation of
all the band, lifeblud later explored a heavier sound that sometimes hits the level of High Tide,
and we have 2 more lifeblud lps scheduled for release. housed in a gatefold sleeve with band
history, reproducing the original typed lyric sheets, and repro of the acetate labels.
