Gandharva Cosmic Sounds Of Gandharva " Energy" 1977 US Private Cosmic Trance,psych folk.
Rare California Private Press trippy dark Psychedelic Folk with strong moody echoey vocals, Tablas, Guitar and freaky Violin..
Cosmic trance/meditation folk. "Energy" is not bad for the genre; a moody echoey soundscape and slightly eerie vibe rather than starry-eyed peace & love ramblings. Acoustic guitars, deep vocals, semi-improvised jammy songs with some crude sound experiments; imagine the Acid Symphony guys 10 years down the line. Brief spoken bit featuring a phony-sounding Indian guru.

Great private press eastern mystical acidfolk jewel. way deeper/darker than the average ssw private press. twisted mantric lyrics, with amazing use of the acoustic guitar, plus bells, violin, etc. seriously unusual & psychedelic.

Still one of the most highly rated titles in the mystical Eastern '70s commune style, due not least to its unique, slightly eerie mood. Far removed from any squishy new age, this is as spooky as the great Children Of One LP, while still retaining basic song structures and melodies. A good one even if you have no interest in this style -- not hippie-folk but eerie psychedelic late-night meditation folkrock.
