London trio Synanthesia were only together briefly, but in that time they made an album that has subsequently been hailed as a lost classic. With original copies (from 1969) changing hands for hundreds of pounds, Sunbeam is delighted to give it its first proper reissue, showing it to be a great lost British acid folk gem and a feast for lovers of acid folk and psychedelia.

'A mixture of delicate acoustic guitar, fluttering flute and shimmering vibraphone gives the music a distant, late night quality. If you can imagine Pentangle and the Modern Jazz Quartet playing Tudor jazz together, it may have sounded like this - a unique album' - theunbrokencircle.co.uk

'Memorable songs are set to vibes, oboe and saxophone, which lend an uniquely jazzy flavour to proceedings' - Record Collector
