    Sounds as bad as it looks - but given Mike Batt's work with XTC and David Essex I can forgive him.

    Dark-Around the Edges is also up there

    I think the Oberon is rarer than both of these.

    If I'm not mistaken, this was a low-key, privately pressed affair, so that's probably why it sounds out of step with the times - in a good way, of course.

    Another very good, late-period UK folk-rock album is Caedmon, also fairly obscure:

    A bit more psych...shoot,,this thread is gonna cost me money.

    I'm a sucker for minor key guitar, female vocal and gothic overtones.

    While the dreamy quality of the released take is fantastic, I also love the early, more up-tempo version of "Sheep Season," found here at 6:38:



    Even though it has no drums, it's still so percussive... And the piano playing is great throughout, especially in the outro.

    I found one record from a psych band ...me and a friend were only able to find 10 copies...that's all that were left. The name of the band was Feather De Gamba. It had a cool "Ant Trip Ceremony" vibe to it.
