Oh, very good list indeed!

Spirogyra is one of my favorite bands. I can't say it enough times,
Martin is a genius.
And next year he is releasing a big box with unrealesed stuff through
the years. Really great!

Where is Incredible String Band?
I recently saw "be glad" and it made me love the band even more.
Folk-psych, progressive folk, acid folk is always interesting.

Assuming you mean "what are they doing now?"...Robin Williamson has put
out a few CDs on ECM this decade. I have heard one called The Seed At
Zero, mostly Dylan Thomas poems set to Williamson's music, and it is
quite good. There was a brief ISB reunion (Williamson, Mike Heron and
Clive Palmer) a few years ago, and last time I checked Mike and Clive
have been continuing it minus Robin.

Masterfuly crafted dutch folk from 1976 on the Stoof label; a cross between
TREES, early PENTANGLE & SPIROGYRA, with incredible female voice. Their
second "What's in a song" from 1977 is also very recommended.

It was a warning against promiscuity from the days before antibiotics.
