In 1969 Sunforest released their first and only album; Sound Of Sunforest. The record is not exactly fantastic, but there are some oustanding tracks on it.
One of them is the first track "Overture to the Sun", which was a part of the soundtrack for Stanley Kubrick's film 'A Clockwork Orange'.
This track in particularly sounds like something that could have been made in the Renaissance with harp, cembalo, lute, and some kind of wind instrument, which I can not recall the name of. Most of the album is naive psych-folk pop and the lyrcis aren't exactly great. But who listens to lyrics, anyway?
The other track that really stands out is "Magician in the Mountain". The sound of folk is intact, but the record gets a touch of Funk to it with this track. Trompets, flute, and nice guitar riffs make a cool funk vibe that most black musicians would envy.
Do not expect this album to blow you away, but give it a try if you like naive folk-pop with at twist of Renaissance.
