lang'syne

Langsyne from Barmen (Bergisches land region) in Germany played a subtle kind of psych-folk with a wide range of partly unusual, exotic and medieval instruments: sitar, psaltery, koto, glockenspiel, flute, etc. Especially remarkable is the instinctive assurance with which the three musicians, who understood each other without words, played their music together. Their only LP was released as a very small edition of only 200 copies in 1976. It is today the second most expensive "Deutschrock-LP" (close on the heels of the first edition of Cans 'Monster Movie'). Original copies nowadays fetch more than 1000 EUR. The reissues on Lost Pipedreams and Rebirth are not available any more. Therefore this new edition on Garden Of Delights is now available, with one bonus track. The four-page insert (LP size) provides a detailed band history in German and English, the English song lyrics with German translation, discography, label repros, etc."
