Dublin Trinity College students Dr Strangely Strange’s 1969 debut Kip Of The Serenes is a whimsical acoustic hippy record in the vein of The Incredible String Band. 1970’s Heavy Petting, re-released with extra tracks, featured the psychedelic blues licks of future Thin Lizzy guitarist Gary Moore, making for a cautious but compelling hybrid of fragile folk forms and more muscular rock moves.
The lengthy Sign Of My Mind, with both a tentative first effort, and the strident second take, included here, is a slowly uncoiling acid-folk classic, rivaling Fairport’s A Sailor’s Life and Trees’ Sally Free And Easy.
