Rob Young investigates how the idea of folk has been handed down
and transformed by successive generations - song collectors,
composers, Marxist revivalists, folk-rockers, psychedelic voyagers,
free festival-goers, experimental pop stars and electronic
innovators. In a sweeping panorama of Albion's soundscape that
takes in the pioneer spirit of Cecil Sharp, the pastoral classicism
of Ralph Vaughan Williams and Peter Warlock, the industrial folk
revival of Ewan MacColl and A. L.Lloyd, the folk-rock of Fairport
Convention, Sandy Denny, Nick Drake, Shirley Collins, John Martyn
and Pentangle, the bucolic psychedelia of The Incredible String
Band, The Beatles and Pink Floyd, the acid folk of Comus, Forest,
Mr Fox and Trees, The Wicker Man and occult folklore, the early
Glastonbury and Stonehenge festivals, and the visionary pop of Kate
Bush, Julian Cope and Talk Talk, Electric Eden maps out a native
British musical voice that reflects the complex relationships
between town and country, progress and nostalgia, radicalism and
conservatism. An attempt to isolate the 'Britishness' of British
music - a wild combination of pagan echoes, spiritual quest,
imaginative time-travel, pastoral innocence and electrified
creativity - Electric Eden will be treasured by anyone interested
in the tangled story of Britain's folk music and Arcadian dreams.
