Just amazing transportational gris gris psych!
author: Psychatrone Rhonedakk
God ,this is thee real trip!
A mix of Voodoo Gris Gris,the Silver Apples,Arthur Brown's Kingdom Come,and the most psychedelic dance music you will ever experience!
From the "Incantation"...."Mortar & Pestle,Mortar & Pestle,...The signal's the spell,The record's the vessel",on you know this will be a great experience!
This covers a lot of ground(and space),and yet hangs together beautifully.
"Inflated" if played to a psych collector, and told it was a lost classic, would make the guy hyperventillate and lift a few feet off of the floor(which is exactly what the songs is about)! It's that freakin' perfect! Like a lost "United States of America" song....and to die for too.
The trance out called "Zoe" packs so much power it'll have you dancing like your in a voodoo trance by it's finish (and that's even if you've never danced before)!Like a Gris Gris Donovan ,but a million times better than I could express.
"Synaesthesia" is so west coast 1960's that it's like a mix of Jefferson Airplane and Spirit ,a floating wonder.
"Holy Roller" & "The Shack" are like the Silver Apples' banjo driven, country freak songs,...but with a slight bit of the spirit of the Holy Modal Rounders thrown in as a bonus!
If this peaks your interest...you NEED to get this!
I highly recommend you take this trip!

I’ve been waiting for an album like this.
author: Jeff Fitzgerald of Aural Innovations
I’ve been waiting for an album like this. The electronica of the 90’s always had a bit of a psychedelic edge to it, but I always felt it could have moved forward by bringing in instruments other than synthesizers, merging the psychedelic sounds of the 60’s with modern electronic rhythms. Finally, someone has done that, and he goes by the name of H.R. Funk N’ Puff (actually the brainchild of a musician named Moss, along with several friends guesting on various tracks). On Songs From the Electric Greenwood, Moss whips up a tasty and aromatic stew of Chemical Brothers style funky breaks along with the more traditional instruments of psychedelic folk and rock. Things get underway with the murky and spine tingling chant/rap didgeridoo workout of The Incantation. Synaethesia follows, and with its high-pitched Farfisa sounding organ and beautiful harmony vocals it could easily be a lost H. P. Lovecraft song. Holy Roller is summery psychedelic bluegrass, with trippy electronic rhythms and cheerful banjo. Tongue Talk takes the electro-funk approach with Moss’s vocals reminding me a bit of Crispin Mills, making this almost like Kula Shaker does electronica. Very cool stuff. Garden of Summer is a totally spacey, eastern trance freakout, with tabla and trippy lyrics, re-enforcing the summery, nature loving theme of the album. The Shack returns us to the acoustic, banjo pickin’ fun of Holy Roller, and is a joyful partying celebration of all things cosmic and psychedelic. The beautiful and haunting Zoe is a liquidly rhythmic Mellotron drenched trip with a beautiful Donovan-like melody. Liquid Nature Ball follows it nicely, with the distinctly Donovan vocal influence set this time in a weird and wonderful soundscape of bubbling otherworldly forest sounds, eastern drones, playful flutes, and whispery backing vocals. It all ends with a completely psyched out reprise of the first track on the album, appropriately titled Closing the Circle. Oh wait! There’s also a hidden track, an amusing techno parody of subliminal messaging, advertising, and selling out. While it nods its head strongly to artists of the past, Songs From the Electric Greenwood is more than just retro-psychedelia; it’s a trip into the mind of a modern day techno/nature hippie troubadour. And what a deliriously strange and beautiful trip it is!
