Having countryman John Cale label your first-ever commercial release “hisfavourite album ever” is about as good a start as a Welsh rock band couldhope for, and after several subsequent, critically-acclaimed albums on theAnkst label, Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci caught the attention of a major label(Fontana) and released this 1997 psych-folk masterpiece.

Two singles resulted, both charting: the gently rocking “Diamond Dew” and the twistedpop ditty “Patio Song,” but Barafundle is above all an album, taking you on a
benevolently bent journey akin to the Small Faces’ Ogdens’ Nut Gone Flake (with a
side trip of Incredible String Band), which is high praise indeed.

For its first ever domestic LP release, we’ve had it remastered for vinyl by Mike
Milchner at Sonic Vision, and pressed up 2000 copies in jungle swirl vinyl, housed
inside a jacket with full-colour printed inner sleeve. Put a log on the fire, brew up some
mushroom tea, and bliss out.

Limited to 2000 Copies.
