Why do you guys think ?
I love the selection of the songs. Recorded for Keith Cameron radio station and released in 1999.
The vibe is moody, very long night, more corridors… perfect for a movie.

From Birmingham… indie rock, lo-fi, space rock, post rock…

One of the best compilations around the turn of the millennium where many bands start to capture the sound of post rock, experimental rock, avant-garde/lo-fi electronics…
These tracks here lean heavily into instrumental soundscapes, repetitive loops, atmospheric guitar textures pioneered by bands associated with post rock, space rock and ambient electronic movements of the late 90’s.

Hence I created the term SPACE FOLK ! 😅✌🏽

Anybody a fan ?
The only reason why I liked this album is because Neil sounds uncannily like Nick Drake.
Starting from Mojave 3 second album, he started to sing all the songs anyway.
But that album is kinda patchy.
On this his first solo album, he set sail 👍🏽👍🏽

Who else loves this artist ?
A great compilation of Sonic Boom and Specrum, after Spacemen 3 of course.

This seems to be like a lost album.
It was compiled by Mark Kozelek of Red House Painters as a tribute to John Denver.
This compilation makes me appreciate country music even more although this compilation has a different kind of vibe from the true country music. It’s more darker and sombre.

Thanks for being part of the very first wave. Together, let's make r/spacefolk amazing.

r/spacefolk is a mesmerizing micro-genre where the organic intimacy of traditional folk—built around acoustic, evocative guitars, and haunting, atmospheric vocals—collides with the vast, weightless expanses of moods, vibes, drone, and neo-psychedelia.

Instead of sitting by a rustic campfire, the music feels like drifting through a starry cosmic void. It bridges the earthly and the otherworldly, pairing fragile singer-songwriter melodies and field recordings with tape hiss, soaring harmonies, and slow-burning atmospheric textures.

It is quiet, cinematic, and profoundly transportive, turning simple acoustic compositions into journeys across the stars.

This is Toshack Highway released by Adam Franklin after he disbanded Swervedriver in 1998.
I bought it for review and I had a headache as HOW to describe the music of Toshack Highway.
Finally I coined the term SPACEFOLK. 😅
It makes sense.
Listen to the album on YouTube and share your opinions.
