The author takes us back, way back, to a long lost mythological era: Albion, Atlantis, Avalon... and then: just add psychedelic drugs & electronic recording technology: the past is new again, for a brief moment in time...
This is an excellent book if you wish to be lost in a reverie, where peasants sang and danced in pursuit of a long lost age... with intelligent commentary.
I have just noticed that The Onion's AV Club has posted an essay about the artists featured in the book Electric Eden just a few days ago. - VB 11-06-2011 11:05 pm
Also note that the talented guitarist for Pentangle, Bert Jansch, passed away on Oct 5 2011.
