Reissue of the 2nd Dr. Strangely Strange album from 1970, packaged in elaborate die-cut digipak cover (mimicking the original LP packaging, w/ fairly memorable Roger Dean artwork). "This band were one of many Incredible String Band inspired groups during the late '60s who wove together folk music with psychedelia. Their first album Kip of the Serenes is a minor classic and was well known at the time due to tracks from it appearing on low price compilations. Upon the 1970 release of Heavy Petting, the band's sound had progressed. The early songs on the album still have that whimsical, slightly surreal ISB-inspired sound but as the album progresses it introduces Celtic pipes and a driving folk rock edge. Interestingly this mixture of strummed acoustics and electrics with harmonising vocals sounds very similar to the Velvet Underground's final album of the same year Loaded which went on to become a rock classic. With a very young Gary Moore who went onto fame with Thin Lizzy as well as his own blues and rock solo career the guitar work is marvellous with searing folk-rock lead soloing. In 'Jove Is At Home' they find a delicacy that is similar to Synantheseia or Dulcimer with gentle vibes shimmering in the background. Overall an excellent album with some classic moments and one that has been overlooked unfairly."
