The Fox - For Fox Sake

A group of good musicians who specialised in tuneful songs very much in the style of Nirvana or US bands like Phluph or Aorta and deserved more success than they achieved. Their recordings are now very rare and sought-after, but Butterfly, which typified their style with some exquisite guitar and sitar work, later re-emerged on Rubble Vol. 4: 49 Minute Technicolour Dream (LP), Rubble Vol. 3 (CD) and Electric Psychedelic Sitar Headswirlers Vol. 6 (CD). Not all the tracks on the album work well, though. Some, like Secondhand Love or Mr. Blank have intriguing melodies and nice organ/guitar interplay, while there also are mistakes such as Goodtime Music, which sounds like a parody of Them, but certainly is not. The most psychedelic track is Madame Magical (9'38") with metre-changes and funny organ.(The Tapestry Of Delights)
