{"product_id":"electric-eden-faber-social-9780571349654","title":"Electric Eden (Faber Social)","description":"\u003cp\u003eRob Young investigates how the idea of folk has been handed down and transformed by successive generations - song collectors  composers  Marxist revivalists  folk-rockers  psychedelic voyagers  free festival-goers  experimental pop stars and electronic innovators.  In a sweeping panorama of Albions soundscape that takes in the pioneer spirit of Cecil Sharp; the pastoral classicism of Ralph Vaughan Williams and Peter Warlock; the industrial folk revival of Ewan MacColl and A. L. Lloyd; the folk-rock of Fairport Convention  Sandy Denny  Nick Drake  Shirley Collins  John Martyn and Pentangle; the bucolic psychedelia of The Incredible String Band  The Beatles and Pink Floyd; the acid folk of Comus  Forest  Mr Fox and Trees; The Wicker Man and occult folklore; the early Glastonbury and Stonehenge festivals; and the visionary pop of Kate Bush  Julian Cope and Talk Talk  Electric Eden maps out a native British musical voice that reflects the complex relationships between town and country  progress and nostalgia  radicalism and conservatism.  An attempt to isolate the \"Britishness\" of British music - a wild combination of pagan echoes  spiritual quest  imaginative time-travel  pastoral innocence and electrified creativity - Electric Eden will be treasured by anyone interested in the tangled story of Britains folk music and Arcadian dreams.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45792383500341,"sku":"ByrdShop_057134965X","price":241.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780571349654.jpg?v=1784747961","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/electric-eden-faber-social-9780571349654","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
