Silver Globe

Limited clear vinyl LP pressing. Digitally remastered edition. In the madrigal-strewn world of neo folk-psychedelia, the queen of drones holds court. In this late teen decade, as green men are burnt, resources dwindle and naturalists plunder for authentic Englishness, the hunt for the grail-like Silver Globe continues. Back in 2014, the story was first whispered: a mythical jaunt set to a motorik rhythm, played out in an overgrown forest of ideas. Jane Weaver's The Silver Globe was a conceptual delicacy - "a synth-ridden post-apocalyptic prog-pop opus based on tightly embroidered, non-linear recurring themes inspired by esoteric stories, cosmic imagery and re-filtered past experiences". Featuring tracks co-produced by David Holmes, guest appearances by Australian vintage space-rockers Cybotron, a recycled chunk of a Hawkwind track, an intricate Damon Gough guitar solo, some Suzanne Ciani waves and post production, plus remix flourishes by Andy Votel, The Silver Globe is a shiny beautifully polished gem.
