Just reading Pagels the other night actually (The Gnostic Gospels) & we were on about The Wicker Man a few months back too - though which thread it was I couldn't say - I'll have a browse... Never did get Songs from the Wood I must confess. They get my vote from the rootsy r&b of This Was to the genuinely folksy Stand Up, & the darkly tinged introspections of Benefit; bits of Aqualung, and most of Living in the Past and the mighty Thick as a Brick, after which I gave up.

This sums it up quite perfectly, musically, theologically, or something: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dh0woT7NkKI

Lose the flute solo though; if it's genuine Shamanic woodwind you're looking for (played by a genuine Shaman): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uRnvMwD6jM

Why is there no music like that anymore??
