bits of you were starting to make sense and then you have to go and say that!

Hey, I was only 12 at the time.

As for concept albums in folk - there's The Transports, and Alan Stivell's overblown (but still wonderful fun) Celtic Symphony. I'd argue that Bellamy's LPs of Kipling's Puck Songs were heavy on Occult Prog Wyrd Concept too - 'Oak Ash & Thorn' and 'Merlin's Isle of Gramarye' - does it get any more prog? Then there's Anthems in Eden of course, and Bob Pegg's Ancient Maps & Bones, even Liege & Leif..

Folk is concept heavy, man! Getting heavier...
