fit & limo Terra Incognita (LP, £15.25)

4th album for SG by Bavarian folk/psych/space/improv duo takes you on a voyage to an adventurous world of sound. Fit&Limo's trademark acid folk inspired by Incredible String Band and Pearls Before Swine is still there, but this time influences of the 70's progressive Krautfolk school are more present and the collaboration with other musicians adds new colours.The collaboration with Bernd Witthuser, one half of legendary German 70's cosmic folk duo Witthuser & Westrup, almost marks a historic event, documented by a new version of their classic "Lasst uns auf die Reise gehn": the old Krautfolk school meets the folk adepts of the 21st century. The songs recorded with Miriam Goldberg & Jeffrey Alexander (from Providence, USA) veer towards psychedelic/mystic free folk and create a meditative, pastoral atmosphere. The collaboration with Timothy Renner (from Pennsylvania, USA) results in two fine tracks of gothic chamber folk, distinguished by Timothy's banjo and guitar play.
