![]() Opening with the title track this mystical instrumental raga sets the tone for this beautiful and deeply spiritual album. Unfortunately this supremely talented collective split before the album was released. While many new bands seem to reach near mythical status simply through cynical regurgitation, Magic Carpet made this kind of music imbued with a wonderfully un-jaded sense of optimism, more typical of records of this vintage."Īnother reviewer writes: "Based around the classically trained sitar virtuoso Clem Alford and the breathtaking ethereal vocalist Alisha Sufit, Magic Carpet delivered perhaps one of the finest Indian-influenced psychedelic folk albums of the 1970's. The band takes advantage of the sitar's resonant qualities, creating a psychedelic atmosphere around which their loosely constructed and lavishly ornamented concoctions are created. It seems as if there are countless albums that tap into non-western music which quickly delve into kitsch territory, but Magic Carpet is an exquisitely performed and genuine integration of various musical languages. One reviewer writes: "One of the finest and most legendary examples of eastern infused psychedelic folk, Magic Carpet (.) includes the prerequisite acoustic and electric guitars, as well as sitar, esraj, tamboura, tabla and other percussion, all of which is emphasised by radiantly charming female vocals. Magic Carpet band created a unique sound at the time, blending European contemporary folk sounds of Alisha Sufit with the skilled sitar playing of Clem Alford, plus guitar by Jim Moyes and tabla by Keshav Sathe. The inner sleeve has become 'tarnished' with age, slightly discoloured round the edges. The cover is in very good condition considering its age. It was kept in a box since the time of release and has not been played. doi:10.4997/ auction is for an original Magic Carpet LP (Mushroom 200 MR 20) by UK Magic Carpet band released in 1972 on the Mushroom label.
