Description: | Butterfly Farm by Madder Lake, released 23 March 2009.
This version of Butterfly Farm comes as a 1xCD. - The 1974 follow up to their startling debut 'stillpoint' is another progressive rock gem another chapter in the story of one Australia's best bands of the seventies. This, their last LP (excepting their legendary "lost" album 'brave new world... we're still searching... ') again featured a striking cover from roadie / artist drak and was lavishly packaged in a gatefold sleeve and insert (artwork faithfully created for this release). Musically, 'butterfly farm' continues in the same "psychedelic blues" vein as it's predecessor and features the mighty 'ride on fast' along with some amusing adlibs (on the live at sunbury version of 'lizards') from singer mick fettes! Aztec have added two subsequent non-lp singles and a live track from sunbury and the garrison as bonus tracks! This deluxe reissue (including 4 bonus tracks) has been remastered from the original master tapes by gil matthews, with a 24 page booklet filled with rare photos and liner notes from noted Australian rock aficionado ian McFarlane. The last six months have seen a triumphant return to the live scene from Madder Lake, who are rumored to be writing and recording new material for a projected follow up - 25 years later!BARCODE"Butterfly Farm" is a classic progressive rock album by the Australian band Madder Lake, released in 1974 and now available on CD through Aztec Music.
