Moon Safari are a band I got into on sort of a whim - Half way through the first song I heard of them I was so astounded that I bought Blomljud AND Lover's End! The song was the very eclectic Yasgur's Farm:



The albums sat on my shelf for about 6 weeks before I played Blomljud in Harkat's car, and enjoyed it thoroughly. Then the next day I put on Lover's End and was blown away by the epic prog/pop style! That started an addiction, and now they're one of my favourite prog bands from the last decade! :D

Lastly, a couple more songs:
