The Tracks of Sweeney
The Tracks of Sweeney is an album by Sweeney's Men. It was first released in 1969 and re-released on CD in 1996, packaged together with Sweeney's Men. One track on this album is frequently anthologised: "Hall of Mirrors". It is possibly the best folk-acoustic psychedelic Irish song, with mysterious images and echoes. The opening track "Dreams For Me" is another outstanding track, with an insistent guitar bass which transforms into a polka and back to a lament. "Afterthoughts" appears to show the influence of Nick Drake, but it is unlikely that Woods had heard songs from Drake's first album, released later in 1969.

gollark: CPU mining might kind of be better for that, since there is less disparity in CPU capability, I think.
gollark: I suppose they foolishly hope that nobody will try and deliberately meddle with it, or run it on several computers and compare results.
