What the label says:

Awash in fuzz boxes and acid trips, the dozens of other overlooked groups from the psychedelic era bear little resemblance to Silmaril. While others buzzed within the hippie epicenters of Haight Street and the Lower East Side, Silmaril formed in haunted, industrial Milwaukee. Other bands might have met at a love-in; Silmaril were friends from a Catholic youth retreat bound together by a doomed figure in the eccentric madman tradition of Syd Barrett, Roy Harper and Mel Lyman by the name of Matthew Peregrine. The Voyage of Icarus captures the dark, mysterious, and achingly beautiful acid folk & Christian themed psychedelic sounds that emanated from 1973’s highly collectable privately pressed album, Given Time... Or the Several Roads, and their dormant, unreleased follow up No Mirrored Temple. Now available as a deluxe 180 gram double lp housed in custom produced trifold 2 color silkscreen jackets with specially printed inserts. Numbered edition of 525 “One of the most haunting and beautiful albums I have ever heard.” David Tibet, Current 93 / Nurse With Wound “A fantastic compilation of songs, and a MUST for each acid/psych folk collector.” - Psychedelicfolk
