Reviews

The psychedelic folk of Roger and Wendy truly is astonishingly beautiful and enchanting without sounding dated or too freaky.

A week ago I had never heard of BERMUDA TRIANGLE. Now I cherish these two albums. A footnote in the history of psychedelic folk that will now be promoted to a major chapter.

Truly wonderful music with totally its own sound, which to a great extent depends on Roger Penney's electric autoharp, the enchanting voice of Wendy Penney and the unique arrangements of the two. Listen to the unusual way in which BERMUDA TRIANGLE interprets the classic "Nights In White Satin". Everything that follows is as good or even better still.

"This gem,the sound is totally lost in time and transports you back to the carefree days of the early seventies and is extremely trippy.You have to check out the wah wah autoharp,the weird percussion and bass.A great listen.Almost predates the current folktronica scene.This wild album has to be heard and is quite superb from folk to reels to country all bathed in this misty autoharped glory."--Forced Exposure

"Truly bizarre folk-psych album that's more enjoyable than a lot of "better" records. Transcendental female vocals, elaborate keyboard arrangements,and autoharp which is often treated with phasing flanging and other effects. Fine originals. This album is kind of a shock on first listen,because at least to these jaded ears it's not often I discover something so original and bizarre."---Lysergia-Acid Archives

"At the first chord played I realized that everyone was staring in amazement at the sound."--HILLTOP PRESS

"If you like psych folk YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE THIS ALBUM"---Uncledog-Rock--written in Japan

This one is something of a stunner.Recorded in1977. "Right Track" kicks in full of autoharp and wah wah. "Dream On": shows the autoharp off very well, beautiful stuff. " Standing Together" is a more serious folk number with the autoharp to the fore again and with an attacking rhythm. Recorded on the Winter Solstice label. We can only be but grateful as the resultant album is a joy and
any acid folk / rural roots fans should grab it with both hands.

"Superb 70's NY Psych Folk rarity."

Re Nights In White Satin-" A more interesting cover of this song was done by BERMUDA TRIANGLE in 1977 with a female vocalist."

This album was only privately released and now sees the light again. It is a special recording which does not reveal itself after one listen. With driven soul in the vocals, and with speeded up rhythms heading for the light,using rock rhythms, covers or originals for enlightenment. Also the instrumentation is pretty weird and beautiful. There's use of electric piano and an Arp synthesizer which produces some unusual sounds. On "Right Track" this track sounds as if this is orchestrated, but I think the keyboards were responsible for this effect.[ROG says it was all autoharp] Also electric and acoustic autoharp provides more special acoustic and semi-electronic touches.The female singer, Wendy, has a beautiful folk-like voice, with some range in her singing. Her voice fits well everywhere, like on the opening track, a cover of the beautiful Moody Blues track (which is one of many peoples' all time favorite songs) "Nights in White Satin", with additional backing male voice, oscillating violin,electric piano and percussion. There's often a sing-a-long and celebrate feeling, from rock to more pastoral,like the closer, "Wind", a track which has the most psychedelic atmosphere, with an ethereal folkvoice, moody electric piano and bass.

"Roger plays rock autoharp like I have never seen it played before.He has a tendency to get very deeply into his music.Wendy has an incredibly beautiful voice.I mean Really beautiful."---Dickensonian Press
"Wendy, ethereal and beautiful bass guitarist,mesmerizes with a crystal clear soprano that's got to be one of the best in the business"---Woliver, Entertainment NY
"Delightfully demented.People get crazy when they perform."---Solomon,Newsworld
A FEW OF THE COLLEGE CONCERT REVIEWS:
"The longest applause that I've ever heard. The best of the year."
"A huge success. HUGE."
"Roger grooves on his electric autoharp which is rigged to trigger drum sounds."
"Two of the finest musicians in the field today."

That great part of the post-folk generation that's come to be known as Sunshine Pop, and which is rarely presented with such perfection as on a set like this..
