They offered choices of cannabis, mushrooms, or palo santo (which is not a drug but a wood native to South America that’s burned in spiritual practices and also sold in bougie general stores - basically the “thanks, but no thanks” option) via a Google form. “So we thought it would be hilarious if rather than choosing meat, fish, or vegetarian on the RSVP, we have people choose their drug.” “We hate conventional weddings, and we basically wanted to do everything antithetical to what that entails,” the bride, a journalist who asked not to be identified, tells me.

The record will be sent by insured mail with the LP disc in a modern vinyl sleeve for the journey, placed outside the two original sleeves (inner and outer cover) to avoid splitting of original sleeves. This psych folk gem is a unique and extraordinary fusion of east and west, Magic Carpet being one of the very first bands to truly combine Indian and western instrumentation, with Jim Moyes playing guitar and Keshav Sathe on Tabla." Listen to tracks on YouTube or CD Baby. Alisha Sufit's astonishing vocal talents are included in nine of the twelve tracks, the remaining three being instrumental. Opening with the title track this mystical instrumental raga sets the tone for this beautiful and deeply spiritual album. Unfortunately this supremely talented collective split before the album was released. While many new bands seem to reach near mythical status simply through cynical regurgitation, Magic Carpet made this kind of music imbued with a wonderfully un-jaded sense of optimism, more typical of records of this vintage." Another reviewer writes: "Based around the classically trained sitar virtuoso Clem Alford and the breathtaking ethereal vocalist Alisha Sufit, Magic Carpet delivered perhaps one of the finest Indian-influenced psychedelic folk albums of the 1970's.
The band takes advantage of the sitar's resonant qualities, creating a psychedelic atmosphere around which their loosely constructed and lavishly ornamented concoctions are created. It seems as if there are countless albums that tap into non-western music which quickly delve into kitsch territory, but Magic Carpet is an exquisitely performed and genuine integration of various musical languages.
One reviewer writes: "One of the finest and most legendary examples of eastern infused psychedelic folk, Magic Carpet (.) includes the prerequisite acoustic and electric guitars, as well as sitar, esraj, tamboura, tabla and other percussion, all of which is emphasised by radiantly charming female vocals. The back has a feint circular mark from the disc that is less obvious in real life than in the pictures. However, the inner sleeve does show signs of age with discoloured / tarnished edges. The record is in almost mint condition having never been played, just kept in a box since manufacture. This auction is for an original Magic Carpet LP released in 1972 on the Mushroom label, catalogue number 200 MR 20.
