1) Langsyne is a progressive folk group from Germany.
Their first album was recorded and released in 1976. Self-titled, its music is a consistent mixture between folk rock and eastern influences with lot of acoustic guitar, sitar elements. The presence of the electric organ provides to the relative “pastoral” and “ethnic” mood a spacey felt. Advanced instrumental improvisations and interludes are combined with a couple of structured songs with English lyrics. This experimental, peaceful folk rock can sometimes resonates with early kraut folk bands as Witthuser & Westrupp, Hoelderlin, and Broselmaschine. This is in most part an acoustic, contemplative journey deliberately orientated to additional “world” instruments, musical arrangements and imaginary inspired by the eastern, India “raga”universe.
Their album "Langsyne 2" was released in 2016.
2) Langsyne was a Danish rock band formed in 1993. The band split in March 2007. Among their best-known tracks are "Celebration" and "The Final Words".
