Virtually unknown outside of Australia, and not too well known within it, Extradition made one of the better obscure folk-rock albums of the early '70s with their only album, 1971's Hush. The record could easily have been mistaken for a British acid folk LP of the period, mixing songs and melodies with similarities to British borderline folk-rockers like Bert Jansch and Pentangle, with lyrics and some instrumentation that weren't nearly as grounded in traditional British folk as Jansch's. Although the arrangements were acoustic, they used an adventurous assortment of instruments -- harpsichord, cello, harmonium, dulcimer, organ, flute, chimes, gongs, tablas, glockenspiel, and more -- to shade their haunting songs with some classical grandeur and, at times, even musique concrète-like avant-gardism.
