Pentangle was a folk/jazz/oddball English group in the late 60s and early 70s. I like this jazzy tune; think it's in 5/4 and 7/4 time, though not certain. The rhythmic feel reminds me of Golden Brown from The Stranglers (1982).

Golden Brown
"Never a frown, with Golden Brown"
From The Stranglers (1982) featuring lead harpsichord and an unusual, for rock, varying time signature of 6/8 and 7/8. The song was a hit in many European countries, though not in the U.S. The Stranglers started as a UK-based punk band in the mid-70s and are still making music today. Here is the band looking rather dissolute and dissipated in their video.
The song was also featured on the sound track of Guy Ritchie's entertaining 2000 film, Snatch, featuring many British actors with unintelligible accents, a great cameo by the late Dennis Farina and Brad Pitt stealing the show as a Gypsy boxer who does not say an understandable word (his dialogue not even rising to the level of unintelligible) during the entire movie.
