Biography:
Extracts from The Story of Freedom's Children by Tom Jasiukowicz (sleeve notes from Astra re-issue in 1997)
If ever there was a rock band around which a legend was created, then Freedom's Children were that band. Were they simply a broken-hearted horde writing psychedelic love songs? Were they galactic flyers in tune with astral days? Or were Freedom's Children just one of the best rock bands the world ever heard, or is it appropriate to say categorically that Freedom's Children were the best band the world never heard.
An ironic suggestion, perhaps, but one with a lot of truth in it. That the circumstances surrounding their existence played against them does not detract from the fact that the original group formed in the year and in the world of music, the ground was breaking.
In contrast to the hit parade sounds of The Beatles, The Beach Boys and The Monkees, groups like The Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane and Pink Floyd were producing albums marked by their experimental creativity and music styles termed acid rock or astral music.
In 1966, Ramsay Mackay and Colin Pratley had teamed up in Durban to experiment with their music ideas. In Cape Town they met Kenny Henson, who had been playing blues with Leeman Ltd., and together with Jimmy Thompson, of the same band, they began to perform as Freedom's Children. Their sound was acid-astral rock.
South Africans had not been prepared for this group. The group created controversy and newspaper headlines, in every small South African town they performed at. Some towns banned them. But to those who understood quality rock, Freedom's Children provided their break with conventional thinking and music ideas.
Julian Laxton replaced Kenny Henson on guitar in 1968 and Harry Poulus joined on keyboards. The group travelled to England but, perhaps for the reason that the group was from South Africa, and the politics of apartheid swayed opinion, the musicians were refused work permits and so their dream of attracting world acclaim faded. While the group returned to South Africa disillusioned, began work on the recording of the 'Astra' album.
The album provided the magic of a classic rock album. There were dramatic climaxes, socio-philosophical lyrics, hard, pulsating rhythms, blistering lead guitar solos, sense-riveting sound-effects and soaring vocals.
Ramsay Mackay left the group after the recording of 'Astra' and it was Julian Laxton who drove the band on their last album, 'Galactic Vibes', and where the music on it was still devastatingly good, the aura of 'Astra' had dissipated.
Ramsay Mackay, Colin Pratley, Kenny Henson, Julian Laxton and Brian Davidson all carried on producing music in their respective forms and styles, through the Seventies and Eighties. But if the world of South Africa had been perfect, and had Freedom's Children achieved their breakthrough in England, one can only speculate how difficult the success of this group would have been. The world would have heard some good creative music.
Long live Freedom's Children

Produced by Keith Relf of the Yardbirds, Saturnalia made their 1969 debut with this beautiful picture disc, which has since become a collector's item among fans of the genre. For this release Akarma has attempted to remain as faithful as possible to the original packaging (picture disc format with booklet including photos & extensive band bio.) & the result is this exceptional reissue. Featuring the beautiful Aletta & Adrian Hawkind on vocals & Rod Roach on guitar. Hawking & Roach were previously together in Horse. An excellent product of the '70s British underground. Includes booklet. Miniature LP sleeve.
Famous on release in 1969 (and re-issue in 1973) for being one of the first picture disc albums, this UK album has stood the test of time well. A thoroughly competent slice of West Coast influenced progressive psychedelia with an occult edge, some excellent female vocals and searing lead guitar work.

The World of Distortion - 1988 - All the Volume...Twice the Distortion
All the Volume...Twice the Distortion
After the Afrika Korps and the Dark Cellars, here's another member of the Stanton Park/New England family (which has a lot more members): The World of Distortion, a trio lead by Aram Heller (Hopelessly Obscure, Dark Cellars, Kenne Highland Clan, Plan 9, head of Stanton Park label). They released only a 7" (Let's go / Welcome Home, Stanton Park, 1987) and this LP in Voxx in 1988, with recordings made in 1986-87.
They combine the raw garage punk of the teenage 60s groups (mainly on the a-side) with the heavy fuzz of the early 70s, adding a good dose of psyche. Enjoy their anthem 'World of Distortion', their take on Hendrix's 'Burning of the Midnight Lamp' and the 9-minute-long, Greadful Dead-jamming-with-Fuzztones 'Tarantula'.

Hapshash and the Coloured Coat - 1967 - Human Host and the Heavy Metal Kids
Hapshash and the Coloured Coat - Feat. Human Host and the Heavy Metal Kids
(1967 Minit/Liberty)
Tracklist:
01 - H-O-P-P-Why?
02 - A Mind Blown Is A Mind Shown
03 - The New Messiah Coming 1985
04 - Aoum
05 - Empire Of The Sun
Notes:
Hapshash & The Coloured Coat were protagonists of London's psychedelic boom of 1967. Founded by art students Michael English and Nigel Weymouth, who became famous at the peak of the British psychedelic movement for their colorful and surreal posters, they released the album "Featuring The Human Host And The Heavy Metal Kids" (Minit, 1967), a chaotic assembly of free-form jamming and percussions (the side-long instrumental Empires Of The Sun, A Mind Blown Is A Mind Shown), muezzin-like chanting (The New Messiah Coming 1985), and hippie melodies (H-O-P-P-Why?). The album featured the entire line-up of Art (Mike Harrison, Greg Ridley, Mike Kellie, Luther Grosvenor) but the main contributions came from the producer, Guy Stevens, a veritable George Martin of the poor.
This LP, released in 1967, featured cover design by Michael English and Nigel Waymouth, with photography by Ekim Adis. There's much interesting information relating to this LP project, the artists involved and (obviously) the cover itself across two pages of '100 Best Album Covers,' including this quote from Michael English concerning 'The Intention':
"If I use the words that are current now - and they weren't the words we used then, but the meaning is the same - it was to do with putting out a good energy of love and power and light and colour and peace, and turn the whole planet into a radiant ball of good energy. We wanted to communicate that good energy, spread it out, and make contact with new beings, so that in a way, the whole universe would be pulsating with this energy - which it is anyway, as we know. That thinking was so revolutionary, so incredible, and it was virtually ignored by the established fine art world, which continued its fascination with Pop art, and Situationist art. They didn't want to hear about what we were talking about because it was dangerous, it undermined their system."

T2 - 1970 - It'll All Work Out In Boomland
All-time classic 1970 heavy British progressive rock monster! Stunning power trio! Contains 3 bonus tracks too! This is an essential item for anyone visiting this site!
A genuine masterpiece. Up there with Caravan's third album, King Crimson's first and Fantasy's second, this is amazing progressive rock with killer guitar work, vocal harmonies, orchestration, etc. etc. Not a duff song and an album to explore over and over again. Originals of this sole release by T2 from the early '70s are worth a fortune brilliant early '70s UK prog album.
(The Freak Emporium)
the Band
Keith Cross - keyboards, guitar, vocals
Peter Dunton - drums, vocals
Bernard Jinks - bass, vocals
T2 was formed in early 1970 when Peter Dunton (drums, lead vocals and songs) left the Gun to join up with Keith Cross (guitar and keyboards) and Bernard Jinks (bass), both from Bulldog Breed. They soon found a strong musical rapport and, after less than a week of rehearsals, they started a residency at a club in London's West End.By their third gig, the club was packed, and the producers from four major record companies and three TV and Radio programmes were there to check them out. This led to a recording deal with Decca Records, the release of "It'll All Work Out In Boomland" and several TV and radio appearances later in the year.Their rise continued throughout the year, with appearances at several important open-air festivals, including the Isle of Wight and Plumpton. They headlined a series of residencies at the Marquee Club, and appeared at virtually every major rock venue in the London area before branching out onto the university circuit. They were constantly in the music press - indeed Keith, still only seventeen, was being hailed as the new Eric Clapton! In the end, the pressures grew too great and first Keith and then Bernard left the band.After a short break, Peter put the band back on the road with new musicians, and T2 toured the UK continuously throughout 1971 and 1972. Finally, a settled line-up was achieved - including Mike Foster, who had been a friend of the band since the early lays. However, the UK music scene had changed considerably by then. The band found that to resume their recording career, they would have to compromise their musical policy. Rather than do this, they decided to stop altogether.Essentially, T2 were an exceptional live band with a unique blend of musical styles. The three musicians played as one, with great emotional intensity, and sounded like no one else. Their music went through constant changes of light and shade, from wistful acoustic whispers to thunderous roars of anger, creating great musical tension on the way. Their concerts were not just a series of favourite songs, they were emotional experiences, which somehow triggered feelings and memories in their audiences. In some ways it was fitting that they should end too soon - a promise unfulfilled, a question unanswered.

The Inn - 1987 - Psychedelic Schedule
The Inn - 1987 - Psychedelic Schedule
These are the liner notes from "Fun With Mushrooms" compilation (1993) which includes their track "Who's My Name?":
American psych outfit The Inn have been gigging since 1986 and have released three albums of West Coast styled psychedelic rock. Moving from free form freakouts through to more structured flowing rock pieces. The Inn have explored almost every corner of the genre. "Who's My Name?" represents the bands current direction of tightly knit melodic rock with a psychedelic lyrical content. A live album is due soon and as usual the band are constantly gigging.
In "Psychedelic Schedule" (Voxx) you can hear the two sides of the Inn: the deep psychedelia in the Plan 9-like 24-minutes-long 'Roy G.Bin' and in 'Marlwood Lake' and the folk-psych of the remaining tracks, which reminds me of some non-US bands of the era, like the Moffs or the Wayward Souls. In 'What's It like' they sound dangerously close to R.E.M. (who?), due to the singer's voice (I assume it was T.Farina, 'cause M.Cooper is on the lead vocals in the rest of the album). -Edit: As Leslie Davidson commended, Bruce Carothers is the lead singer on "What It's Like" (see the commends for more, as L.Davidson was a member of the Inn)
After this LP, they released another 3 albums in their local (North Carolina) label Third Lock and they were active at least 'till 1993, with only Mitch Cooper remaining from the original line-up. Sadly, in these later releases they moved to more streight and softer rock songwriting.

A Caterpillar crawled to me one day and said "Oh what the hell goes on inside your swollen head? I don't believe that you can see as much as I Now close your eyes and tell me what do you say?"
"I watched nine cats dance on the moon A flamingo stalked into my room It bowed its head to me and knelt To reveal the cards it had dealt An ace, three jacks, two queens, four kings Then turned them into burning rings The flames jumped out and chased four mice Caught by their tails they turned to ice
A cloud appeared outside my door And through the window saw four more And on the back of each cloud sat Two rainbow smiles in wizard's hats They threw five clocks down on my bed The chimes danced out on golden threads And turned to footprints on my wall Sequined tears began to fall"
The caterpillar gasped at me and said "My god if that's what's going on inside your head You can see so much more than I I think it's time to turn into a butterfly."

The David - 1967 - Another Day, Another Lifetime
The David - 1967 - Another Day, Another Lifetime
Private press orchestral psych classic from 1967
Tracks:
01 Another Day, Another Lifetime/I Would Like To Know
02 I'm Not Alone
03 Sweet December
04 Tell Me More
05 Now To You
06 Professor Crawford
07 Time M
08 So Much More
09 Mirrors Of Wood
10 Of Our Other Days
A review from Fuzz, Acid & Flowers
The David, who came from Los Angeles, made an interesting album which has now become a collectors' item. The title track blends Eastern, chantlike overtones with Western orchestrational motifs. Other tracks are often characterised by driving rhythms played alongside oddly spaced melody lines. Much of the material - which was all written and composed by Warren Hansen - is heavily orchestrated. Hansen also invented an instrument, which he called the Plasmatar, to provide the vibrant rasp on one track Mirrors of Wood, which also contains some fine fuzztone. The final track Of Our Other Days had considerable commercial potential with a calypso-style melody and hypnotic beat.
AMG Review:
Not to overdo The Left Banke comparison, but any fan of that group will enjoy this a lot as well, as it has a similar fusion of pure pop hooks, imaginative baroque orchestration, and fragile romantic songwriting. The David have more of a rock drive, however, are more apt to employ period psychedelic flourishes (such as the wobbling distorted guitar riffs on "Mirrors of Wood"), and take on more whimsical, less personal lyrical concerns. The beautiful, suite-like title cut, the organ-powered "Sweet December," and "Now to You" are highlights. A 2001 CD reissue on Jamie adds a couple of previously unreleased songs. — Richie Unterberger

ALBUM: 1(A) CHAMAELEON CHURCH (MGM 4574) 1968
NB: (1) reissued on LP and CD (Akarma AK 130) 2000.
45: 1 Camillia Is Changing/Your Golden Love (MGM 13929) 1968
This sole album is full of great flower-power pop with heavenly vocals that will appeal greatly to fans of Left Banke and Cryan' Shames. Prior to Chamaeleon Church, Ted Myers and Kyle Garrahan had been in The Lost and after the band's demise, Myers and Scheuren went on to Ultimate Spinach. Kyle Garrahan too pursued a solo career, whilst Chevy Chase went on to fame and fortune with a career in films.
Apparently their album did not truly represent the bands own "sound". During the recording of the album, for example, the bass drum was given its own track but is all but missing from the final mix - Chevy was apparently "rippin' mad" when he heard the final result.... Producer Alan Lorber had wanted to give them an easy soft-rock feel - a phrase that didn't even exist back then, but which was somewhat akin to Orpheus, who had achieved some success at the time with their blend of soft psych.
Ted Myers later wrote a song around '72 called Going In Circles which was recorded by Three Dog Night as the flip side of one of their biggest hits, The Family Of Man. It also was used in a movie called "X,Y & Z". Later Myers recorded an album with studio musicians, called Glider, a single Your Like A Melody and is now is an A&R Director for Rhino Records. Tony Scheuren went on to the National Lampoon, where he appeared with Chevy in a road company of "Lemmings" (an off broadway spoof on Woodstock written by Tony Hendra). After that he was in some other road shows and appeared regularly on the Radio Hour. Scheuren is also featured on several National Lampoon albums, two of which were grammy nominated... Missing White House Tapes and Goodbye Pop.
Compilation appearances have included: Off With The Old and In A Kindly Way on The Best Of Bosstown Sound (CD); Off With The Old, In A Kindly Way, Here's A Song, Ready Eddie? (Waltz For Debby), Camillia Is Changing, Your Golden Love, Remembering's All I Can Do, Blueberry Pie, Blueberry Pie (alt), Tompkins Square Park and Spring This Year on Family Circle - Family Tree (CD);

V.A. - Rockabilly Psychosis & The Garage Disease
Big Beat's Rockabilly Psychosis and the Garage Disease delivers just what the title promises, collecting cult garage rock tracks like "My Daddy Is a Vampire," "Radioactive Kid," "Dateless Night," and "Jack on Fire." "Psycho" and "Crusher" are also good examples of what this underground garage collection has to offer. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide

United States of Existence - 1986 - Introducing...
Introducing...The United States Of Existence, Bam Caruso, 1986
From Baltimore, MD, they were in fact a recording project of Paul Rieger and Bob Tiefenwerth. They didn't peform in public but record this LP in their basement, and then they went their separate ways. The other two members moved to LA and formed Playground -later renaimed Jigsaw Seen.
U.S.E. discography consists of a 7' single (Anything Goes!/Makin’ My Scene, 1984) and this sole LP (1986) on the UK BamCaruso label. Numerous songs appeared in almost every worthy psyche compilation (their non-LP song "Return to the Psychedelic" opens the Battle of the Garages #1, another non-LP "Shadows Of Rainbows" is in “The Rebel Kind” compilation LP, "Baroque Hi Fi" in Dimensions Of Sound, "Makin’ My Scene" in Electric Psychedelic Sitar Headswirlers #3, Children of Nuggets, etc). In 1994, Fidelity Sounds label released "The Collection", a 16-song CD, which includes "Introducing..." LP and five compilation and unreleased tracks.
Intoducing... is a shiny, colourful and fuzzed-out record, reminding both of the Strawberry Alarm Clock and the Kinks, as well as the Electric Prunes, complete with sitar, electric harpsicord and theremin.
Tracklist:
Love To The 44th Power
A Scandal In Bohemia
Makin’ My Scene
Somethin’ ‘Bout The Way
Bad Roads At Midnight
It’s A Drag
Welcome Tomorrow Goodbye Today
Anything Goes!

Tav Falco's Panther Burns, sometimes shortened to "(The) Panther Burns", is an errant musical troupe performing stripped-down, often primitive rock and roll and other styles, originally from Memphis led by Tav Falco. They are best known for having been part of a set of bands emerging in the late 1970s and early 1980s who helped nationally popularize the blending of blues, country, and other American traditional music styles with rock music among groups playing in alternative music and punk music venues of the time. The earliest and most renowned of these groups to imbue these styles with expressionist theatricality and primitive spontaneity were The Cramps, largely influenced by rockabilly music. Forming just after them in 1979, Panther Burns drew on obscure country blues music, Antonin Artaud's works like The Theater and Its Double, beat poetry, and Marshall McLuhan's media theories for their early inspiration. Alongside groups like The Cramps and The Gun Club, Panther Burns ranked among the contributing influences and progenitors of the Southern Gothic-tinged roots music revival scene that arose during the last two decades of the 20th Century and continued into the early 2000s.
According to the band, Panther Burns is "a Southern Gothic, psychedelic country band influenced by Memphis music styles". The original band lineup featured two guitars, synthesizer, and drums, later usually omitting keyboards or synthesizers at live shows. The group's somewhat experimental recordings have embraced and deconstructed a number of influences and genres.
With his signature Höfner fuzz-tone guitar and a stage presence characterized by his Argentine-styled pompadour, pencil moustache, smoking jacket, and urbane manner, Falco infused his shows with theatrical antics and a reverence for the originators of country blues and rockabilly. The band's assorted song subjects and album photography themes have included Memphis scenery, Carroll Cloar's Panther Bourne painting, the occasional reference to historical figures like American rampage murderer Charles Starkweather, motorcycle imagery, denizens of Memphis neighborhoods, tango imagery, and blithe introspection, among other themes
Falco's treatment of the blues classic "Bourgeois Blues" adds a line from Ginsberg's famous beat poem "Howl". In a 1984 interview discussing his anti-environment concept and music, he said that many outstanding, but lesser known blues and rockabilly artists were "treated like the idiot wind". Similarly, he continued, "the beat writers and theorists like Antonin Artaud were treated like they were crazy. It wasn't until he died that everyone realized he was a genius". Two of his originals, "Agitator Blues" and "Panther Phobia Manifesto", evinced playful humor and a left-leaning, Utopian anarchist political stance. In "Panther Phobia Manifesto", Falco referenced lines from influences as disparate as William S. Burroughs, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Howlin' Wolf, Rod Serling, French psychedelic band The Dum Dum Boys, and Dadaist poet Louis Aragon, in wishing a "huge firedamp explosion" to closed-minded members of society who blindly follow the dictates of the establishment. Proclaiming that everywhere the Panther Burns go, they are greeted with derision, he riffed from Aragon, "Laugh your fill, the Panther Burns are the ones who always hold out a hand to the enemy".
The group's wide-ranging styles have included Argentine tango music, country music, rockabilly, r&b, soul music, novelty tunes, early rock and roll, country blues, and pop standards of the 1950s and 1960s like Frank Sinatra's "The World We Knew", among others. Set lists have included mutated covers of songs originally performed by such diverse artists as J. Blackfoot, Doc Pomus, Bobby Lee Trammell, Gene Pitney, Reverend Horton Heat, Jessie Mae Hemphill, R. L. Burnside, Mack Rice, and Allen Page (of the small 1950s Moon Records label helmed by early rock-and-roll producer/songwriter Cordell Jackson), among others.
Terms the band says have been inaccurately "foisted upon" the group by media include "rockabilly, wreckabilly, psychobilly, punk, post punk, post-modern, garage, bluesabilly, roots, and permanent wave". The earliest description the band gave itself on a concert poster read simply: "Rock'n'Roll". Media confusion in categorizing led the band to eventually invent its own self-descriptive terms, such as "panther music" and "backwoods ballroom", also at times calling its tumultuous performance style "art damage".

7 X 7 is - U.S. psychedelic/garage singles
Here are seven singles (a & b sides) from seven U.S. groups. Almost all are non-LP. I've included the links to other releases from these bands - and there are quite a few. The link for the 7"s is at the end of this post.
Burning Rain - Climb To The Sky/Crystal Colord Cloud
This was released in 1990 on Rockadelic in 500 copies. Psychedelia in the finest 13 Floor Elevators tradition. Burning Rain from Texas have at least 6 LPs, one of them you can find here
Pleasure Heads - Song For God/Clove Cigarettes
Pleasure Heads are a mystery to me. They only released this single on Get Hip in 1988, and then nothing was heard from them. Male-female vocals, steady beat and a killer guitar riff in "Song for God". Absolutely godlike.
Brood - Since He's Been Gone/You Got Me Crying
You can find the entire discography of these garage girls here, so there's no need to say anything more, except that this 7" on Stanton Park label from 1990 is non-LP.
Untold Fables - For My Woman/The Man and The Wooden God/Wendylyn/When The Night Falls
Again the very active contributors of this blog posted Untold Fables LP "Every Mother's Nightmare" here, and you must be familiar with them. This 4-cut 7"single is from 1987, and finds them a bit (but only a bit) calmed-down with touches of Byrds-ian guitars.
Marshmallow Overcoat - Suddenly Sunday/Tomorrow Never KnowsThis is the band of Timoth Gassen, based in Tucson, Arizona at their absolute best period (1988). Groovy psychedelic pop from a true master of the genre. You can find here their 1991 release (as Overoat) " Three Chords...and a Cloud of Dust".
Petals - Mushroom Farm/Energy Panel
This is from 1990 on November Rain label. For this single I couldn't find a photo and my copy is stored in a way that I need sometime to get it, but you can see (and hear) their LPs here
Laughing Soup Dish - Teenage Lima Bean/Rainy Day Sponge
And finaly the absolute psychedelic single from the 80s, an incredible song on the A-side which includes in 5.09' all the myths and legends from 1965 to 1985, the Brit-psyche scene and the raw garage bands of the U.S. Rainy Day Sponge is the best b-side you could hear after all that. Again the inevitable link We are...the Dish LP.
Get them U.S. psychedelic/garage singles here.

Ale Möller Band - Bodjal (2004)
A great folk beauty
Ale Möller comes full circle. From the bouzoukispellman who learned Swedish folk music on a Greek instrument so many years ago comes a stunning new album of music that starts with those Greek roots, and then explodes across the continents. With Maria Stellas and Mamadou Sene on Greek and West African vocals, a core band of Moller's strings, accordion, flutes and voice, Magnus Stinnerbom (fiddles, mandolin), Sebatian Dube (bass) and Rafael Sida Hulzar (percussion). Guest performances include Jonas Knutsson (sax), Shirpa Nandy (Indian vocals), Kurash Sultan (Uyghur vocals) and Mats Oberg (keyboards).
From the sweeping sound that Filarfolket created 2 decades ago, Moller and company have created a worthy heir to the global sound of Sweden.
The musicians:
- Ale Möller: mandola, accordion, flutes, shawm (skalmeja), cow horn etc.
- Maria Stellas: Swedish-Greek singer and dancer. As a singer she has specialized in older Greek songs, primarily from the Rembetika repertoire of the early 1900s. Her dancing is the oriental dance "Raqs Sharki" (or belly dance).
- Mamadou Sene: singer and acrobatic dancer from Senegal. Before moving to Sweden he was a soloist in the Senegalese National Ballet.
- Magnus Stinnerbom: young master fiddle player from Värmland who specializes in polskor from Jössehärad, as well as music from the Swedish-Norwegian border area. Member of folk music groups Harv and Hedningarna.
- Sebastian Dubé: double bass player from Quebec, Canada who is both classically trained and a virtuoso jazz musician. Currently also plays with The Swedish Chamber Orchestra, based in Örebro.
- Rafael Sida Huizar: Mexican percussionist who came to Sweden back in the 1970s as a member of a Mexican rock band. A percussionist with profound knowledge of Afro-Cuban and Latin drum traditions.
Also participating: Shipra Nandy: singer from Bengal
Kurash Sultan: singer and dutar player from Uyghuristan
Mats Öberg: keyboards
Jonas Knutsson: baritone sax

This album is pop/folk/rock heaven. Not a dull moment throughout the entire album.This is the best album I have heard in 2000. Every song on the album could have been a single, they area all so catchy. I bought it after hearing the single "Baby You're so free" but didn't expect the whole album to be up to that calibre. Daniel Wylie's lush vocal harmony arrangements are perfect. If bands like The Byrds, Crosby Stills and Nash tickle your fancy , then you will adore this record. "Revolution in the summertime" is a really a masterpiece!!!!!
Third album for the Scottish folk-rock act combines tracks from their first two albums, 'Deliverance' (1999) and 'Panorama' (2000) though some have been vastly improved upon, although the original versions earned them a place in Virgin's Greatest Albums. Includes three all new tracks, 'Sometime', the first single 'Melanie' and 'Morning Sun'.
In the current musical climate, it's hard to imagine anything more unfashionable than an album of 60's-style Byrds/Beach Boys-influenced guitar pop that is so traditional it makes Teenage Fanclub sound like Aphex Twin, but put your cynicism on hold for "Enjoy..." is one of the most enjoyable, grin-inducing debuts of recent years. Hailing from Glasgow, and firmly in the TFC/BMX Bandits tradition of that city, it's no surprise that Cosmic Rough Riders are signed to former Creation boss Alan McGee's new Poptones label, for this album positively reeks of McGee's former stable. Chiming guitars, heavenly harmonies, joyously dumb cod-psychedelic lyrics...all the elements are here, and they work wonderfully together. Don't be put off by the album's opening gambits - "Harvesting the Land" and "Glastonbury Revisited" are mawkish 60s folk, and "This Gun Isn't Loaded" is a fairly unsuccessful stab at sitar-drenched psychedelia which ends up sounding too much like Spinal Tap's "Listen To The Flower People" for comfort. It's when CRRs lose the patchouli oil and let loose the pure pop vibes that "Enjoy..." really takes off. "Revolution In The Summertime" is perfect sunny-day listening, "Sometime" is the best song Teenage Fanclub have never written, and "The Loser" is catchier than a cactus. These guys have clearly got hooks coming out of their ears and most of the verses here are more memorable than most bands' choruses. They simply are that good. It's unlikely that "Enjoy..." will sell millions of copies and make CRRs the household names they clearly deserve to be, but if you like joyful, life-affirming, summery guitar pop, and have ever found yourself grinning inanely at the sound of Big Star's "September Gu rls", TFC's "Sharky's Dream" or the Stone Roses "Waterfall", then this CD will end up welded to your CD player for weeks on end. Enjoy indeed.

R. Stevie Moore - Delicate Tension (1978) @320
From the AMG: R. Stevie Moore's first album upon moving to New Jersey and immersing himself in the burgeoning New York new wave scene, 1978's Delicate Tension is quite a leap from 1976's Phonography, both in style and execution. Where Phonography has a definite progressive rock feel, Delicate Tension is dominated by short, punchy power pop rockers like the breathless, witty opener "Cool Daddio," the sly McCartney-like bounce of "Schoolgirl," and the sarcastic Ramones blur of "Apropos Joe." Elsewhere, Moore's instrumental arsenal (as before, he plays every instrument himself with the exception of about half a dozen drum parts and the flutes on the anguished "You Are Too Far from Me") expands to include an adorably rinky-dink electric piano on "Funny Child" (which sounds as if the Residents had suddenly decided to write a late-era Monkees song) and more synthesizers, which underpin forward-looking early synth pop experiments as varied as the ghostly "I Go into Your Mind" and the frantic voice-modified robo-bop "Horizontal Hideaway." However, even with all these modern accoutrements, Moore still isn't interested in making it easy for himself. In 1978, when the "disco sucks" backlash was making casual racism fashionable, Moore wrote an explicitly anti-racist faux-disco song, muddying the waters (and possibly obfuscating his honorable intent) for listeners by deliberately giving the song the shock title "Don't Blame the N-----s." That piece of social commentary aside, Delicate Tension is an album of surprising emotional depth. Most of the songs were written in the aftermath of a particularly bad breakup, and along with Moore's usual surrealism and snarky one-liners, songs like the acoustic ballad "Norway" and the simply lovely, Todd Rundgren-like "Zebra Standards 29" have the startling immediacy and plainspoken beauty of a late-night conversation over several empty wine bottles. Best of all, the album's sound is an enormous improvement over the extremely lo-fi Phonography; it stands next to Roy Wood's Boulders, Something/Anything?, and McCartney as one of the best one-man-band albums of the '70s.
___
This download consists of the newly remastered version of the original Delicate Tension album, plus a whole lot of absolutely spectacular bonus tracks, including the "Stance" EP. They bonus tracks double the length of the original album and they are all essential listens- I think overall they might even surpass the album itself!
The download is in two parts, but you can unpack them seperately (i.e., they're not a .part1 and a .part2).
Get the first half here.
Get the second half here.
And visit rsteviemoore.com if you're so inclined... he's got literally dozens of other albums worth hearing!
Happy holidays!

The Brain Police were one of the relatively few psychedelic groups to emerge from San Diego in the late '60s, recording an unreleased album and single in 1968-1969 before splitting up. They played psychedelic rock with hard rock and baroque pop influences. After recording the unreleased album and failing to land a major-label contract, the frustrated band broke up at a local gig in which they opened for Steppenwolf. This unreleased LP was reissued on CD by Normal/Shadoks, as were songs cut for a 1969 single and poppier 1964-1966 cuts from singles by the Man-Dells and the Other Four (bands that Brain Police songwriters Norman Lombardo and Rick Randle played in prior to 1967).

Beasts From The East
After the great Battle of the Garages post here's another one from Voxx records. Includes 8 bands from the middle and eastern US, with a bit harder garage sound than the previous compilations. Most of them were active in the 80s, and a few (Dwarves, Cynics, Time Beings) 'till today.
From Voxx press release:
Compilation of bands from the eastern part of the country who arrived just a bit too late for our Battle of the Garages series. Compiled by Timothy Gassen (Marshmallow Overcoat & Knights of Fuzz author) and featuring some of our most gloriously colorful, exotic, oriental artwork, the album includes hard to find tracks by The Dwarves, The Cunts, The Endorphins, The Time Beings, The Skeptics, The Libertines, Green, and The Cynics. It's not all garage/grunge; some of the bands like The Skeptics, Libertines and Green have a decidedly pop approach.
Libertines - Everybody Wants To Be My Sister / Black Garage Door
Endorphins - Amazon Wood
Time Beings - Why Don't You Love Me / Spend Your Life
Skeptics - The Ghost of Abraham Lincoln / What Can I Do
Green - She's Not a Little Girl Anymore / Something About You
Cynics - Waste of Time / Let Me Know
Dwarves - Underwater
Cunts - Apocalyptic Breakfast / There Are Electrical Filaments on My Hamburger

R. Stevie Moore - Phonography (1976) @320
Review from the AMG:One of the most unique albums of the 1970s, R. Stevie Moore's debut long-player is an uncategorizable mess that somehow keeps from falling apart completely, kind of like a one-man band version of the Beatles' White Album cross-pollinated with late-1960s Frank Zappa at his most antic. Yet just as the album seems hopelessly self-indulgent and bizarre, Moore suddenly veers into some of the sweetest and catchiest pop songs of the pre-punk '70s. That dichotomy is what makes Phonography special. Recorded in bits and pieces over the course of two years of living room sessions, with Moore playing and singing every part, barring the tambourine on the Soft Machine-like opening instrumental "Melbourne," the album shares much with such one-man band predecessors as McCartney, Todd Rundgren's Something/Anything?, and Roy Wood's Boulders. However, having been made on a cheap four-track with one microphone, a borrowed guitar, and no mixing deck, Phonography also has a funky lo-fi charm that anticipates post-grunge D.I.Y. savants like Guided By Voices and Pavement. The album is split down the middle between quirky but capable pop songs and strange interludes. Of the former, "Goodbye Piano," a falsetto music hall ditty that suggests a major Bonzo Dog Band fixation, is among Moore's most famous tracks, but it's the more serious tunes, like the beautiful Brian Wilson-inspired ballad "I've Begun to Fall in Love," the bouncily Beatlesque "I Want You In My Life" and the trippy "Showing Shadows," that are more indicative of the artist's estimable skills as a songsmith. The spoken word interludes are uniformly surreal, with the Harold Pinter-like talk show parody "The Lariat Wressed Posing Hour" a particular highlight, but the album is organized to such an off-the-wall blueprint that it's impossible to imagine it without even its most inexplicable elements. Originally released in 1976 in an edition of 100 copies, Phonography was reissued in 1978 and again in 1998 on a limited-edition CD featuring eight bonus tracks recorded during the same 1974-76 sessions.
R. Stevie Moore is, in my opinion, a genius musician of the highest order. He has recorded literally hundreds of one-man-band albums and composed some of the most impressive pop tunes you've never heard. This album is a good place to start, but he has many many more, equally wonderful if not actually better. I can't recommend this one highly enough!

The Yankee Dollar - 1968 - s/t
The legendary 1968 US psych album . A fine example of the West Coast psychedelic flower power sound with male and female harmonies, beautiful fuzz guitars and very trippy keyboard work. Excellent originals(pay attention to the amazing "If In Swimming") are combined with covers of "Catch The Wind", "The Times They Are A-Changing" and "Let’s Get Together". A 'must-have' for West Coast fans !

08 - Feel So GoodCactus may have never amounted to anything more than a half-hearted, last-minute improvised supergroup, but that don't mean their eponymous 1970 debut didn't rock like a mofo. The already quasi-legendary Vanilla Fudge rhythm section of Bogert and Appice may have provided the backbone of the band's business cards, and soulful, ex-Amboy Duke Rusty Day brought the voice, but it was arguably former Detroit Wheels guitarist Jim McCarty who was the true star in the Cactus galaxy, spraying notes and shredding solos all over album highlights such as "You Can't Judge a Book By the Cover," "Let Me Swim," and, most notably, a manic, turbocharged version of "Parchman Farm." The fact that Cactus chose to tackle this classic blues song just a year after it'd been blasted into the fuzz-distortion stratosphere by Blue Cheer betrays — at best — a healthy competitive spirit within the early-'70s hard rock milieu, and at worst it suggests something of a mercenary nature to Cactus' motives, but that's an issue for the surviving bandmembers to duke it out over in the retirement home. And we digress — for the blistering closing duo of "Oleo" and "Feel So Good" (complete with bass and drum solo slots) easily certifies the Cactus LP as one of the best hard rock albums of the then brand-new decade, bar none. Too bad the illustrious members of Cactus would quickly lose interest in this band project and deliver increasingly mediocre efforts in the years that followed.

Churchill's - 1968 - Churchill's
Excellent psychedelic album from Israel, later they became Jericho (Jones)
The Band
Robb Huxley - Guitar, Vocals
Miki Gavrielov - Bass
Haim Romano - Guitar
Stan Solomon - Vocals
Ami Traibetch - Drums
The eponymous 1968 album by Israel's Churchills is one of the most sought-after records in the world. While some rare records go for hundreds of dollars, an original copy of The Churchills is likely to fetch thousands. Why? Because not only is it next to impossible to find, but The Churchills is one of those rarer-than-rare records that actually lives up to its reputation. From the opening bars of the first song on Side One, "Open Your Eyes" - an explosion of ecstatic screams and fuzz, "faces, lips and teeth and eyes; diamond rings and pretty things, and arms and legs and thighs" - you know this is going to be one amazing trip.
Track after track the album continues to astonish, delivering everything from electrifying psychedelic rock to evocative pop ballads with equal degrees of skill and originality. Soulfully delivered vocals, searing fuzz guitars, spacey sound effects, exotic Eastern flourishes - the Churchills use a dazzling palate of tones and colours, stretching the primitive Tel Aviv studio technology of the day to its limits to create one of the most brilliant psychedelic albums from anywhere in the world, let alone Israel. Although there's elements of the Yardbirds, Cream, Hendrix the Doors, and the Jefferson Airplane (especially the studio trickery of After Bathing At Baxter's), the sound of the Churchills is very much their own personal vision - a distinct blend of East and West that is unmistakably from their own corner of the world.
Although their album, non-LP singles and subsequent releases as Jericho Jones and Jericho have since been reissued, the story of the Churchills has never before been properly told, until now

The Music Machine were renamed the Bonniwell Music Machine when they went to Warner Bros., as the original lineup disbanded at some point, leaving only chief singer and songwriter Sean Bonniwell. Much of the material on Warner, however, was recorded by the original group, and this album was pasted together from some singles (some of which had appeared on Original Sound in 1967) and other tracks, both by the original incarnation and a second outfit that was pretty much a Sean Bonniwell solo vehicle. Accordingly, the tone of the album is pretty uneven, but much of the material is excellent. In fact, some of the songs rate among their best; a few are also found on the Rhino anthology, but other first-rate tunes ("Bottom of the Soul," "Talk Me Down," "The Trap") are not. Some of the cuts (presumably those recorded after the first lineup broke up) find Bonniwell branching out from psych-punk into a poppier and more eclectic direction, sometimes with very good results, sometimes not. Long out of print and difficult to find, the entire album is included on the Sundazed CD reissue Beyond the Garage, meaning that it's no longer necessary to search for an original copy. ~ Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide
Even better than the first album, with my number one fav Music Machine song, "Bottom of the Soul". A slightly different sound than the first album, different musicians and all that, but still Sean Bonniwell at his peak of genius. A generous handful of all-time rock masterpieces on this album and the weaker tracks are still pretty darn good. An extremely essential album alongside the first one. As many truly great songs as just about any other rock album. ~Michael Anton Parker

The Untold Fables - 1985 - Every Mother's Nightmare (garage punk)
My name is Paul Carey. Back in the '80s (May 1984 to February 1988 specifically) I was the lead singer for The Untold Fables. The other Untold Fables were Jon Niederbrach on guitar, Robert Butler (later of The Miracle Workers) on bass, and Paul Sakry on drums. Although we were mainly associated with the mid-'80s LA Psychedelic/Garage revival scene that grew out of a club called The Rave Up, and later moved to Greg Shaw's Cavern Club, our music also included strong influences from '70s Punk and '50s Rhthym & Blues.
Our first release, a remake of "I Try" by The Young Tyrants, was for VOXX Records' Battle Of The Garages Volume 3 (which is now available on the Battle Of The Garages Part Two CD). In Spring of '85 we recorded our first LP, Every Mother's Nightmare, for Lee Joseph's Dionysus Records at West Beach Studios in LA. Lee Joseph produced it with a lot of input from Robert, and sound engineering by Brett Gurewitz (Bad Religion). The album was finally released about a year later.
n Summer of 1986 and Spring of 1987 we had two more recording sessions, this time at South Coast Studios in Santa Ana (where both No Doubt and the Offspring recorded demos before anyone knew who they were) with my brother, David Carey, producing. Eleven songs from these session were later compiled for our second LP, Aesop's Apocalypse, that was released in early 1989 about a year after we split up. The two LPs may still be available from Dionysus's Mail Order department. Over the course of our four years together we had the pleasure of playing with great bands of the time like Redd Kross, The Dead Milkmen, Thee Fourgiven, The Unclaimed, The Telltale Hearts, The Morlocks, The Pandoras, The Beguiled, Yard Trauma, Lazy Cowgirls, The Red Devils, John Doe, and many others. Currently the four of us are working with Lee to compile a CD collection of Untold Fables tracks from our various vinyl releases as well as a few unreleased live and demo tracks.

MARSUPILAMI were an English proto-prog outfit who relocated to the Netherlands. The complexity of their music is quite unusual for the times – we’re talking 1970 here, when the big guns such as YES, GENESIS and CRIMSON were barely coming out of the woodwork. A mixture of blues, experimental jazz and hints of folk, their music is often dark and foreboding, favouring perilously complex structures. Try to imagine a mixture of KING CRIMSON, JETHRO TULL, the STRAWBS and EAST OF EDEN.
Their two albums feature weird/oblique melodies and harmonies, lots of heavy keyboards, electric guitar and flute (at times purposely off key), with the drummer pounding on his skins as if his life depended on it. This is very early prog and you particularly feel this in the organ work, which has a typical early 70’s psych feel. Their second album, which features an additional member on flute and sax as well as the appearance of the Mellotron, is an ambitious concept album about the brutal culture of ancien Rome – quite a sordid affair, really, but well done. It has a slightly better sound than the first album although most progsters generally favour the first.
Fans of EAST OF EDEN or those interested in vintage prog will certainly want to check them out.

Here's a review from Lysergia.com:
Here's a review from Lysergia.com:
I would be very hard pressed to name a better private psychedelic LP than "Moonblood". Like the CA Quintet album this is that very rare thing, a concept album that works. Where the CA Quintet floods our minds with images of the various hells we create on earth, Fraction seize on the heaven we fail to create. I always feel my spine tingle when listening to this album, it never fails to astonish me. The vocalist Jim Beach sounds like he is undergoing agonized conflicts of faith, a righteous man, growling, snarling and finally screaming at a world where seekers after truth are downtrodden. The guitars are so overloaded with effects that they sound like a storm raging on the surface of another world. The drums have fantastic range, at times very delicate, at other times, pounding with raw energy. Every band member gives it all they have and all the songs were recorded as ‘one takes’. This really works as they sound very fresh and alive, like the band is playing right next to you. There is nothing righteous or preachy on the LP. You can feel the inner turmoil boiling over. The themes are broadly Christian, but with a very strong pagan element incorporated. The Son will come to birth and free Mother Earth. I find the lyrics deeply moving, spiritually uplifting and filled with apocalyptic vision: “Come out of her/ Come out of her/Embrace the Sons quiet warmth ever upward”. On the final track ‘This Bird (Sky High)’ Jim Beach is screaming the lyrics: “No clown on the ground/Tries to put me down/Since I found the Lord” Without the lyric sheet you could only guess at what he is saying, which only added to the mystery. ‘Eye of the Hurricane’ is amazing. Mind-bending lyrics spat and shouted over a haze of fuzz and wah-wah, it builds and builds to an impossible intensity, you wonder where else the vocal chords can go, the fingers of the guitar players must have been wrecked. The hazy image of the band on the front of the 1986 Austrian boot (which was the first reissue) showed a band that looked beyond cool, crazy shaggy burns, shades and leathers. They stare down at you like some crazed pack of angry bikers about to ink over your tattooes. “Extend your thumbs and burn the darkness out of her” -- indeed, Brother, indeed.

Guitarist and singer Steve Cataldo wrote all of the material for the group, which played psychedelia. . After Front Page Review broke up, Cataldo did a solo album for ABC, and then hitched onto the new wave by forming the Nervous Eaters, who made a couple of LPs. Front Page Review's album was finally unearthed for CD release in 1997.
