Yikes, this guitar is lethal. How can an album contain such incendiary shredding, and yet be so mellow? Seems improbable, but these guys hit on the right formula. You get hand drum propelled (almost afro-beat) jams, flamenco improvs, mellow guitar meditations, and a bunch of other weird shit. You know that episode of the Mighty Boosh when they are looking for "the new sound?" That's what this sounds like. There must have been a book of acid ingested when this was recorded. I refuse to believe otherwise. Grade A psych goodness if I've ever heard it.Here
I've got this on lp but haven't listened to it since I got it when it 1st came out, probably cut out. I'll give it a listen.
ReplyDeleteThanks
Hey Punk'O'Teca, you're added to the list.
ReplyDeleteViles, you still have that LP laying around? I accept gifts.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this.

Nice one. I'd only ever hear 'free to be stoned' from a later lp. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteViles,
ReplyDeleteReally appreciate the offer, but I was just teasing. And I no longer live in Chicago. It's West Virginia for now, but who know where I'll be in a couple of months.
Holly, that's a classic track. But this is the album I go to when I want some C & H.
ReplyDeleteyea but you beat me to this one, so we even :)still big pimpin in wes virginiers?
ReplyDeleteYeah, but hopefully I'll change career paths here in a few months and be able to move away. Seems unlikely at this point though.
