| Wow ! Here is another GREAT epic adventure into spaceland kids !!! Sweden's Space gods "The Spacious Minds" have done it yet again...... Right from the opening track "Rider Of The Woodlands" you are transported into the creative space void of these 4 musical astronauts. Like all their music each song is given lots of space to unfold and develop and each time you listen to the music you will hear something new. To some I suspect the repetition of this music will lose their interest, but trust me deeper examination is required to really get the full effect of what they are doing. IMHO another amazing album and one that I would highly recommend to all fans of deep Space rock ! | |||
| Brace yourselves kids !! Zen Arcade is anything but an Arcade ! This concept album caught all the punk'sters off guard and is an album adored as much by the prog'sters, psych'sters and punk'sters. It is an album about an adolescent who runs away because his home life is unfulfilling, only to find the world outside is even worse. The album incorporates elements of jazz, psychedelia, acoustic folk, pop, and piano interludes, concepts previously unheard of in the world of hardcore punk. Zen Arcade is frequently cited on all-time best of's lists. While not commercially successful, the influence of Zen Arcade has stretched beyond the underground music sphere and has become a cult followed album. | |||
| in 1968 something happened to add another page in the book of music......The Byrds fused Country into Rock to create a sound that today is still being aped ! With so much turmoil in the band (exit of David Crosby in 1967) the Byrds were clearly in search of a new identity...and that they found however short (and sweet) it was with fellow musician Gram Parsons. The end result is the original mix of rock, Byrds-psychey twinge and the twang of country all mixed together. This is one of my personal favourite albums of the 60's and helped me form a real respect for Gram Parsons as well. Although not inteneded to be overly psychy when recorded, this album remains a real experiment and upon deep listening will reveal its psychy edges. | |||
| Rock music's first two-LP box set ! ..and an essential one at that ! "A Gift from a Flower to a Garden" was Donovan's 3rd UK album and represents one of the tasty milestones of the flower-power era. Donovan went back to a very soft acoustic vibe on this album and revealed some of the great stories of the 60's in process creating a real spacy acoustic atmosphere. | |||
| I first heard the Fuzztones about a year ago and ran out to snag this fine collection of their music on CD. If you dig the soundtrack music to 60's Batman then this album is your thing ! The Fuzztones are a creative fuzzed out band who totally dig the 60's psych garage scene and play songs in ode totally to this era. The music is loud and catchy as hell and is a really fun album to spin . | |||
| Now how did this album not get onto everyone's best of lists back in 2000 I will never know ! "The Devil" is an album that I have not stopped spinning since I got it. Huge grooves, spacey aura's, sitars, guitars, flute, wild percussion and ooodles and ooodles of spacey mayhem. Imagine a mix of Spacious Mind with the Ozric Tentacles and a bit Pink Floyd tossed in. The track "A Mind Bender" is a classic epic sized ditty with its "Echoes" groove. you can reach the band at "http://babelfish.yahoo.com/translate_url?trurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.stonerrock.com.mx%2Feldiablo.html&lp=es_en&.intl=us&fr=yfp-t-701" | |||
| Of Montreal are an acquired taste i suppose but this album just blew me away and represents one of the best albums of 2005! The Sunlandic Twins was the seventh Of Montreal album and is the perfect mix of Sunshine Psych and Pop for this music lover. As per most of the Of Montreal albums, Kevin Barnes continues in his style of toying and teasing our memories of '60s pop and psych. My CD came as a double CD set with a bonus 4 tracks from the Sunlandic Twins recording session. This music is bizarre and brilliant at the same time..... | |||
