 Shirley Collins and the Albion Country Band
No Roses 

through Weird Brother

No Roses is an album by Shirley Collins and the Albion Country Band. It was recorded at Sound Techniques, and Air Studios in London, in the summer of 1971. It was produced by Sandy Roberton and Ashley Hutchings (Shirley Collins’ husband at the time). It was released in October 1971 on the Pegasus label. It is very unusual to have 27 musicians and singers on an album of traditional folk songs. It happened because people simply dropped in during recording sessions and were asked to join in. At the time, the most unusual sound was the hurdy-gurdy, now heard much more frequently. “The Murder of Maria Marten” is broken into segments, with a heavy-rock alternating with Shirley’s voice accompanied by a simple drone. Shirley had used a similar technique on “One Night As I Lay on My Bed” on “Adieu To Old England”.

Various Artists
Rutles Highway Revisited

through Rocket Remnants

The Rutles, in their original conception - a Rutland Weekend Television spin off called All You Need is Cash, a spoof documentary now considered to be pioneering and truly seminal (it’s still stands up well: funny, smart and wonderfully constructed) - soon gained cult interest, and on the back of the TV movie, several recordings were released; featuring Eric Idle (initially), Ricky Fataar (ex-Beach Boy [Holland period]), John Halsey (ex-Timebox, Patto, and acts far too various to mention), Ollie Halsall (ex-Timebox, Patto, Boxer, and again many many others), and at the helm, musical director and song writing genius Neil Innes (ex Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band and occasional Python).

You don’t necessarily have to know the recordings of The Rutles to appreciate this collection - although that does add something to the gratification of this product - but like all good cover versions the songs stand up very well on their own - no doubt in part as a consequence of reverence and homage - but the collection is still very strong throughout. When I listen to it I skip nothing; each song, no matter what the genre, compliments perfectly through its juxtaposition; creating a fantastic listening experience from beginning to end.

SPUNK
ORIGINAL VINYL EDITION
1977

through Power Pop Criminals

Spunk is the title of a bootleg album by a famous band, originally released in the United Kingdom during September or October 1977.

The album comprises studio demos and chatter recorded during 1976 and early 1977, while original bass player was still a member of the group. Most of the songs would later be re-recorded and officially released on the group’s debut album.

The original Spunk was itself copied and bootlegged immediately upon release. The tracks have since been re-bootlegged countless times in many different formats, including a widespread variant called No Future UK, which added three extra tracks, and many releases by Dave G., which often feature evidence of remixing or other post-production tampering. Spunk has also been the subject of several official releases.

Zoltán Jeney
Arupa / Fantasia Su Una Nota
 

through Twice Zonked!


Zoltán Jeney is one of the many innovative composers affiliated with Budapest’s New Music Studio, a highly versatile camp whose activities run the gamut from percussion pieces and chamber ensembles to various electro-acoustic excursions. Jeney’s works are fascinating both for his ear for unusual instrument combinations and for his unorthodox methods of composing. Often he leaves the manner in which the composition unfolds somewhat open-ended, allowing the performers to progress as they see fit. The two side-long pieces that comprise this album exemplify Jeney’s range of ideas and methods.

Joel Chadabe
Rhythms
 

through Continuo

♫ Rhythms was Chadabe’s 3rd LP release after Ideas Of Movement At Bolton Landingon Opus One in 1974 and Echoes/Flowers on CP2 Records in 1976. Recorded in 1980, Rhythms is a set of rhythmic variations for computer-generated sounds and live percussion – the computer’s live interaction with an acoustic instrument being the pioneering aspect of the record. Developed by Chadabe, the program is based on an original rhythm structure whose parameters can be modified by the composer, and able to interact with live sounds from percussionist Jan Williams – something Chadabe had already experimented in his duo with violinist Paul Zukovsky inEchoes/Flowers. Consisting in looped midi sounds, mellow rhythm patterns and light percussion interjections, the music on Rhythms isn’t radical or cutting edge as such – it can even, to some extent, function as musique d’ameublement, or furniture music. Midi sounds emulate glass or gamelan instruments, and rhythm programing often denotes exotic touches – Chadabe quoting Caribbean and African influences.

Phil Spector
Christmas Album 1963


from Mugre & Miseria

All Music Guide Review 
With a “Back to Mono” button adorning his long white beard, Phil Spector comes off looking like the manic St. Nick one would expect to see on the cover of a “Wall of Sound” Christmas album. His jacked-up look is often mirrored in this generously multi-tracked collection of Yuletide classics. Enveloped in a sonic morass of strings, horns, guitars, and percussion, Spector faithful like the Ronettes, the Crystals, Darlene Love, and Bob B. Soxx & the Blue Jeans give chestnuts such as “White Christmas” and “Winter Wonderland” a girl group makeover. Other highlights include Love’s “Frosty the Snowman” and “A Marshmallow World,” the Ronettes’ “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus,” and the whole crew’s version of “Silent Night.” One of the more distinct titles in the Christmas album catalog. [Initially released in 1963 as A Christmas Gift for You From Phil Spector] ~ Stephen Cook, Rovi

Timothy Leary
You Can Be Anyone This Time Around 

from The Red Hippie

You Can Be Anyone This Time Around is an Album which Timothy Leary made and organized in 1970. Timothy Leary was born in Massachusetts in 1920. Soon he entered a Military Academy with whom he had serious problems for breaking the law numerous times (for drinking contests and other assorted stuff) and after going to court and a full year being purposefully ignored by his colleges he was Honorably discharged. He moved to the Alabama University, and he studied continuously until receiving a Ph.D in Psychology by the University Of California. Afterwards he started working as a teacher in that same university, from where he ended up being expelled for being a proponent of Psychoactive drugs between the students. In 1960, after taking some psilocybin mushrooms in Mexico, he stated that he had learned more in those five hours about his conscious and Psychology than 15 years of studying. Upon his return to Harvard he established a research team on Psychoactive Drugs, starting a series of experiments on human beings. Allen Ginsberg (the Beat Poet and a famous underground personality) wanted to take part on the experience and also wanted to expand it, giving it to several people on the counter-culture. Leary was once again fired, and went to live in a mansion where he and a group of several people experienced Psychedelics until LSD was forbidden in 1966. I have not been able to find when this was recorded but it had some of the best musicians participating, for example, Jimi Hendrix, Stephen Stills and John Sebastian. Best Tracks - “You Can Be Anyone This Time Around”, “What Do You Turn On When You Turn On” and “Live And Let Live”. You Can Be Anyone This Time Around is truthfully one of the most interesting Albums i’ve heard in a while, half interesting for its music and half interesting for the speeches that are given. Some of the songs feature short samples of psychedelic acts, like Country Joe & The Fish and also some of the beginning verses of Ginsberg’s poem Howl.

The Personnel is not complete.
Timothy Leary (You Can Be Anyone This Time Around Personnel):  
Timothy Leary - Voice.
Jimi Hendrix - Bass.
Stephen Stills - Guitar.
John B. Sebastian - Guitar.

The Tuba Trio
Essence: The Heat And Warmth Of Free Jazz

from randall funk

The Tuba Trio’s Essence: The Heat And Warmth Of Free Jazz is a three volume set pressed in individual volumes by Circle Records in 1977. I found each volume in a bin at a local shop a while ago.

Each LP features long, free wheeling jazz tracks, performed by Joe Daly (tuba, percussion), Sam Rivers (saxophones, piano, voice, flute), and Warren Smith (drums, percussion). It’s a fantastic session - all tracks recorded live at the Bim Huis, Amsterdam, September 2nd, 1976.

The set is likely hard to find - I’d try the Discogs Marketplace for vinyl copies - but you might also click here for an mp3 download of two super long tracks (includes Side A of Vol. II and Side B of Vol. III).

Tracklist Vol. I A1 Part I - Instrumental Solo Of The Tenor Sax 3:20 A2 Part II - Instrumental Solo Of The Tuba 3:15 A3 Part III - Instrumental Solo Of The Drums 4:20 A4 Part IV - Group With The Tenor Sax - Dramatic Intrusion Of A Second Tenor Sax 11:10 B1 Part V - Group With The Flute 16:25 Tracklist Vol. II A Part VI - Group with the Soprano Sax 20:20 B Part VII - Group with the Piano, with a Tuba and a Drum Solo 19:30 Tracklist Vol. III A Part VIII - Group With The Tenor Sax 18:05 B Part IX - Drums Interlude - Group With The Piano 14:10 Drums, Percussion –

BURT WARD & THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION
The Boy Wonder Sessions (1966)

from Willard’s Wormholes 

Helmed by Freak Out producer Tom Wilson, The Boy Wonder Sessions began as a quick-buck 45 recorded by Burt Ward, a.k.a. Robin from the 60s TV show Batman. Originally taped in June 1966, “Boy Wonder I Love You” features Burt reading teenage fan letters (don’t miss the essential punch line) over a Frank Zappa written & arranged recordingwith some of the Mothers of Invention (listen for the “Duke Of Prunes” chord changes near the end). The B-side is a Nat King Cole hit, “Orange Colored Sky,” given a comic, Mothers-style “American Drinks And Goes Home” arrangement, again by Frank. Other tracks were recorded during the sessions, supposedly for a follow-up single (or for FZ’s own purposes) that were never released. One of the instrumental tracks, “Variant 1,” is extraordinary. Presumably written by Zappa, it would have fit nicely on Lumpy Gravy, even though the orchestration sounds straight out of the British TV show, The Prisoner (not broadcast until a year later).

The Flying Lizards
The Secret Dub Life of the Flying Lizards 

from Big Head Stevenson 


 The source tapes for this CD were recorded in Jamaica by Jah Lloyd (Patrick Francis) as part of a series he made for Virgin Records’ Front Line label. The original tapes were not released and were offered to me by Front Line’s Jumbo Vanrennen with the suggestion that I should ‘remix’ the music. I accepted the project, expecting lots of time in one of Virgin’s studios to play with the music and the equipment, only to be presented with a mono master tape of the music.So I began to invent (or perhaps re-invent) techniques of editing, looping, filtering and subtraction to deal with unremixable mono material (these were the days before samplers). the subsequent work took a long time; as I thought it might be something of an indulgence I only worked on it at weekends and evenings rather than let it interfere with other projects.The techniques used here expanded my vocabulary of musical electronic (as opposed to electronic music) treatments and appear in a very different form on records made at that time and thereafter, notably ‘Fourth Wall’ my collaboration with Patti Palladin and my production work on Michael Nyman’s records.The original players remain unidentified, Jah Lloyd used various combinations of musicians but did not indicate who played on which tracks.This year I added the ‘preface’ and ‘postscript’ using a similar approach as in 1978 but with the technology of 1995, partly to make the CD a decent length, partly to find out what effect a different technology would have, and additionally in recognition of the continuing influence this work has had on my approach to the recording studio.

Inside Star Trek
featuring Gene Roddenberry

from Record Fiend

(Columbia, 1976)

The record is primarily a spoken word affair, with Gene Roddenberry, the Great Bird of the Galaxy himself, serving as narrator and interviewer. At the beginning, he states, “Star Trek. How did it happen? When did it start? What are the people, the things we couldn’t say on television? What are the stories which haven’t been told? These are the voices of Star Trek, the way we think, some of what we think about, some of what we talk about in private.” In between the interviews and Roddenberry’s philosophical waxings are selections from an extensive speech that he had presumably given at a fan convention in which he describes what it was like dealing with the NBC television network while the show was in production.

Alain Saverot
Ballade Rustique

from Continuo

The son of a French professional violinist who played in a string quartet, French painter Alain Saverot was born in Sousse, Tunisia, in 1947. He traveled by foot across Central Africa in the 1960s and discovered African ethnic music and instruments – this LP’s cover image might be from this period. Back in France, he graduated from Dijon’s fine arts school in 1964. His paintings and drawings have been shown in various exhibitions in France and abroad since the mid-1970s – see official website. In 1982, Saverot published 2 LPs on artist-funded record company Le Kiosque d’Orphée, titled Tirage de Tête and Ballade Rustique

Trevor Wishart  
Sounds Fun!

from Aphelion Shelter

Trevor Wishart presents a series of compostional exercises as children’s games in this two volume set of workbooks. For instance, one game utilizes the structure of hockets to imbue competition, while another game asks each player to make a musical score by cutting and pasting images from magazines. One of my favorites, called “Bluebottle”, borrows an idea from R. Murray Shaeffer to create a musical game of tag. The book is cleverly designed with an entailment chart in the back of each book to show suggested ways one game can flow into another. Each game also includes suggestions to keep the “dropouts” busy - dropouts being those players who have had to leave the game for one reason or another.

Vladan Radovanović
Voice From The Loudspeaker 

from Continuo

Serbian composer, visual artist and theoretician Vladan Radovanović (b. Belgrade, 1932), is a Yugoslavian electronic music pioneer who established former Yugoslavia’s first electroacoustic music studio, the Radio Belgrade Electronic Studio in 1972.
Voice From The Loudspeaker is a conceptual text about the recorded voice, the magnetic tape medium and the loudspeaker’s reproduction of the recording. In its use of self-referential speech, it is somewhat comparable to Alvin Lucier’s I Am Sitting in a Room, save for the sound treatment.

Keith Hudson & The Soul Syndicate
Nuh Skin Up Dub

from Digital Diggers

[1979] 

Some albums have to be heard to be truly believed, and so it is with Keith Hudson’s Nuh Skin Up, the dub companion to his 1979 vocal album, ‘From One Extreme to Another’. The title signals a dub set, so far removed from anything else being produced in Jamaica (or anywhere else for that matter)

Squirrelbait
Motorola Cloudburst

from 7inchpunk

This record came as a free gift with some fanzine, I don’t remember which. It was released in the late 1980’s, but the recording on side one is from 1983. Side one contains the first two songs on Squirrelbait’s great first album, which was recorded in 1983, but never released.

The line up at that time was:

Peter Searcy — Vocals
David Grubbs — Guitar
Clark Johnson — Bass
Britt Walford — Drums

DAVID BEDFORD
The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner (1975)
from Willards Wormholes

“Narrated by Robert Powell this work was released by Virgin Records in 1975. Great album sleeve with a noteworthy credit being Mike Oldfield assisting on guitars. The album itself comprises of two parts, Rime Of The Ancient Mariner 1 & 2. Oldfield’s association with David Bedford went back to The Kevin Ayers and the Whole World band. While Oldfield was flexing his creative muscle and getting frustrated within the confines of that band he confided more and more with David Bedford and struck up a strong rapport with the keyboard player that lasted long after 1975.”

JOCY DE OLIVEIRA
A Música Século XX de Jocy (1959)
from Incomplete Tales of Several Journeys 

Jocy de Oliveira was one of the first avant-garde musicians in Brazil that would later lead to the tropicalia/psychedelia movement there throughout the 60’s and 70’s. She was a child prodigy at the piano and shared the stage with world famous composers like Stravinsky and Cage before she could drive. Her compositions have been played by orchestras across the globe. This first album is equal parts experimental, samba and spoken word.

BRIAN BRAIN
Unexpected Noises

(Secret Records BRAIN 1) 1980
from Die or D.I.Y.?

“Brian Brain is/was the amusing ‘nom de plume’ of one Martin Atkins (aided and abetted by Pete Jones, another ex- PiL bass player),the much abused drummer for PiL from ‘Bad Baby’ on ‘Metal Box’, to holding ‘Flowers of Romance’ together.(the password for the pil links is : http://phenagen.blogspot.com/) Having been sacked from Pil after the U.S. tour of 1980 to save paying his wages, Brian…er….Martin had to fill his spare time. The results were the first two Brian Brain singles, ‘They got me in the Bottle’ and ‘Another Million Miles’, and the album ‘Unexpected Noises’ (which incidentally contains both the singles),released on the 1st of August 1980;before being summoned back by Lydon for the ‘Flowers of Romance’ album. As it turns out, it’s a archetypical example of the DIY sound of 1980. Plenty of analogue monosynth, eccentric vocalising and tinny drum sounds. Everything including the kitchen sink has been thrown into each track, the only difference between this release and a cassette band is that the overdubs were obviously done on an 8/16 track recorder, but nevertheless an essential 80s DIY record. One can only wonder what conversation would ensue if Brian Brain ever met moronic label mates The Exploited at Secret Records offices? The mind boggles!…”

DNA
Last Live at CBGB’s
from Lucky Psychic Hut

“A live set from CBGB’s of the legendary no wave band with members Arto Lindsay, Tim Wright and Ikue Mori. Their approach was to take the already pared-down ethos of punk rock and strip it even further of ornamentation, including the dismantling of the rockish song structure. The tunes are raw, turbulent, disjointed, and short; many end before the listener begins to have a grasp on them. Lindsay’s strangled yelp of a voice is dominant here, his words a steady flow of everyday non-sequiturs. Interestingly, given his direction in ensuing years, he is already occasionally referencing the Portuguese of his Brazilian childhood. His studiedly naïve guitar technique is in full flower by this point, sounding like the bastard child of Derek Bailey. Wright and Mori provide what structural spine there is, the former alluding in several instances to Captain Beefheart bassist Rockette Morton, the latter pounding with joyous abandon. Hearing DNA was a cathartic experience for many musicians in the experimental New York scene of the early ’80s looking to combine the power of punk with avant-garde and improvisatory elements; album producer John Zorn cited them as an influence in the creation of his Naked City band, for example. While it’s impossible to recreate the atmosphere of the time, this disc goes a long way in demonstrating what the excitement was about. Recommended.” (Brian Olewnick @ allmusic)

STARSHIP BEER
Nut Music As Free As The Squirrels
from Dude Behind The Record Counter

A severely deranged upstate New York outfit who released this 1979 rollercoaster o’ Captain Beefheartian skronk-rock that is every bit as significant as it is ridiculous. The songs jump from Anthony Braxton solo-style “out”ings to impulsive MX-80 guitar seizures, with a singer (if ya wanna call him that) shouting semi-nonsensical tirades that sound like a really pissed-off Daniel Johnston. There’s enough unrestrained ESP label freedom and PUNK ‘tude here to make most improvisational fans and open-minded joes crap their pants. Hell, this shit was even cool enough to warrant a CD reissue on Atavistic’s Unheard Music series. With a title like “Nut Music As Free As The Squirrels”… how could ya go wrong?”

MCGOUGH / MCGEAR  
The Scaffold (1968)
from weird town stuff

McGough & McGear’s sole album is a witty delight, notable for both its occasional cool tuneful pop-psychedelic rock songs and more frequent blends of music and whimsical Liverpudlian comedy/poetry. Of the song-oriented tracks, “So Much in Love” is groovy circa 1967-68 British harmony pop/rock with touches of heavy rock psychedelia, while the satirical “Ex-Art Student” (with Jimi Hendrix on guitar) combines sunny pop verses with an extended freaky psychedelic break. “Basement Flat,” by contrast, is a funny take on a British pub-style sing-along, while McGough’s poem “Summer with Monika” bears similarity to outings by the Bonzo Dog Band and Monty Python.

The spoken bits are nicely embellished by eclectic folky and jazzy musical backups and background sound effects, and the sad piano ballad “Yellow Book” is indicative of their debts to British theatrical music traditions.

MANTRONIX
The Album
from cosmic hearse

The Album is the debut album by the hip hop and electro funk group Mantronix.

Mantronix was an influential 1980s hip hop and electro funk music group founded by DJ Kurtis Mantronik (Kurtis el Khaleel), and rapper MC Tee (Touré Embden). Mantronix underwent several genre (and line-up) changes during its 7-year existence (1984–1991), from old school hip hop to electro funk to house music, but the group is primarily remembered for its original, heavily synthesized blend of old school hip-hop and electro funk.

Kurtis Mantronik (Kurtis el Khaleel), a Jamaican-Canadian émigré, began experimenting with electro music in the early 1980s, inspired by early electro tracks like “Riot in Lagos” (1980) by Yellow Magic Orchestra’s Ryuichi Sakamoto. In 1984, while working as the in-store DJ for Downtown Records in Manhattan, Kurtis Mantronik met MC Tee, a Haitian-born, Flatbush, Brooklyn-based rapper (and regular record store customer). The duo soon made a demo, “Fresh Is The Word,” and eventually signed with William Socolov’s Sleeping Bag Records.

Mantronix’s debut single, “Fresh Is the Word,” was a club hit in 1985, reaching #16 on Billboard Magazine’s Hot Dance Singles Sales chart, and was featured on Mantronix: The Album which was released the same year. Mantronix’s efforts on Mantronix: the Album and its effect on early hip hop and electronic music is perhaps best summed up by music critic Omar Willey’s observation in 2000: “Featuring “Fresh Is the Word” and the new tracks “Bassline” and “Electro Mega-Mix,” Mantronix defined the new sound of electro-funk. Mantronik used a polyrhythmic style, similar to West African log drumming, but instead of acoustic drums, the rhythm would be carried by the combination of electronic drums, synthesizer, vocoder and/or synthesized voice over a bass line completely played on the synth. No samples of James Brown here. This was truly electronic music: spare, funky and immensely danceable, an homage and simultaneous extension of old-school hip hop’s electronic template that had started with “Planet Rock” in 1982. The feeling of Afrika Bambaataa, Grandmaster Flash, Kraftwerk and Neu all combined in Mantronik’s music. It was a neat tie between old-school and new jack, and Mantronix had the field to themselves. ” The influence of Mantronix: The Album is seen among other artists through the sampling of “Needle To The Groove” by Beck in the single “Where It’s At” from the 1996 album, Odelay (“we’ve got two turntables and a microphone…”), as well as, “Fresh Is The Word” by the Beastie Boys in the single “Jimmy James” from the 1992 album, Check Your Head (“for all the Blacks, Puerto Ricans, and the White people too…”) The Beastie Boys later sampled “Bassline” for the song “3 the Hard Way” on their 2004 album To the 5 Boroughs.

MERAVIGLIE DAPPERTUTTO #2

Some great recordings found on the seven corners of the internet and carefully selected by the Sistemi Audiofobici Burp staff. This time DJ Baba Giovanni Bauli selects four bootlegs and two hard to find misterious psychedelic objects

CAPTAIN BEEFHEART & THE MAGIC BAND / The Spotlight Kid Outtakes 1971 - 72 
from Shards Of Beauty

the complete remastered “Spotlight Kid Outtakes”, a staggering 5-disc set of unreleased heaven. In FLAC because it deserves it.

This collection is not a commercially available bootleg. It has circulated amongst a number of Beefheart collectors and can be downloaded via some select torrent sites. But as it’s such an important release I am making an exception and including the details of it here. At last all the outtakes from the productive 1971 and 1972 years have been gathered together in one place. Many of these songs and instrumentals have turned up on bootlegs over the years, and a couple have even been released legitimately but this is the first time they have been made available on one release. These outtakes, rescued from the Warner Reprise vaults, have circulated amongst collectors for many years in varying sound quality. But now we have good to excellent versions of all of them - these could only be bettered if the original tapes were dusted off and released (which is pretty unlikely!). What we have here are some glimpses into how some songs came about through lengthy jams by the Magic Band. Familiar riffs can be heard here before they were spotted by Don to be reworked and developed into a song we all now know and love. Some of the instrumentals are completed backing tracks that will now forever await Don’s vocal magic, some seem to be repetitive riffs, simple ideas, that don’t really go anywhere, others are the early versions of songs that would turn up several years later on Shiny Beast, Doc At The Radar Station or Ice Cream For Crow. Compiled by a committed fan this definitive collection of 41 outtakes has been put together from the best possible sources available. The original 3 CD set was circulated in 2005 - and was pretty quickly picked up by a bootlegger who pressed up some copies (see details of this Hiwatt release below). Since then it has been upgraded twice, once in 2006 and again in 2009 (now organised onto 4 CDs). Each time better or slightly different versions have been found, or new recording information has come to light.

GRATEFUL DEAD + BEACH BOYS / 
Live at Fillmore East, New York, NY;  April 27, 1971. Ex Soundboard stereo.
from bigO

”..Does anyone know how or why the Beach Boys were invited to guest with the Grateful Dead? This version was shared by self4 at Demonoid. Transfered and mastered by Matt Smith June 2011. Self4 thanks Bob Menke for the patch sources, Matt for his work and jpc3 for tagging the files. We like to thank self4 for his generous share of this rare performance between two very dissimilar bands and in such exceptional quality. Cover art by Trooper1212, posted at deviantart.com.”   

THE VELVET UNDERGROUND / The Legendary Guitar Amp Tapes
from Know Your Conjurer

“…I think Lou Reed’s best guitar playing took place in the 1960’s and this bootleg displays my point. It was made by putting a recording device inside Lou´s amp, so what we got basically here is the sound of Lou´s incendiary leads with the rest of the group kind of lost in the background. It’s a fantastic trip a must for you V.U. fans… Enjoy!”

JOHN BERBERIAN & THE ROCK EAST ENSEMBLE / Middle Eastern Rock
from Turkish Psychedelic Music!

“John Berberian is an oud virtuoso born in the United States to Armenian immigrant parents. In the 60s he made a series of albums combining elements of psychedelic rock, blues and jazz with more traditional oud-playing (the oud is most closely associated with Turkey these days, but it’s part of the musical heritage of lots of cultures from the Balkans throughout the Middle East). This one was recorded with the help of the guitarist Joe Beck.”  Verve Forecast 1969 - US  

GONG / Magick Brother
from Funny Rock God Knows

“Also known as “Magick Brother, Mystic Sister”, this is the first album to be considered a Gong album, though the only members to continue in the band would be Daevid and Gilly along with Didier Malherbe. It is a gem of an album, totally psychedelic. Free-flowing, loose arrangements with plenty of improvised moments, yet there is some structure to the songs for the most part… Daevid’s charming and naive songwriting is at the forefront. There are some minor jazz influences, hinting at the sound they would later take on. This album was entirely recorded on the sound channel of a hand-held movie camera, and yet it sounds great! It usually gets compared to Pink Floyd’s “Piper at the Gates of Dawn”. It is by far the most psychedelic of all the Gong oeuvre, and the loosest and least polished. Somehow it all works though. It could also be compared to the earliest Soft Machine days, which Daevid Allen was also a big part of.”  notes by nost-algae
