Huge and just about perfect compilation of psychedelic drone and space rock, first released as a box set of 3 LPs and later thankfully reissued as a more affordable double CD by
Drunken Fish. Songs by
Bardo Pond (one of my favorite things they've recorded, a loping mantra of fuzz and green smoke),
Flying Saucer Attack at the height of their powers, an extended Berlin-School-informed zonk by
Jessamine, typically lovely washed-out solo guitar reveries by
Roy Montgomery (of
The Pin Group) and
Loren MazzaCane Connors (who probably influenced everyone on this album), and a big finish from the incomparable
Charalambides. Loud guitars, stoned bliss.

If you don't know this then you don't know that you need it.
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty close to perfection.
How good is it? I bought the vinyl box-set and then three years later I bought the CD reissue so I could listen to the music whilst hugging the vinyl.
It's THAT good.
Thx, I remember this one. Never got to hear it.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteSounds promising! Haven't listened to Charalambides for a long time, thanks very much!
