...if'n this sounds like anything from th'late sixties its a cross between say, th'index from detroit with th'same echoed lo-fi basement noise 'n henry flynt, th'collegiate avant hillbilly with degrees in anarchistic theory, with a combination o'garage strum/surf twang/moanin' folk vocal all attemptin' to fuse into something new in a psychedelic groove...this is like primitive wasters gettin' flipped doin' some kinks riffs with heavy fx 'n overblown distortion buzzin' somewhat uncontrollably...this is cats makin th' NOW sound rock that they've been readin' about but ain't really heard much o'it, its their interpretation o' whats happ'nin' in 'enlighten'd' environs like frisco/LA...some snobs 'n culture vultures been puttin' this cat into th' 'outsider camp' with some o' those retardo-savants 'n general hucksters but this is far from th' truth...there's no idiot slop on show here, its just some layabouts groovin'n experimentin', th'fact that some o' this sounds as if'n it could have been recorded much later in time is just down to th'stone cold fact these cats were ahead o' th'game sound'n riff wise, they were lookin' forward in th'private NOW world with only a glimpse o' th' known past to guide them...they did get a record contract in 68 'n most o' this disk was meant for release but it all went moody'n th' chance for th'big time was over...

...have you grabbed an earfull of flynts 'i dont wanna' joint, that may be nearer the loose idea of rock'n'roll for these two artistes, both working outside the then accepted norms of 60's commercial underground...
