...first LP from these rockers kicks off with a funky rock number with lashings of organ and the whole thing spirals out from there...stonesian grooves flow through with other small embellishments here and there of anglo '67 psych mixed into the streamlined blues...chuck berry and howlin' wolf get some low down grease smeared over the grooves with tasty proto metal fuzz emanating from the

...one of those disks that continually popped up in bargain bins in the early 70's in the more hep urban locales and of course got snapped up by the more astute busto-crusto heads...this NYC combo is a mixture of some or all of the following styles then prevalent in '68 when this wax dropped: folkrock/psychfolk/baroquepop/avantrock/acidrock and yet at the same time its none of them as they

...this is jackie getting a funky groove on at the back end of '68, just in time for the newly emerging singer/writer phenomenon (the fact that she had been such an artiste since the late '50s didn't matter-this was new territory)...this is jackie 'grown up', no longer being seen as an irrelevant perveyor of teenpop/MOR songstress, jackie reaching for a new audience that might be waiting for a

...giving the cover of this early seventies bargain bin gem a look, cats can surmise this hippy was a bit of a free thinker when it came to satorial elegance, as its a given this cat thought the cult look would catch on with heads and rubes alike...the inside wax is pretty cool at trying to give out different vibes for different lobes, going from one style to another is no problem, it all sounds

...the new seven oh decade brought a new direction from tim as he embarked on a more avant jazz trip...this last recording for the once mighty elektra label see's a great slab of hep droning jazzbo explorations that took adventurous cats to a different level every time it was spun...another cool thing about this LP was the fact it was a cutout bin clogger for a couple of years so the perenial

...these low rent beer swillers got to finding their mystic home at the swampy intersection where R'n'B racket meets psychedelic heavy blues rock, the bilge pond that bubbles and gloops with septic festerings...stoner sludge choogle fueled on cheap acid and booze, these cats could easily induce a bad trip lasting a whole weekend when prolonged exposure at a frisco ballroom gig was happened upon

...this combos main claim to any and all fame seems to be they were part of a live 'art' gallery happening coming complete with a light show of the psychedelic persuasion at the windy city museum of modern art back in the day when things like that were allowed to come to fruition...this waxing is the soundtrk of that performance...its pretty much 6 longish tracks of frisco acid-ballroom folkrock

...although there's no perceivable psychedelic noises on this platter there is a definite influence of the post psych vibe to a couple of the numbers which mixes in a transitional move with the kind of semi tuneful hard rock and thud pop that make up this disk...the sort of racket that was going on in backrooms and cellar clubs the length and breadth of merrie olde england for a couple of years

...first thing a cats got to know about these disks is that the spirit of macca fab4ness looms pretty large and if that meets with approval on the chillometer then its a big A-OK as what's happening on these first two waxings from these cleveland anglo poppers is some looking back to go forward...they couldn't see any future in noodling stale acid rock and bolting good teen songwriting to some

...two great LPs from an eager bunch of teens who decided to get down with the new emerging prog form of rock, the musicianly melding of hard blues rock with jazz and left over psych and smoothed out to accommodate student audiences (the longer the genre lasts the more smoothed and sonambalistic it becomes) but in the interesting years of 69/70 spontaneous combustion got some major label studio

...jerry hahn and his quintet only got to make this one LP which certainly is a drag as its a real winner and it absolutely should have been a double wax, not just this 30 minute voyage into post-bop-gypsy-psychedelic-raga-belly-dancing jazzbo blowout...it all kicks off with some bop grooves and gradually moves outward to take in some fusiony flute, psych guitar twanging plus sone cool squeaky

...very cool archival release from lowell when he was a young stoner on the LA music scene during 1966 hanging with zappa and beefheart and kicking around some top folk rock grooves with touches of out there blues expression via the good captain...the title track of this compilation is a truly brilliant teenage take on the beefheart/howlin wolf vocal gymnastic shreiking, not too many have tried

...the first three tracks represent the avengers first single and for all intents and purposes this 7 incher is what their reputation is built on...arriving on the nascent frisco punk scene in '77 they blew the left over earth shoe hippys into yesterday with their incendiary performance...lyrics of self assertiveness and reliance showed they belong'd to no tribe old or new but were free thinkers

...black flag, one of the last truly important bands, not only important in a rock'n'roll way, but vital in a socio-politico sense, they took the truth out to the kids, turned on a generation that had been stifled by TV/government drugs/FMradio (frampton-nugent-eagles)...incredibly right on lyrics (police story/depession/no values) expressing the thoughts of so many caught up in the oppressive

...first off its got to be considered that this is one correctly titled LP, 'TRIP/FLIP OUT/MEDITATION', completely true and aint no cause for thinking otherwise, a three disk blowout of wiggy weirdness thats just ready for heads to dig, and dig mighty deep as this is a trip to inner space with varying routes for all who wish to get a ticket, a one way trip that'll be different and rewarding for

...the only LP to feature jimmy page was seen at the time as not as good as it could have been but looking back its a real nice effort from the changing times when '67 psych was giving way to a more heavy blues rock/early proggyness...there's some cool chamber sike with excellent guitar squeal on the title track followed by some groovy patented yardbird R&B, again with some pagey stringbending

...politically charged right on funked out horn rock was the order of the day from these super-bad brothers on their one and only platter released in '72 on the small but incredible 'today' label out from NYC...cool guitar and organ swells move in and around these heavy tales of modern urban life that proved too much for the intended audience and they had to call it a day under this name......

...this is a summing up of the ildjarn early days (92/4) with demos and unreleased gear that stretches for a full up two disk blowout...frantic guttural screaming in strict janov primal terms from the deep and lonesome basement that the true visionaries of rock'n'roll inhabit...as time goes ever on a cat must get to thinking that the real deal is only found in damp lost back rooms and cellars

...released in '69 this is a great LP full of promise for a jazz/rock fusion that had neither the jazz or rock too far to either side, in other words its creating a new entity, though not third stream, thats another kettle of fish...the whole thing kicks off with a groove straight out of london clubland with some heavy R&B splat from a couple of years earlier but soon the whole shebang is saying

...the cover of this disk was shot in the chelsea hotel in NYC and the sidewinders played some gigs at max kansas city, home of the dolls and jayne county but that's as far as decadence goes with this combo who much prefer the good honest AM pop radio approach to all things rocking and groovy...mixing in many many parts from the tapestry of six-oh pop/rock from surfing instro twang to merseybeat,

...there can really be no doubt in any cats mind that this is one heavy beatnik trip into the midnight world of secret jam sessions in the dimly lit basements far from the square world, this is a missive from the other place, that far away land where its all happening for those that understand the message, that get the vibe and take nourishment...the first number has a hallmark of B-movie

...cats who got a bit of a rush off the first LP will dig this offering which is some studio jams and workouts without all the studio trickery beloved by this combo...this is the stripped down sound that was the foundation on which some of the greatest 60s pop was built...thinking of this disk as the bones on which the flesh of exotica will hang is the way forward with this brilliance in waiting.

...coming out from texas these cats didn't sound like too many from their home state...theres an expansiveness to the sound of the recording that gives this an otherworld feeling, a world of carefulness and slow motion, a world where its all possible, a dream like state of trancendental gloopy bubbles...first side has some string arrangements by the cat who enhanced/ruined forever changes which

...taped at a los angeles radio station gig in late summer 82 this is the first and greatest incarnation of the dream syndicate, the only combo in the over-hyped paisley underground that understood the true meaning of psychedelic, they didn't blindly copy or play jangle power pop, they injected mind melting doom drones into a velvets chugging riff and overlayed some frayed buffalo springfield

...formed in 77 and after a single on the magnificent dangerhouse label they signed to slash records and put out this fantastic LP...one of the finest combos out of the cali punk explosion of the late seventies when styles of noise weren't yet codified, they managed to sound unlike most of their peers even though they had plenty of buzzing guitars because the tunes had words that told vignettes
