    This 40-years old record seems to have passed the test of time: not that it sounds "modern" today, but it has this 'classic' touch that we see in music made with honesty, love and joy.

    "House of Glass" is the impressive opening track, full of tension and convincing vocals over a 13 Floor Elevators style music, "Born In the USA" is an almost straight R'n'B track, complete with harmonica (but it sounds a little phony and out of place), "Once Again" and "Sometimes You Wander" are nice soft-pop tunes (California style), "The Means" is an excellent hallucinogenic flying into the Beatles territory, "Do You Remember" is not far from Pearls Before Swine. "I Want To See My Baby" is a much more successful attempt on the psyche/blues style than "Born in the USA", with a nice fuzz guitar, reminding "Death Sound Blues" of Country Joe & The Fish, "Lady Blue" is basically a straight rock song, besides the psychedelic arrangement. Then we have the organ-based "Passage #17", the country-pop "Mr.Happy...

    Fourth volume of the Maidens series and the concept has slightly changed: I've expanded the time range from the 60s until today, because the more I'm listening to these songs the more amazed I become from the fact that there are literally no great differences between the classic voices of the past and the promising voices of today, and the feeling of the music remains the same, in the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s or 00s.

    01 Penelope Houston - Harry Dean (Birdboys, 1989) The best possible opening track, "Harry Dean" is from Birdboys, a record that should be considered among the classics, along with Balaklava, Goodbye & Hello or Sunshine Superman. Unfortunately it is not, but if you decide to search for an album out of this series (including past or future volumes) try this. I thought that it was out of print, but Penelope is selliing it. Absolute, perfect beauty.

    Maffitt & Davies - 1968 - The Rise and Fall of Honesty

    (Capitol ST2999)

    Tracks :
    1 Just Like A Woman 5:04
    2 Landscape Grown Cold 4:06
    3 Big Time Man 2:30
    4 Kingswood Manor 3:52
    5 Time Of Towns 3:53
    6 Forest Lawn 3:14
    7 Tom Thumb's Blues 5:25
    8 City Sidewalks 3:18
    9 You'll Never Know 3:57
    10 Lungi Dal Caro Beni 2:37

    This is a case of an album that is better than the Common People and in a much better sleeve, but one where "Subtle" and "delicate" are the words to sum it up and not the heavy freak out you'd expect from the insane cover art of the duo amidst armageddon and a haunted house. With nearly all the songs cover versions including two by Dylan, but most old country standards you are instantly surprised when you hear what is done to the songs. The music on this record is very soft and extremely ancient sounding folk-psych with slight countr...

    Although he only issued one single ("Never Mind"/"I'll Be Looking out for You" [EMI, 1967]), which sold poorly due to "Penny Lane"/"Strawberry Fields Forever" being released on the same day, Elli continued to record demos throughout the rest of the '60s. His plaintive, slightly accented voice and gentle arrangements that sat somewhere between the Beatles and the Zombies have gained a wealth of admiration since Dig the Fuzz records released a mini-album consisting of his single and acetate recordings in 1999.

    Elli Meyer was born in Calcutta, India, in 1946, and moved to England during the swinging '60s to start work as a painter and decorator. As early as 1962, he was involving himself in the burgeoning music scene and began to sing in the local London group the Eagles, who went on to record for Pye. He then formed the Nutrons, but walked out to join the Madhatters (who had ...

    In their native Canada, Allan Fraser and Daisy Debolt are revered in the folk world by those lucky enough to have seen them perform. They influenced other musicians mostly from their live performances, not their recordings, and if it's true that they were even better live than on this LP, I'll gladly trade the entire "F" section of my collection for a video
    . (Aaron Milenski, Lama Reviews)

    Yes, Fraser & Debolt are a part of the folk history, although they were never famous, not even in the underground or folk circles. They released two LPs, on titled "Fraser & Debolt with Ian Gunther" in 1971 and "With Pleasure" two years later. It's very difficult to find another duo based on lead and harmony vocals, singing with more joy, so full of the life, the love and the music they were making.
    You can find a lot of reviews if you search a little, but all of them are about their first LP (you can find it ...

    I'll be away for vacations for the next 3 weeks....
    During this time we will continue our usual posting, but l 'll think very seriously if I want to continue with this blog/site...

    In the past months we did some hard work that seems none (or at least most) of you don't appreciate.
    I'm talking about comments....

    We have made 400 posts (new & re-posts) since the day that we open the new LiT...but the number of comments is smaller than the posts!
    There is about 1000 visitors per day...new post have about 50-100 views the first day...I can understand that maybe you don't find the posts interesting, but I cannot understand those who read the posts and download the music and just sneak out without a trace.

    Recently we discovered that not only you don't bother to leave a comment here, but some of you,  right after you download and listen some rare and long lost record from Lost In Tyme, (i.e. made available for the first time in this blog), you go a put a rating or even a review in Rateyoumusic entry for this record!- you can check how the rating and reviews are multiplying after the date of post of this record in LiT.

    A well constructed heavy-psych album from a Chicago trio, with meaty guitar riffs and full organ sounds. This kind of music was done to death in the early 70s, but "Bangor Flying Circus" was made in 1969 and it's still fresh and innovative. The extended use of organ does not make this "prog" and the guitar solos have been kept to acceptable legth. Last but not least, the vocals are human and "physical" and not the 'masculine' groan of the later attempts. It's a very well balanced album and worths a few listens at least.
    Formed by an ex-H.P.Lovecraft member, there are elements of Lovecraft's music here. You can find a little Vanilla Fudge, a little Lothar & The Hand People, a little jazz and plenty of perfect communication between the three musicians.

    Tracklisting:
    A1 Violent Man
    A2 Come on People
    A3 Ode to Sadeness
    A4 Concerto for Clouds
    B1 A Change in Our Lives
    B2 Someday I'll Find
    B3 Mama Don't You Know (That Your Daughter's Acting Mighty Strange)
    B4 In the Woods
    B5 Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)

    Blow Pops - I know Nancy/Stop (Get Hip GH-126, 1990)

    Two sides of anglophile psychedelia, delivered by John Francovic of Plasticland (who was the producer of this single). Blow Pops were the band of Mike Jarvis and Tim Buckley (real name?) from Milwaukee (I bet gomonkeygo knew them in person ;-)) and "I Know Nancy" deserves a place in any compilation of vibrating-multicolored-ornamented psychedelic songs from any era.

    Early seventies private press from New Jersey.

    Experimental rock music with electronic drums (an early drum machine - the Maestro).
    A very primitive affair; sounds like it was recorded live in a basement.

    Great Korean psyche jam!
    Korean guitar god and his band the Donkeys. Superb, little-known psychedelic music. Superb exploratory tracks packed with organ and fuzz.

    This group leader is Shin Jung Hyun who was a Korean rock godfather!!   He played guitar at American 8 army show for long time before he organized this group. And he was influenced by Psychedelic music of Jimi hendrix, Jim Morrison etc.

    Tiny Lights

    Prayer for the Halcyon Fear (1985)
    Hazel's Wreath (1988)
    Hot Chocolate Massage (1990)

    Three albums by New Jersey's almost completely forgotten wonder-band - Tiny Lights.

    From Wikipedia:

    Tiny Lights was a music group formed by John Hamilton and Donna Croughn in 1985. Original members include Dave Dreiwitz, Jane Scarpantoni and Andy Demos. Based in Hoboken, New Jersey, the group released a total of seven albums, two of which were later released on Psychic TV's Temple Records. From 1988 to 1994 Tiny Lights toured the United States extensively. Other members include Stuart Hake (cello), John Mastro (drums), Catherine Bent (cello), Andy Burton (piano, organ), and Ron Howden (drums--formerly the drummer for Nectar).

    The group's members employed a rich array of instrumentation, including cello, electric violin, s...

    As Camera Obscura noted : "A sampler of the biggest hits off our first 10 releases, plus five previously unreleased tracks for the collectors out there...Sleeves are laser-printed on parchment-style paper folded with the disc and probably in a poly bag with a handful in jewel cases. Art by Timothy Renner of Mourning Cloak/Stone Breath and Terrastock I and II poster and t-shirt fame."
    I must add that this came out in 1998, in 500 numbered copies and is now a collector's item.
    As for Camera Obscura, ten years later is the most established and active label in this genre.
    You can visit Camera Obscura's great site, listen more songs from their catalog and buy Serotonin Ronin II (while still in print!)

    There's no need to tell you much about the music - what you get is some of the best modern-day psychedelia that will make you say "How wrong I was to believe that they don't make it like they used to"

    Track listing:

    1 Alchemysts "Forget About It"
    2 Salamander...

    ....an exorcism of the Garage demons; "Havin' a Grunge-Fest with the Not Quite" (the word "grunge" hadn't yet become the property of the city of Seattle), a full LP's worth of straight-up garage rock. It's a blistered classic, and a damned shame that it never got released. (from Dark Lord Rob's page for Not Quite)

    A loud, fuzzed-out album, better played and recorded than their first (posted here), which was superb anyway...
    As you can read in the lengthy interview from Freakbeat #7 (1990) which can be found here, this was recorded for Resonanse label, but never came out, because it was too "garagey". Well, it's never too late to enjoy it!
    It contains Not Quite's originals, as well great covers of "Astronomy Domine", Clear Light's "She's Ready to be Free", and "Nobody Loves the Hulk" !

    For more on Not Quite and the recent adventures of Dark Lord Rob (including...
