 The Things - 1986 - Outside My WindowOne of the more obscure bands of the Southern California paisley underground scene in the mid-'80s, the Things had three albums released in the mid 80s, two on Voxx and a third on Epitaph. You can find their first (Coloured Heaven, 1984) in Twilightzone, with a semi-negative review by R.Unterberger.
Certainly songwriter/singer/guitarist Steve Crabtree's chief musical inspiration was Arthur Lee, but he managed to make some truly inspired songs and to built a sound, which could distinguish them from the mass. In 'Outside My Window', their best record, Things weren't the craze... |

Stephan Micus - 1976 - Archaic Concerts
Virgin records (Caroline UK) C 1517
Tracks :
A Concert for Gender, Shakuhachi, and Zither (18:40)
B Concert for Angklung, Acoustic Guitar, Rabab, and Zither (17:45)
The first Micus album and the only one which is not available on CD (as far I know)
Born in 1953 in Germany, Stephan Micus made his first journey to the
Orient at the age of sixteen. Fascinated by the variety of musical
cultures around the world Micus has travelled in virtually every Asian
and European country as well as in Africa and the Americas. Studying
with local master musicians he learned to play numerous traditional
instruments, many of them unknown in the Western world. However,
Micus‘s intention is not to play these instruments in a traditional
manner, but rather to develop the fresh musical possibilities which he
feels are inherent in them. In many of his compositions, which he
performs himself, he combi... |

 The Mooseheart Faith Stellar Groove Band, sometimes known as Mooseheart Faith, is (was?) a Los Angeles based rock band blending 1960s folk rock and psychedelia, 1970s space rock and progressive rock and a variety of influences from world music and jazz. The core of the band is autoharp player and sometime bassist Todd Homer, formerly of the punk band, The Angry Samoans and guitarist Larry Robinson, formerly of 1970s teen pop/soul group Apollo, along with a variety of other individuals.
This is their 88 debut release, issued on DeMilo recs (LP, DM-1). Rock n roll psychedelia from their weird and wonderfull cosmos with melodies that will linger in your mind. They released 4 more LPs/CDs and a few 7" (two with Crawlspace), equal or better than 'Golden Light'. They were active untill late 90s. Today on their homepage there's only an announcement that ... |

Bucketfull of Brains: This album is so good, mere words won't do it justice. Through a dense psychedelic wall of sound emerge melodies and lyrics of intricate beauty, and surprisingly powerful songs with an endearing naivete. Initially, the intensity of sound and extended arrangements are difficult to penetrate, but perseverence pays off. The barrage of effects is not there to conceal any inadequacies, rather they begin with great songs which develop into a compelling electrical confusion.It's hard to find any bad tracks, but certain ones stand out above the others. "Step Upside Down" at the start of side one is a psychedelic classic, as you'd expect with a title like that. "My World Dies Screaming" is also as good as you'd imagine. But the hidden gem is "All Over Me" which is easy to overlook, with ethereal vocals over a beautifully understated backing. I can't recommend this album highly enough. It's my favourite amongst lots...

 The year was 1983 when the Green Pajamas germinated in the minds of Joe Ross and Jeff Kelly after they met at a party and discovered a common interest in 60's psychedelia. With the Los Angeles "paisley underground" music scene of `83 spinning at full tilt, our fab duo decided to start a similar scene in their home town of Seattle. By spring of 1984 they had recorded and released a homemade cassette called Summer of Lust described by one U.K. journalist as "British-style psychedelia similar to Dukes of Stratosphear but moreoff-center and less pastiche". Tom Dyer heard something in Jeff's songs and signed the Pajamas to his Green Monkey record label in their native Seattle, despite the fact that Jeff's fabric of choice, paisley was immediately swallowed up by a sea of flannel. Microscopic quantities of the first four GPJs releases trickled out, some in cassette only versions, giving new meaning to the term "limited edition." After 1989 'Ghosts of Love' the Green Pajamas went on hiatus and Kelly issued the solo LP 'Co...

 The best review for this comes from Dimitri T.Shepilov, Editor in Chief
of Pravda, in the 50s: "All this nervous and insane Boogie Woogie are
the wild orgies of cavemen...devoid of all elements of beauty and
melody...representing an uncontrolled release of base passions, a burst
of the lowest feeling and sexual urges."

Two very rare funk-soul albums (on one disc) which George Clinton's Parliament were the backing band as Ruth Copeland was an integral part of the early 70's band. Copeland effortlessly blends soul, funk,blues, psychedelia and acoustic material onto these albums. The second album 'I Am What I Am' had an incredible version of the Stones classic 'Gimme Shelter'.

 First and last release of this acid-punk outfit from North Hollywood. It was released by the greek label Hitch-Hyke Records in LP (LIFT-003). Who knows what's the story behind this release... Hidden Peace had previously appeared in the Battle of the Garages vol.III compilation of Bomb/Voxx records.
Line-up
Paul S.Halbe - gtr, vcls
John Gleeson -drms
Ricky Hart - rhythm gtr
Dez Hernan -bs
Deanne - tambourine
Don't know anything else about them, didn't find any trace of Paul Halbe who apparently was the leader and wrote all the songs. As the for the music, if you listen to it along with 60s garage/psyche groups, you wouldn't tell the difference. Fuzzed guitars, Seeds, Standels, Fuzztones influences, and good songwriting and playing make this record worth a listen!
SIDE A
Summer Of Love
Stop It
Peacemaker
I Still Send Her Flowers
Acid Rain
In The Beginning
SIDE B
