One and only album by this Houston, USA outfit. Some excellent hard rocking stuff here with some beautiful psychedelic touches. Originally released on Imperial records in 1969.

Former member of Japanese folk band Itsutsu No Akai Fuusen (5 Red Balloons), this was Takashi Nishioka's first solo album from 1973, some lovely tunes with psychedelic touches and a couple of minimal home recordings.
Review from Othermusic.com: Takashi Nishioka's Manin No Ki is surely one of the finest psych-folk singer-songwriter albums I've heard; if it weren't for the fact that it's sung in Japanese it'd probably already be in your collection. Nishioka has had a long and artistically successful and varied career of enough stature that he's been afforded a five-CD box set in Japan. He first came to public attention in the '60s as a member of Five Red Balloons, a group whose music was indebted in great part to the

This was the only full-length album released during the brief life-span
of the Creation, one of the few beat groups to rival the raw intensity
of the Who. (Guitarist Eddie Phillips, who committed violin bow to
guitar strings before Jimmy Page, was allegedly even courted by Pete
Townshend to become the Who's second guitarist.) This album, released
in 1967 on Hit-Ton, a label out of Germany, where the group enjoyed
immense popularity (a situation not mirrored back home in the UK),
consists of the singles and some uninspired choices of covers ("Cool
Jerk," "Like a Rolling Stone," "Hey Joe"). The group's criminally
under-appreciated sound is fueled by Phillips' clanging, melodic power
chords and feedback-drenched squalls, which show up most prominently in
the Creation's signature single, "Making Time." Other highlights on
this essential album for fans of Mod and British Invasion include "Try
and Stop Me," "If I Stay Too Long," "Biff Bang Pow," and "Painter Man."

would kill his birds then he would draw them - capturing their beauty
in death. Kryptasthesie has accomplished the same thing. "No Age" is
the last dying breath of one of Italy's greatest psychedelic bands.
Over all they have done over the years, THIS is the idealized statement
by this band. A large part of the success is singing in their native
Italian, which is truer to the band than earlier records that employed
English. I believe that language just is not a way of communicating
ideas but it also shapes your thinking. Thus, when the band previously
used English, it seemed forced whereas now the voca

One of the most important figures in contemporary British folk, Bert Jansch brought an unsurpassed combination of virtuosity and eclecticism to the acoustic guitar, both as a solo act and a key member of Pentangle. Also a talented songwriter and affecting (if gruff) vocalist, he wrote dark and sparse material that recalled the folky side of Donovan, though he was much less pop-oriented than the psychedelic pop troubadour. Incorporating elements of blues, American folk, and British Isles traditional music into his playing, his influence was not only immense in the British folk scene, it also extended to the rock world -- Neil Young and Jimmy Page, two electric guitar gonzos who often turn to acoustic picking as well, have acknowledg

Jodie Cosmo - Staying Power/Blacksand of Love-Real Cool Time (West World WW-05, 1993) I believe this is the most strange release of the great Jesus Acedo. After the incredibly godlike first releases of Black Sun Ensemble, and in a time when he was just out of psychiatric treatment, Acedo as Jodie Cosmo, with the help of Rich Hopkins, recorded these, uhm.. slightly disoriented songs. The a-side is more pop and Jesus sings "Staying power will see us thru and so I send my love to you", while in the b-side, backed by Hopkins and Co., covers Stooges "Real Cool Time."
The Bomboras were formed, in 1994, by guitarist Pam Moore and ex-members of the Finks and the Witchdoctors: drummer Dave Klein, bassist Shane Van Dyke, and guitarists Gregg Hunt and Johnny De Villa. Taking their name from a classic surf instrumental by the Original Surfaris, this "intoxicating surf & garage combo" combined their love of fast-paced and fuzzy instrumentals from the sixties -- inspired by the Deadly Ones, Ventures, the Astronauts, etc. -- with tiki and hot rod subculture and punk-style intensity. After organ player Jake Cavaliere (ex-Untamed Youth) joined the group, Moore decided to leave (she assumed the name Pamita Neptune and formed the all-girl surf trio, the Neptunas). Cavaliere (now calling himself Jake

The majority of LPs that fall into the "incredibly strange" category do so to no fault of their own, but as an effect of a marked disconnect between whatever artistic vision that went into them, and how the work is perceived by a listener in another time and place. A band such as the Kaplan Brothers obviously thought they had create
