Biography : Although guitarist, producer, and theorist Jojo Hiroshige is one of the leading figures on the Japanese noise music scene, his protégées in the all-female quartet Angel'in Heavy Syrup could not be further from the sort of extreme noise terrorism Hiroshige is best known for. Their quiet, meditative music is clearly influenced by the gentler side of '70s Krautrock and progressive rock; think of the gentler moments of Can or Gong, made even more ghostly and delicate by the group's low-key instrumentation and gossamer vocals. This is music in constant danger of becoming so airy it might drift off into the ether, were it not rooted by subtly polyrhythmic drums and hand percussion seemi

Pete Atkin - 1971 - Driving Through Mythical America
This
a beautiful album by english folk singer Pete Atkin. Pete sung and
wrote the music and Clive James the words (don't let that put you off,
its fantastic). All the songs tell a great story along with some very
fine backing by the likes of Herbie Flowers, Barry Morgan, Chris
Spedding etc.
Checkout "No Dice" I love this song to bits!

Yes,
Kensington Market were one of the most well-respected groups on the
scene in late-1960s Canada; yes, this album came out on a big label
(Warner Brothers); and yes, it was produced by a major figure, Felix
Pappalardi, then hot with Cream. This doesn't mean, though, that this
is anything more than a very ordinary late-1960s rock LP, leaning
towards the gentle pop/rock side without being too mainstream. In
keeping with the times, a lot of attention was paid to varying the
styles and arrangements, from airy-fairy pop-psychedelia ("Looking

Label September Gurls Released 1997 Time (minutes) 58 Musicstyle Psych Folk
Discolor is the solo project of Stefan Lienemann alias Limo of Shiny Gnomes and Fit+Limo (supported by friends on moog, cello, violin). Combination of new space travelogue with Fit+Limo folk sensibility. Songs expand into pastoral, multilayered guitar landscapes. Solar distortions, white noise acoustics, hypnotic sitar-driven Eastern Kraut dub and chamber string drones create a deeply psychedelic space trance experience. Album ends with a beautiful, haunting version of Beach Boys' "In my room." Discolor shows influences of new UK/US/NZ space rock/drone scene (FSA, Jessamine, Amp, Montgomery etc.), which in itself is influenced by Kraut Rock of the 70's, so the circle closes...

(Melody Maker, UK) "Enigmatic gothic/baroque troubador with the psychedelic fringe" (Ptolemaic Terrascope,UK) "For some 15 years the enigmatic Paul Roland has carved out a niche in peculiarly ornate British pop music." (Record Collector, UK) "He must be ranked with the most creative and unique songwriters of his generation...the work of an exceptional talent." (Bucketful Of Brains, UK) "The male Kate Bush" (Robyn Hitchcock) "If pop music had existed in the 19th century Roland would have been a star."

Recensioner: "Two
long oriental esoteric jams with sitar, flute and percussion. This is a
really psychedelic party where almost all of Xotic Minds members
contribute. The improvisations that were recorded at Adam Axelzons home
and at the Babalon Bar in Stockholm reaches orgiastic crescendos,
especially the "Io Pan”, a primordial invocation to Pan, with
polyrhythmical structures that grows and grows. Reminds one of such
masterpieces as "Seven Ate Sweet” or "Taxim” by the mythical

A
great collection of some of the most appreciated Shocking Blue
recordings. All their hit singles are here, as well as lesser known
songs from their various albums, recorded in the first halt of the
1970`s.
Though
"Venus" was their only international hit, a lot of these songs had the
same potentials. Songs like "Never Marry a Railroad Man", "Mighty Joe",
"Dream on Dreamer", or "Out of Sight, Out of Mind" could have been
equally big hits, had the wind blown in the Shocking Blue direction,
when they were released.
Guitarist
Robbie van Leeuwen had an unique skill for writing catchy pop-rock
tunes, and their music still sounds fresh and appealing today.
"Unreleased recordings from obscure Ohio band with 1970 45 on the same label as Morly Grey. Much of this is actually modern recordings, nevertheless about half of it is enjoyable sinister psychrock with a late Doors vibe." (AcidArchives)
"World In Sound presents another group that represents the late '60s, early '70s heavy psychedelic era scene in northeast Ohio, USA (the same region that Dragonwyck is from). Having won the Starshine Productions' 'Battle of the Bands' in 1970, the five-member Freeman Sound was established as the most popular of several bands (including Morly Grey), that had records released on the Starshine label. This special collection of original songs and sounds is an exciting bit of rock history that doc
