Unbelievably good kinda pyschy funky rock album from 70s england...




Afreaka! [ORIGINAL RECORDING RE
MASTERED]

 

[nlgbbbblth]

there was a Peter Thomas Sound Orchester tribute album released around 10 years ago called Warp Back To Earth.

http://www.discogs.com/release/294922

Worth a listen - esp the John McEntire and Stereolab.

Just discovered that the CD edition had an entire disc of original Peter Thomas stuff. Another shafting of vinyl purchasers!

 

[nlgbbbblth]

Have to say some of the Lalo Schifrin stuff is at bit jazz hands for me with a bit of the token funk thrown in, never heard that score though so will check it out, looks interesting, isn't that the Lucas movie?
that last one looks right up my street though, wowch!

dug this up yesterday for a listen

Puppet on a Chain - Piero Piccioni

his name translates as Peter Pigeon, which i always find amusing. Heard a mad story about him recently, during the 70's he was at this big orgy which was hosted by his cousin, a big time lawyer in Italy at the time, totally loaded. They murdered a woman at the party by drowning her, but they managed to get off, by lets say any means possible!! Italy was a tad corrupt at the time...was reported in his obituary in the Guardian about 2-3 years ago when he passed away. Killer sountrack though

Schifrin has a jazzy background alright.
76 now, playing at Barbican this month.

I like it though.
THX 1138 is the Lucas movie. Soundtrack only emerged last year in 3,000 pressing CD run.

His Dirty Harry and Magnum Force scores are ace. For vinyl a comp called Sudden Impact And The Best Of Dirty Harry has stood me well over the years. Full scores for both have come out on CD recently.

His Mission Impossible LP is pretty good too.

Puppet on a Chain looks good. Must investigate.

I've been reading japrocksampler lately and caning the inthepines downloads. I'm all about Love Life Plus One

Just got onto Speed Glue And Shinki. possibly too loose to be of USE!

That indian gig in Oxfam was very good and the accordian was used tastefully and sparngly. Though they went on for about an hour and half longer than planned.

Never got that excited by Erkin Koray. Most of the turkish psych seemed to be either too much like trad trukish music or too much like generic garage rock. The true fusions seem elusive but Bunalim may be the best one going.

Puppet on a Chain looks good. Must investigate.

also check out Colpo rovente, there is a double vinyl re-issue, the original being a single, also the re-issue has better tracks too.

Nice one !

There's a great series called "Love Peace and Poetry" issued by a German label throughout the 90's/Naughties that were great primers for exotic psych/beat - they were on splattery coloured vinyl also but are now more likely to be found on CD....and all of them with Cheryl Schrode doing her thing on the sleeve (there are volumes from Africa, Brazil, Japan, Latin america, USA, Turkey and Asia and some more maybe)

Also, I want to bring KALEIDOSCOPE into the picture - the US band from the 60's who fused pretty much everything - r'n'b, blues, country/bluegrass, psych, raga, drone, pop and folk and somehow made it all work (well, mostly...) - there's bound to be some stuff that's going to grate for some but if you already haven't, you should really try "Side Trips"...

...and their second album, "A Beacon from Mars" is HERE should you wanna have a listen.

Great mag.

This 'un is deadly. Pinoy rock winners Juan Dela Cruz from the Phillipines' 1974 LP Maskara.
More Turkish psych-folk action. Baris Manco's Daglar Daglar.

Today's haul.

No lie in; up at 7.30am to catch the bus to Dublin.

the above two lots (aside from the Geoff Love 7")
are a mixture of freebies and purchases from local celebrity emperor tomato ketchup aka "King Mixtape".

He left Honest To Goodness with a light record bag, I left with a heavy one [and a full stomach - ended up with two breakfasts there a couple of hours beforehand].

Underneath the Dudley Moore LP is Jerry Yester and Judy Henske's Rosebud. Follow up to Farewell Aldebaran and almost as good.

The Katja Ebstein LP comes with a very 'easy on the eye' pullout sleeve. You could tell that the other punters having their lunch were well impressed.

onto the chazzas and shops.

The two Dory Previn LPs are interesting, appear to be first works from 1970 and 1972. Worth a punt at a fiver for the pair. Couple of standout tracks on both.
The Gale Garnett LP (her debut) was one I remember my uncle playing when I was a young lad. Initially the guy in Spindizzy uttered the dreaded words 'can't find the record' but after 15 minutes, sorted things out.
Better than I remembered.

The Ray Charles LP is excellent, think it came right before the first Country sounds one.
Sleeveless is World Of Lulu volume 2. Surprisingly good nick.
The ubiquitous 'Easy Listening' double album was €4, last time I saw it was at a fair for a staggering €35. Ho Ho.
Martin Yorgantz sings Armenia Immortal. 1977 vintage. Not bad.
The Lula Cortes E Ze Ramalho is the Mr Bongo reissue, natch. Needle dropped it in the shop and was immediately impressed.

Family's second LP, Family Entertainment. Liking this so far.
Tom Paxton 6 is beside James Last, probably my favourite LP of his. Another quality Elektra release.
The Big Folk is an enjoyable Fontana sampler. The Wally Whyton reminds me of my childhood while The Spinners do a great take on an old Israeli tune, Erev Shel Shoshanim.
Always liked the Trouble Man soundtrack so was glad to see it today.

 

[old]

If you like the Lula Cortes LP, worth a go of the private press one he made with Marconi Notaro the year before. S'good stuff. Reissued on Time Lag records.

also if anybody is heading to Paris soon, White Noise and Arthur Brown are playing in the Le Bellevilloise as part of the Acid Test 40th year anniversary celebration of the May 68, artistic uprising or whatever you'd call it. sounds good though

"an international psychedelic mystery mix"

no names of artists provided. anyone know whos that on track 2 by any chance? you can listen to clips here. http://www.djouls.com/index.php/various-trap-door-an-international-psychedelic-mystery-mix

great thread by the way

 

[M. Stratosphere]

Yeah have that mix too, its brilliant stuff, pull it out regular enough
not too sure what track 2 on side one is but track 3 on side one is Les Lutins and 2 on the 2nd side is Baris Manco, you'll probably find it with a bit of googling i'd say
