ON MY OWN BEHALF: The test pressing of the LP of my old psychedelic rock band CLOUD NINE & THE VITAMIN C arrived yesterday. Really an excellent pressing quality - release granted! Hopefully the coloured copies will be just as good. There will be a limited, hand-numbered edition of 250 copies - in splattered vinyl in red and black. The seven songs on the LP date (except for one recording) from 1992. After more than 30 years, there soon will be an LP after all...  Release date is expected to be early December. There will also be a 10" - RAINFRONTIER - with earlier songs (from ..read more

  RE-UP BY REQUEST. Described to me as 'Psychedelic medieval rock' by JoDee Purkeypile (who is also a member of PLANET RYE CO). 'Call to Arms' by THE BATTLEMEN comes along as a great psychedelic garage album with surprising lyrics and themes, musically clearly rooted in mid/late-60ies psych-garage-punk and pop-psyke. "The Battlemen are the electric minstrels of Bastrop, Texas. Forging a unique sound comprising garage rock, folk, blues, & jazz, the group released their debut album on Emerald Wood in December 2008. Among it's musical joys are the underground hit single "Psychedelic Moa ..read more

Talking about German neo-psychedelic bands one should not forget to mention the one and only VIBRAVOID from Düsseldorf (of all places). Here they do a great cover version from the Australian neo psych band THE TYRNAROUND originally released in 1986. An excellent, very trippy video! The band has been around for many many years. They started in the mid nineties, I think. And they have released quite a lot albums. Surely the longest lasting neo-psychedelic band from Germany! They play a very late sixties styled psych rock, that is very reminiscent of early PINK FLOYD or American acid-punk/garage ..read more

Unfortunately not quite the big hit! Pink Floyd fans tend to be excessive collectors, so you have to offer something very special if you want to sell them a rarities box that is not exactly in the low-price sector. Countless bootleg LPs/CDs and also TV recordings have been circulating for years, if not decades, and when the corresponding recordings are then released "legally", the hardcore fan expects that they will then at least appear in the best possible sound version. To say it right away: not only in this respect is this extensive box a disappointment in places. But first things first ..read more

Schade. Da produziert die norwegische Ausnahmeband MOTORPSYCHO mit HERE BE MONSTERS und HBM Vol. 2 eine beziehungsweise zwei ihrer ambitioniertesten und besten Platte(n) seit TRUST US (1998) überhaupt und liefert dann ein dermaßen bescheidenes Konzert ab. Enttäuschend! HERE BE MONSTERS ist ein Werk, das aufzeigt, wie progressiver Rock im Jahre 2016 klingen kann, ja sollte. Es ist abwechslungsreich, originell, hat fantastische instrumentale Passagen und ausgefeilte Harmoniegesänge, die teils an Westcoast-Bands und insbesondere an CROSBY, STILLS & NASH erinnern. Ein einziger Genuss von der ..read more
