One of the top tier releases on the much vaunted but somewhat erratic archival psych collector label Rockadelic and certainly one of their better latter day discoveries, though the sequencing of this album wrongfoots this thundering Washington State hard rockish psych unit a bit by front-loading the dated organ-grinding "River" ahead of the snarling slab of inventively distended acid thunder that is "Nothing". True, you'll need to negotiate a small patch of enervated Procal Harum-ish organ mustiness on the direct heels of that, but stick with it, as what follows is a deep trove of worthiness, with the best bits of smoked out heaviness here evoking Lagger Blues Machine, Julian Jay Savarin and Clear Blue Sky.

Looking forward to checking this out, thank you.
ReplyDeleteexcellent lost band lp
ReplyDeleteGreat album, track titles seem to be a bit mixed up though... For example track 4 is clearly 'Dragons', which here is the title given for track 8. Does anyone know the correct title sequencing, related to the track as titled in this download?

Ok, I figured it out thanks to phrockblog... This MS download inexplicably leaves off an additional 7 tracks, and seemingly randomly mixes a selection of 8 of the track titles from the full track listing, so some of the tracks here are correctly named, others not, and as I mentioned, 7 tracks missing, some of which are the correct owners of some track titles given in the download. Weird mix up!

Thanks for researching, Chris! Again, huge thanks as always to MS, but the phrock blog post is a lovely upgrade :-)
