[2008] Nalle - First Eden Sank to Grief
listen to the song:
Nalle is Glasgow based band feat. Hanna Tuulikki. Alongside Chris Hladowski (bouzouki, saz, clarinet et al) and Aby Vulliamy (viola, piano, voice et al) the songs are built around Hanna’s unbridled vocals and guitar playing, with occasional sojourns on recorder and Finnish kantele. Recent recordings have also seen Nalle expand to include Ben Reynolds on harmonica and double bass, Raymond MacDonald on sax, Peter Nicholson on double bass and Alex Neilson on Drums. The music draws on a whole gamut of musical traditions, weaving instrumental tapestries around hypnotic, almost ballad-like vocal narratives, cultivating a deeply personal and idiosyncratic approach that outweighs the sum of its parts.
Hanna Tuulikki and Chris Hladowski, who are both playing in a the UK band "the Family Elan", will delight us with a magic Incredible String Band-like track for an upcomming psychedelic compilation on Merlins Nose Records.

[1967] The Painted Faces - Anxious Colour
listen to the song:
One of the classic psych singles to come out of Florida was 'Anxious Color' by The Painted Faces. They were short lived but left behind some fine singles. Their first 45 was released locally on Qualicon. This coupled the moody folk rock lament 'Things We See' with 'I Want You'... The former turning up again as the flip to the Manhattan release.
'Anxious Color' is where it's at though with raga sounding guitar leads giving the song a psychedelic sound. According to the liners of the Distortion compilation this 45 was a big hit in South West Florida, hitting number 1 on some stations. It even got extensive airplay on Los Angeles stations making the Top 10. This was probably due to their Mike Curb connections. (~ Flower Bomb Songs)

[1969] John & Philipa Cooper - Magical Fingers of Minerva
listen to the song:
John and Philipa Cooper came from Johannesburg in South Africa. But they were not alone, ... Julian Laxton (lead guitar), Art de Villiers (acoustic guitar), Bob Hill (bass), Werner Krupski (keyboards), Francesco (fiddle), Ivor Back (drums), Rory Blackwell (tambourine) helped them out, so they had a nice band together. to categorize their music, I would propose to call it droney acid folk. Someone is playing sitar and robust bass lines are holding the trancy vocals and the psychedelic organ.

[1969] Elephant's Memory - Old Man Willow
listen to the song:
An elephant's memory is legendarily large, and so was the size and scope of the New York band that went by the same name. Unlike some other horn-rock ensembles of the late-'60s that took advantage of the freedom to expand rock's size and sound, however, Elephants Memory weren't merely a rock band with jazz overtones. There was plenty of pile-driving rock'n'roll, and a good deal of jazz of both the free and big band varieties. But there was also soul, spaced-out psychedelia... (~Richie Unterberger)

[1968] Plastic Cloud - You don't Care
listen to the song:
The Plastic Cloud recorded their debut in 1967 and released it 1968. They sound like a garage version of Jefferson Airplane (before 1969). Enjoy the wild and psychedelic tune!

[1970] Acyutananda Swami - India: Songs of the Bengali Vaisnavas
vinyl-rip at 320 k/Bits. Propably recorded around 1970.
Following informations are taken from the LP.
Acyutananda Swami is an American sannyasi, who left his homeland at the age of 16 years and has been living in India since the last 10 years studying the spiritual culture and music of India. He is world renowned for his masterful singing of Bengali Vaisnava folk songs and playing on mrdanga (clay drum, unique to Bengal).
The recordings on this LP were taken in Mayapura, India, and we beg the listeners to excuse the obvious shortcomings due to circumstances beyond our control. This record has been produced especially with the idea of helping the needy people of Bengal by sending the profits above the cost of actual production to our international center in Mayapura, India (Bengal), where thousands of people are fed each day from contributions coming through the sales of this record. Give generously.

[1968] Blonde on Blonde - All Day, All Night
listen to the song:
Along withthe song "Country Life", this one was released by Blonde on Blonde on their 1968 single. Nice Ragas with Sitar and tabla, but it seems, like the band was gettin' bad, the older they grew. so let's enjoy this pre-debut album song.

Named paranoid, schizophrenic, insane, ... escaped from the world, born in visions. The violin and the folky percussion float you into universe....

[2007] The Strawberry Jam - Hide Your Stash
listen to the song:
"Hide Your Stash" can be found on their first album from 2007, released on Feret Hole Records in Canada. The Band itself comes from England. The Track is very psychedelic, but sometimes these guys are very bold and in german we would call it "Rotzlöffel". For example you've got to listen to the lyrics of "Elizabeth" on their myspace site: http://www.myspace.com/thestrawberryjamexperience

Wild psychedelic, paranoid, garage-fuzz. Released on one of their 1967 Singles "Suzy Creamcheese / From Day to Day". Watch out for an other song by the band -> "Haight-Ashbury"

listen to the song:
The Byrds mixed up with the Mamas & Papas and Jefferson Airplane, ready is the Peanut Butter Conspiracy. This song makes the sound liquid and the colors shiny. Pay attention to the lyrics ;).
