<div style="text-align: justify;">
well, I'm going to get all the Garage Greats singles and post what I think is worse to share here! the same guys that once did the Radioactive and Fallout boot labels, just reissued a ton of rare garage-psych single in limited runs some years ago. 2012 they did blow off and sell out their remaining 7" stock. you might say 'baaa, damn bootlegs and I do say that too sometimes if I invest a lot of time in a legit reissue and others come by and bootleg the album... however, the Garage Greats series brought a lot of unknown and really great (!) 60's gems to my (and others') attention. so that seems to be the second side of the coin.</div>
<br />
some copies still left in my shop, so you might be interested in brwosing: <a href="http://stores.ebay.com/Surreal-Peppermint-Store/_i.html?_nkw=garage+greats+%287%22&submit=Finden&LH_TitleDesc=1&_sid=882387916" target="_blank">http://stores.ebay.com/Surreal-Peppermint-Store/_i.html?_nkw=garage+greats+%287%22&submit=Finden&LH_TitleDesc=1&_sid=882387916</a> <br />

A friend sent me this track per email and I was astonished when I heared it. but he also wrote, that the rest of the album ain't that good, so I did not listen to the album yet... However, there is a lot of crap among the Kraut Rock stuff, but this here is something exceptional. Like the album "Variety" from the german band "Think" (or did I twist the band & album name?!) or not to forget "Analogy". The artist- and songname psuhs the mystic charakter that will overhelm you, when clicking on "play" above... It's a sourrounding trance, maybe feeling a bit suficiated. It's like riding along in a fairytale-caravan on the journey to a exciting adventure, that's shrouded in mystery. It's truely a psychedelic experience! check it out in complete length!</div>

As some of you might know, I'm also a huge fan of the pagan culture (of the peaceful and white-magic part, not of all those industrial/dark scene etc. stuff...) so just today I discovered a new band called "Hagalaz' Runedance"! Well, not directly psychedelic, I know, but maybe interesting for soem of you as well! Hagalaz means something like "volley" or "hail". It's strongly associated with destruction / the end of something. just like Shiva or Kali in the Hindu mythology. So it's meaning is not necessarily bad. it's like the winter, which is not only making things freeze, but also allows the plants and animals to take a rest and bundle their energy and regenerate for the upcomming year.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Their sound is in the vein of the older <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBDFrIwJy4Q" target="_blank"><i>Faun</i></a> albums, but more archaic. If you love that certain mix of medieval music and pagan folk, you will surely enjoy this band! yet I only zapped through one of their albums and listened to some songs on <a href="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=hagalaz+runedance" target="_blank">youtube</a>, but as far as I can tell great sounds are waiting to be heared!</div>

I assume it was rather meant to be entertaining and funny, but behind the dogmas of the colourful sixties it's not really amusing see all of this.however, the reason, why I watched this movie, was, that A.) it's from the 60's B.) it seemed psychedelic from what I heared about it and C.) the soundtrack is unbelievable good!! and that's still fact, despite the movie content. "Max Frost & The Troopers" where no real band, even if they released an album after success of the film and additionally to the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, wich feat. Les Baxters (as "The Senators"), Jerry Howard, The Second Time, The Gurus, and finally The 13th Power, wich - if I remember it right and the rumours are true - feat. Davie Allen & The Arrows.<br />
<br />
Read a very informative review of the movie here: <a href="http://www.videowatchdog.blogspot.de/2006/01/14-or-shop.html" target="_blank">http://www.videowatchdog.blogspot.de/2006/01/14-or-shop.html </a></div>

I know it's been a while again since my last post here. I hope to find back to the weekly rythmn of posts soon again. We were moving and when this was done, the new LP's I'm introducing to you today arrived here and I had too much work with packing, processing order etc. ...so there was somehow a lack of time, and tons of emails are waiting for a reply too, ... but now back to the maintopic of this post: A lot of people were involved in the postproduction of these albums. The result was an enormous delay. But fiInally - approx. one year later than originally planned - they are finished and in stock. <a href="http://www.merlins-nose.com/" target="_blank">Merlins Nose Records</a> now proudly presents two very fair and beautiful releases from the <b>Psych-/Pagan-/Neo-Folk</b> scene. Below you'll find further informations, reviews, sounds and links about them. Enjoy!</div>

Sometimes music tells you more about its creator than he himself could
ever do. Chelsea Robb, born in Albion, now residing in the mystical
north west of the USA already fits well with the image of an incarnated
elementary spirit from her whole appearance and has opened the gates to
the magical kingdom in a musical way. Gentle, ethereal and sometimes
even ghostly haunting sounds, created on all acoustic instruments such
as flute, hurdy gurdy, reed organ and several stringed instruments apart
from the classic acoustic guitar build the fruitful soil for a
mystifying vocal performance by Ms. Robb who also perfectly performs in a
duet with an even more powerful male voice courtesy of NOVEMTHREE
mastermind Pythagumus Marshall. An enchanting swarm of different
rattles, timbers, bells and rainmakers comes buzzing around the melody
patterns, only scarcely driven by an occasional hypnotical beat of a
hand drum. The surreal beauty of this second full length album by the
project under conduction of Chelsea Robb knows to enchant the listener
every second and to tickle his senses. This way even soft, calm and
dreamy music can be utterly exciting. The spell of the magic kingdom
works well into our dimension through the music of

People have visions, grown and evolved in the world within to be
transcended into the world
outside. IN GOWAN RING is the vision of the American musician Bobin
Eirth aka
B'ee. It shows a man on his journey, incarnating the music of his soul.
B'ee creates a truly vivid organism of sound which becomes outlined more
an more during the creative
process. Next to the folk traditions of the western world B'ee has
studied different music from many cultures to explore all similarities
and differences and to make it all become part of his inner
vision. His works arise from the depths of his soul. This explains why
he just created three albums within the first ten years of his
career. The third album „The glinting spade“ was awakened between 1997
and 1999 during a period of complete isolation and the detection of new
musical influences with a childlike
passion. No big surprise that this music is a rather intimate affair.
B'ee's compositions are captured and detained by him and his fellow
musicians partly with
regular, partly with unique instruments that were created just for those
recordings. The spiritual mood of the songs gets driven by enchanting
melodies and quite often ends up in rather mystifying kaleidoscopes of
sound. B'ee adds fresh inspiration and creativity to the tradition of
the great ancestors of psychedelic folk and singer / songwriter of the
60s and 70s just like Donovan, Perry Leopold, Nick Drake or
Exuma. It is a blessing for all music lovers that this long out of print
record now receives it’s well deserved reissue on vinyl and CD.</span><br />

Some time ago, (ha, 3 years ago), I posted another song by "The Outcasts", which you can listen to here: "<a href="http://psychedelic-jukebox.blogspot.de/2009/11/1966-outcasts-hard-lovin-babe.html" target="_blank">Hard Lovin' Babe</a>". But to what I found on the web, I have to assume that this where another Outcasts band. Somewhere I read 10 groups with this name are known to have existsed in the 60's.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, "Set Me Free", this time with male front-vocals sounds like the great Airplane going back to the garage. The Chorus and organs are giving it the psychedelic feeling. More Outcasts tracks can be found on the Collectables CD "Battle of the Bands! - The Outcasts vs. the Arkay IV" / or the same tracks at the '85 Cicadelic LP release "Meet The Outcasts!" </div>

Why bananas again?! I crossed this phrase several times now and it sounds weird every time again. Maybe this slogan arose from completely naive believes of parents in the 60's about psychedelia and their tripping youth. Well, "Banana, the mindexpanding fruit!". Bananas found their way into a psychedelic hippie movement on various ways. Sooner or later you will cross "The Electric Banana - Blows Your Mind" LP or a book called "<a href="https://www.google.de/search?hl=de&client=firefox-a&hs=JeX&rls=org.mozilla:de:official&q=Electrical+Banana:+Masters+of+Psychedelic+Art&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.r_qf.&bvm=bv.1355534169,d.Yms&bpcl=40096503&biw=1152&bih=678&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=3l3XUPedOumO4gSk4oHQAQ#um=1&hl=de&client=firefox-a&tbo=d&rls=org.mozilla:de%3Aofficial&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=Electrical+Banana+Masters+of+Psychedelic+Art&oq=Electrical+Banana+Masters+of+Psychedelic+Art&gs_l=img.3...440.440.0.857.1.1.0.0.0.0.113.113.0j1.1.0...0.0...1c.1.u9-b4qta-hY&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.r_qf.&bvm=bv.1355534169,d.bGE&fp=1785339b0a28fc59&bpcl=40096503&biw=1152&bih=678" target="_blank">Electrical Banana: Masters of Psychedelic Art</a>"... you see, it's a topic to explore! About the song: It's an instrumental psych rock piece by this Colorado band, that only released that one single with the b-Side "Peak Beat". The drony bass-line is building the basement for the fuzzed guitar patterns. Great psychedelic sound indeed!</div>

Jacco Gardner is a talented young musician form the Netherlands. I recognised, who he is, after reading, that he played on <a href="http://mirimay.bandcamp.com/track/you-are-my-angel" target="_blank">MiriMay</a>'s single, that will hopefully be released on <a href="http://saturnorecords.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">Saturno Records</a> soon! In brackets I read "<a href="http://theskywalkers.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">The Skywalkers</a>" behind his name. Then I knew, I'd have to checkout his stuff too! Some of you might remember, that I posted a song by the Skywalkers some time ago (<a href="http://psychedelic-jukebox.blogspot.com/2011/01/2010-skywalkers-mrs-fords-dream.html" target="_blank">here</a> you go). Their 2010 album "Year One" is just amazing! Due to strange results of effects that where added to the drum-section, the drum sounds quite unnatural, almost like an electronic drum, but it ain't one actually. However, Jacco's music is not only a great enrichment to the contemporary psychedelic scene, but also he seems pretty committed to his work. The US label "<a href="http://troubleinmindrecs.com/" target="_blank">Trouble in Mind Records</a>" released his latest single and will release his upcomming and new album "Cabinet Of Curiosities" on CD and LP (propably in february 2013). What to say about the sound? It's pretty mellow and dreamy and sometimes makes me think of Sunshine and Baroque Pop. The second video below even reminds on the early Pink Floyd stuff... I know it's a pretty canned comparison and too often used, but hear it yourself ;-). All in all it gets in a similiar direction than the Sufi's music (see some posts below), but it's less weird and trippy, it's more like having a daydreamy day and lying on a grassy hill, feeling a warm breeze, having flowers all around you and watching the clouds, while you are floating along with them... Don't forget to like Jacco on facebook: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/jaccogardnermusic" target="_blank">http://www.facebook.com/jaccogardnermusic</a></div>

Within the rediscovery of better, lesser and really obscure and unheard psych music from the 60's and 70's, the selftitled album of this UK psych folk act, appeared again on several label imprints that rereleased it. But that's just the factual and boring background. I could tell you the stories, of how often it got bootlegged etc., but I'm a bit tiered of it and don't think this knowledge is very amusing if you are after the music and it's spirit, that enfolds ones you tuned in. Without any research and checking, what I can find in books about this band, other things come to my mind to share about it. If you contemplate about the froncover artwork, you will soon notice that the musicians on it are looking like children's of the ancient god Pan. the trees in the background are merging with the horns of the mystic beings. Could it be more inviting like this for a gentle hippie/psych folk record? Flutes are leading into the depth of the song, wich rhythmically dance along and morph into something ambivalent, that is somehow soft and greenly-protecting, and somehow melancholic and a bit wailing. That makes me feel a bit like being on the run, but surrounded by benevolent creatures of the forest. a bizzare but familiar feeling. It's been a long time since I heared the compelte album. It's time again it seems. Maybe I'll find more songs from it to post here some day. Also their second album wasn't bad as well.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Listen to the song (and album) and you'll watch your mind melting and dripping into deeper layers of perception... I remember reading on Linda Perhacs homepage, that Trish Keenan, the singer of Broadcast, was a huge fan of her sound, but sadly died in a car accident(?) in 2011. The name of the two groups together (Broadcast & The Focus Group) and the long and strange album name ("Investigate Witch Cults Of The Radio Age") awoke my interest. And when I listened to it the first time I was a kind of blown away. Their experimental psychedelia is something quite unique - at least for me as I know only very few things that would be really equal in their musical style. They are often described with "old library music sounds, sixties-inspired pastiches, and soundtracks to 1970s films and programmes, as well as the sound collage of musique concrète." Except for the 60's psych pastiches, I'm pretty unfamiliar with the other styles, and even never heared of "library music" before ... damn, what's that?! find it out yourself! the reason why I'm posting a video today and not just an mp3, is, that the video expresses optically, what the song brings to your ears. together this grows to a real mindblower!</div>

This song is taken from Bill Synth's great "Acid & Flowers" compilation, that got released in the 90's by "Timothy's Brain". One of the best psych comps around by the way! But, what to say else about it? Huh... ! Well, the mood of this track is placed somewhere between the Ultimate Spinach and Jefferson Airplane - maybe you noticed, I have a predilection for that chorus like soft psych, as well as for organs, so "Lantern Gospel" is beaming me up once again!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Luckily someone band-familiar shared some words about the band on <a href="http://crudcrud.blogspot.com/2008/03/lantern-gospel.html" target="_blank">Crud Crud's blog</a>. Since I'm not the one, being familiar with them, I prefer to qoute those lines here: "I must admit, I think the song is kinda cheesy. However, a studio band the World Column was not. They were orignally known as the Segrams (ave.. age was 15 y.o.) They were on the road giggin' almost nightly for years a range of 20,000 miles a year. During this time,they shared the stage with performers such as Jackson 5, Aerosmith, Dave Clark 5, Herman's Hermits, Sonny and Cher. When they recorded these 2 45's they were still teenagers. These guys studied music-one in Sweeden, one at the Chicago Conservatory of Music, and one at Indiana University. Studio heads lookin for a one hit wonder-no. Talented kids who rocked the stage-ask anyone from the midwest from this era. Most of these guys went on to raise families. I'd love to say as a teenager I had this type of experience and then 40 years later people are bloggin about my music. I just found that their song So Is the Sun is found on 6 different complilation CD's produced between 2000 and 2006. Rock on. Benoit and Meyer-rest in peace. Be proud Kaplan and Boller."</div>

The Sufis, a new psych band from Nashville are beaming you up with kaleidoscopic soundpatterns. There are elements in their music, reminding me on the UK psych from the 60's - I'm talking of bands like "The Open Mind", the more psychedelic pieces of "The Eyes", Donovan's "Sunshine Superman" & co., or some lysergic songs by the Beatles... I can also hear strong parallels to Broadcast & The Focus Group's "Investigate Witch Cults of the Radio Age" ... Klemen did a nice interview with the Sufis and if you dig their sound and would like to know more about them, check it out here: <a href="http://psychedelicbaby.blogspot.com/2012/11/the-sufis-interview-with-calvin-laporte.html" target="_blank">http://psychedelicbaby.blogspot.com/2012/11/the-sufis-interview-with-calvin-laporte.html</a></div>

about 4 years ago, I started this blog with the intention to share psychedelic art with all of you, adding some thoughts here and there, recommend some stuff, ... Yet it have been only songs - (mostly) - that I posted. For the future I'm planning A.) to post more regularely, B.) also to post video's/trailers/etc., psychedelic visual arts/drawings/so called digital-art (photo-"manipultion" etc.), introducing artists and performers C.) I'm also planning to post news about my two projects; my record label for Psych Rock & Acid Folk, called "<a href="http://www.merlins-nose.com/" target="_blank">Merlins Nose Records</a>" and my shop "<a href="http://www.surreal-peppermintstore.de/" target="_blank">Surreal Peppermint Store</a>", which is dedicated to supply you with "Psychedelic Delights for Body and Mind"!<br />
Since a lot of mp3's are down and I have to re-upload them again, I will try to post one new post per week and restore one of the old posts and adding them to the top.<br />
<br />
I'm excited to get this blog more active and I'm also glad about every feedback I do get on topics or whatever... </div>

The Eyes, were an Freakbeat and Garage Rock group from London in the 60's. I don't know much about them, but that they have realeased a load of singles and <i>Acme </i>licenced them and putted out a propper reissue of them in a compilation in 2006 together with <i>Lion Productions</i>. Sooner or later I will post another song form this comp, wich is entitled "The Arrival of the Eyes" and also feat. alternate takes/demos. Some of the tracks (as well as this one) are quite psychedelic! "The Immediate Pleasure" for example leans toward a strong Byrds vein (before they had their "cowboy attitude" ;-) ) mixed up with that certain british beat of the 60's, the Beatles cultivated.</div>

The Quit Jungle's '67 single got bootleged quite often. starting with the countless amount of psych comps and ending with the recent Garage Greats exact repro 45's ... What is known about this band? Let's ask <a href="http://www.canuckistanmusic.com/index.php?maid=91" target="_blank">Canuckistan Music</a>: <i>"Toronto's Doug Rankine and the Secrets scored huge in early 1966 with a rather goofy novelty hit, a quintessentially Canadian ode to the burly Toronto Maple Leaf forward Eddie Shack called 'Clear the Track, Here Comes Shack'. This tepid Merseybeat clone rocketed to number one on the CHUM-AM charts in Toronto in February, 1966, ultimately and inexplicably charting for nine weeks. However, by early '67, having by then adopted the hipper-sounding Quiet Jungle, the lads debuted with the first of two seven-inchers for the Yorkville label, later home to fellow garagesters the Ugly Ducklings. 'Ship of Dreams', is stellar psychedelia, opening with an eerie guitar squeal that presages Fever Tree's 'San Francisco Girls', and with delicious organ riffs and mellifluous harmonies that would justifiably see it hit #31 in February of that year. Flip it over and the wax explodes with some gruff and snarly - if not a tad formulaic - garage punk. The Quiet Jungle followed this with the less interesting, though much tougher to find, Too Much in Love / Make Up Your Mind (also on Yorkville), before vanishing from Toronto's Yorkville scene. Unbeknownst to many, though, is that the band found gainful employment as session musicians for the budget label Arc, churning out fodder for hundreds of K-Mart and Kresge bins with an entire set of Monkees hits, as well as a totally lame-o Christmas disc, The Story of Snoopy's Christmas and Other Favourite Children's Songs (Arc)."</i></div>

Otis Optic & The Option People are aband based in Germany. They released their debut on Nasoni Records and mark their discoraphy highlights along with a hand full of other albums. Although it's a mystery to my, why they are that little known. ok, it's the label-politics regarding promotion on one hand, but on the other they are not known to a lot of Garage Punkers. Their songs consist of a strong psychedelic style, and they rather established in the Neo-Psych scene (Vibravoid, Liquid Visions, Siena Root, ...). So let me recommend their album to everyone who is digging the good old Garage-Psych! The band's last activity is dated back to 2008, so just let's hope they have not broke and will delight us with more goodies in future!</div>

Beneath <i>Joana Newsom</i>, <i>Devendra Banhart</i>, <i>Iron & Wine</i> and others, Joesephine Foster is one of the leading voices in the so called New Weird America genré, wich consists of a mix of alternative folk/songwriter and a remembrance of the psychedelic folk of the 60's and 70's. maybe some of it rooted as well in the freaky 90's folk as well (The Iditarod, Stone Breath, In Gowan Ring etc. ...). No Questions, Josephine's "Hazel Eyes, I Will Lead You" (where this title-track comes from) album is miles ahead of her other releases, wich are quite ... let's say, very strange (except for the "Little Life" EP). The Hazel Eyes album I could play over and over again. it's so deliciouse! it's a bit like Zen, turning everything topsy-turvy. </div>

I doubt if I should post this song on the jukebox, since it's more than worn out and everybody of you might have heared it about 100 times already on several comps... however, this is a classic psych pop tune you should not miss to listen to once again. highly driven in that UK "Pepperish" psychedelic vein with a lot of echoing effects swirling around your head, even if you have no headphones on.<br />

Aleppo Pine is a contemporary band from Spain. Their creations consist of a strong singer & songwriter vein, with a hint of Grateful Dead-like ease and strong leanings to psych folk bands and artists like <a href="http://psychedelic-jukebox.blogspot.de/2010/05/1972-mark-fry-witch.html" target="_blank">Mark Fry</a>, Amber, Maureeny Wishfull and others... "Black Wizard" reminds me on this gentle hippie-like sounds we are used to know from Yellow Autumn or the Tree People. Imagine longhaired, dovelike fellows and woman in couloured cloths, exotic visions and a peaceful rainbowfamily of the living light spirit. It's no wonder that the album where this track comes from is called "Holy Picnic". I highly recommend this band to anyone crossing the jukebox! you can listen to the whole album and/or pruchase it here: <a href="http://aleppopine.bandcamp.com/album/holy-picnic" target="_blank">http://aleppopine.bandcamp.com/album/holy-picnic</a> </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-810923040801529712.post-80231967096001267362012-06-22T04:38:00.005-07:002012-06-22T04:39:25.132-07:00[1967] The Baroques - Iowa, A Girl's Name<i>listen to the song:</i><br />

"The Baroques had a fuzz-guitar/keyboard-damaged sound that retained much of the garage intensity of ’66 while plunging into the experimentation that marked the latter part of the decade." (~therisingstorm.net)<br />
Starting like a psych-pop ballad, you'll later get overwhelmed with tons of heavy fuzz storming through your mind. Iowa is one of this sort of songs, wich might suprise you of their short runningtime. If you hear the experimental garage-psych-jams you probably would expect an 8-10 minute journey. However, this way it's been a nice flipside for their single "Mary Jane" (<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqDa5hCSQX0" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqDa5hCSQX0</a>).</div>

The Ultimate Spinach is an legendary project, founded by Ian Bruce-Douglas and a couple of friends from the non existing 60's Boston scene. You might wonder about the band's obscure name. if so, read what Ian has to say about it: <i>"...One day, in 1967, I was in my room, tripping on some really pure LSD. I started looking at myself in the mirror and my face was doing funny things. I had a bunch of colored markers I used to draw with. I grabbed a green one and started drawing all these psychedelic designs on my face. When I was done, I looked at myself and said “Whoa! I am ultimate spinach. Ultimate spinach is me!” A couple of months later, I started “The Underground Cinema” and when we signed with The Parasite, I changed the band’s name to “Ultimate Spinach” for “luck”. Some luck!"</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
the first two albums of the 'Spinach, where really masterpieces, but then it began to crumble within the band and conflicts increased. Ian left the band after they recorded their second album "Behold & See". the thrid album is, - to be honest - not even worth to listen to. However, if you interested in more information about the Band's history, you can read an interview with Ian at Klemen's "It's Psychedelic Baby" magazine:</div>

Most of you will know about the Incredible String Band I guess. Those that never heared of them and are just about to discover them, either love their mystic and freaky sound or the find them just annoying and strange. if you are searching for psychedelic folk & related music you will soon discover, that there are more and more occult and black magic people and bands are cavorting within contemporary scenes and releases. one good thing about the ISB is, that they seemed to be mostly peaceful, openminded and into "hippie-mystics" and white-magic. that's what makes me enjoying them as much as I do. so this song is one of several that are waiting to be posted at the jukebox. I hope you are enjoying this "cosmic-ringelreien" as well.</div>

Lyrics:<br />
Then come to me secretly<br />
And with your silken feather<br />
And with your silken feather<br />
Open your rooms<br />
<br />
Never, in fact, as he gazed amazed<br />
At two lost eyebrows lisping into the unexpected<br />
And the archetypal postman delivering your seed letters<br />
Whose eyes are black eggs really<br />
Upon a long shore, upon a long shore<br />
Open your door, open your door<br />
<br />
'Ask anyone,' he muttered, as he spat a small,<br />
Brilliant blue insect whirring into the gauze.<br />
'I would advise stilts for the quagmires,<br />
And camels for the snowy hills<br />
And any survivors<br />
Their debts I will certainly pay.<br />
There's always a way, there's always a way.<br />
<br />
I smiled with that gallantly concealed forceful nervousness<br />
That has proved that oysters cry<br />
And that I have come to know and accept as myself.<br />
And plucking a barbed feather from the morose universe<br />
I called him deathless<br />
And he left before he could reply<br />
Open your eyes, open your eyes<br />
<br />
Our first father, Abraham, whose bosom<br />
Was the unique soul of the humans<br />
Was certainly as bewildered as we are<br />
If not infinitely more so<br />
And with an ancient ceremonial gesture of dismissal<br />
He pointed forward.<br />
<br />
Verily, verily<br />
Verily, verily<br />
<br />
The first day was golden<br />
And she coloured the sun<br />
And she named it Hyperion<br />
And she made it a day of light and healing<br />
<br />
The second was silver<br />
And she coloured the moon<br />
And she named it Phoebe<br />
And she made a day of enchantment and the living waters<br />
<br />
And the third was many-coloured<br />
And she coloured the earth<br />
And she made a day of joy<br />
With the scarlet strength of seed<br />
<br />
In the fourth black and white were mingled into quicksilver<br />
And she coloured Mercury<br />
And she made a day of wisdom<br />
And the signs that are placed in the firmament<br />
<br />
The fifth was bright blue<br />
And she envisaged Jupiter<br />
And she made a day of awe and circles, circles<br />
And she sent it to guide the blood of the universe<br />
<br />
The sixth was burning with icy, green flames that glowed white<br />
And of her beauty she made Venus<br />
And she made a day of love<br />
Whereby all beings are united<br />
<br />
The seventh was rich purple of the mollusks<br />
And she coloured Chronos<br />
And she made a day of idleness and repose<br />
Whereon all beings cease from struggle.<br />
<br />
Verily, verily<br />
Verily, verily<br />
<br />
I am the pebble in your very own eye<br />
I am the sword and your enemy dies.<br />
I am the storm and the hurricane wind<br />
I am the thorn of an unkind friend<br />
I am desire what colour my eyes?<br />
I am Loki wizard of lies<br />
Catch me, find me, see me if you can<br />
I am the guilt of an honest man<br />
<br />
Then seven times we raised our arms and with cat-stretch<br />
Sent our footspells yawning into the multitudes<br />
<br />
In need we called upon the mother of all living<br />
Three times for succor<br />
But with ambitious spears they made us change<br />
They crouched behind their mirrors and fought on.<br />
<br />
I will not allow them praise<br />
That broke the harmonious globe in splintered fragments<br />
And yet they moved perforce with a perfect pattern<br />
And complemented harmony with dischord<br />
And light with darkness<br />
<br />
It was then that we stepped out of our world machine<br />
Between the palm and the fingers<br />
Peeling like gloves<br />
<br />
And for each eye that shed one tear,<br />
We made of that tear an ocean<br />
And in the five directions<br />
We loosed our several craft.<br />
<br />
Wild sea, I say today,<br />
Please be a sweet cow for me<br />
Amethyst galleon, out on the rolling sea<br />
Gentle as lightning, easily<br />
Take me to the root of the world tree<br />
Amethyst galleon, out on the rolling sea<br />
<br />
Your face is consumed in a bruised sky's glance<br />
By the brazen wall with your sword and lance<br />
Where<br />
Where dappled maidens, endless danced<br />
Round the root of the world tree.<br />
<br />
Wild sea, I say today<br />
Please be a sweet cow for me<br />
Amethyst galleon, out on the rolling sea<br />
<br />
Wild sea, my love is salty for me<br />
Every ripple in her body is a wave in me<br />
Amethyst galleon, out on the rolling sea.<br />
<br />

I never heared of this band until I read about them in one of <a href="http://www.anazitisirecords.com/" target="_blank">Anazitisi Records</a>' last years' newsletters. so the usual process began. I searched for them on youtube, digged, what I heared and got hold of their "In Retrospect" CD. The sound of Six Feet Under is of a darker shape, just in the vein of the "John Bassman Group", "Analogy" or "Axe". although this track is of a very short playtime, it's worth each second listening. heavy driffen guitar lines meet organ vibes and female vocals. </div>

"baaaahhh, aaah, baaaahhh, aaaaah, ..." the Alarmclock's '67 single "Incense and Peppermints / The Birdman of Alcatrash" is a landmark in the history of the psychedelic music of the 60's. to be honest, their full length debut is really awesom! gentle and soft psych pop melodies merge there with rocking tunes and touches toward jazz. "The Birdman of Alcatrash" for example is another great piece, wich becomes very surreal shortly after it beginns. more tracks from the album are coming someday for sure! the soundtrack of the '68 psychedelic cult-movie "Psych-Out" (starring Susan Strasberg, Jack Nicholson, Dean Stockwell and others...) also feat. a nice selection of Strawberry Alarm Clock songs. below you'll find the trailer:</div>

<u>The lyrics:</u><br />
Ba-ba, ba-ba<br />
Ba-ba, ba-ba<br />
<br />
Good sense, innocence, cripplin' mankind<br />
Dead kings, many things I can't define<br />
Occasions, persuasions clutter your mind<br />
Incense and peppermints, the color of time<br />
<br />
Who cares what games we choose?<br />
Little to win, but nothin' to lose<br />
<br />
Incense and peppermints, meaningless nouns<br />
Turn on, tune in, turn your eyes around<br />
Look at yourself, look at yourself, yeah, yeah<br />
Look at yourself, look at yourself, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah<br />
<br />
To divide the cockeyed world in two<br />
Throw your pride to one side, it's the least you can do<br />
Beatniks and politics, nothin' is new<br />
A yardstick for lunatics, one point of view<br />
<br />
Who cares what games we choose?<br />
Little to win, but nothin' to lose<br />
<br />
Good sense, innocence, cripplin' mankind<br />
Dead kings, many things I can't define<br />
Occasions, persuasions clutter your mind<br />
Incense and peppermints, the color of time<br />
<br />
Who cares what games we choose?<br />
Little to win, but nothin' to lose<br />
<br />
Incense, peppermints<br />
Incense, peppermints<br />
