Here's a far out record from '67 or '68 (?) by the Beethoven Soul. I really can't find any info on this group, but this disc is cooooool. Kind of garage-ish stuff mixed with classical elements like flute, violin and lots of harpsichord.

Forever is a Dream, the one and only album by Food, is a classic. Recorded in Chicago in 1969, it is one of the "Capitol 3," the three groups who released only one album with the world renounced Capitol Records before disappearing into psychedelic obscurity (the others were Gandalf by Gandalf and Common People by the Commone People, all in 1969). Starting with the cover, a great shot of the group, who all appear to be in their mid 20s to early 30s, and a nice far off shot of the band, with the Shakespearean quote, "If music be the food of love, then play on." That right there drove me to the album. When listening, your ears are in for a treat. They are smothered by the astonishingly grand production and orchestration of a rock group who never went anywhere. The first song and the title track of the album is a great introduction for what is next to come. As a matter of fact, it may be too soft and gentle for the ears, for at the end of its 6:57 comes the hard and distorted rocking of "Naive Prayers," which is where the essence of psychedelia comes in. The rest of side 1 is fantastic, with a horn section coming in, making the band sound extremely similar to Blood, Sweat, and Tears. It has glimpses of soft accoustic folk as in "Lady Miss Ann" and spacey experimentation in the song "Fountains of my Mind."

Just another San Francisco band, ya know. Unfortunately, in the public eye Quicksilver Messenger Service aren't really notorious for anything but the name. They never made history like the Jefferson Airplane, never created a world religion like the Grateful Dead, and never even made it onto the official alternative list of "weird lost treasures" like Moby Grape. They were there at the time, made up some music, smoked some pot, played some shows, stayed together for a bit too long, and ended up in complete obscurity. Sort of like, uh, well, you know, the average mediocre fate of the average mediocre band.Fact is, QMS may be "average", but they're anything but mediocre. The band revolved around a couple of really talented guitarists, capable of adjusting to a lot of different styles, from typical "acid guitar" to blues-rock and jazz. One of the main forces behind it was songwriter Dino Valenti (Valente), also known as Chet Powers, Jesse Oris Farrow, and under a couple thousand other names - a guy with his own flaws but also with creative ideas a-plenty. And at one time, the band could even boast the inclusion of none other than the fabulous pianist Nicky Hopkins as an official member, an honour that neither the Kinks nor the Rolling Stones nor any of the countless bands Nicky had played with could ever garner.John Cipollina (guitar, vocals); Gary Duncan (guitar, vocals); David Freiberg (bass, vocals); Greg Elmore (drums). Nicky Hopkins added on keyboards, 1970. Dino Valenti (vocals, guitar, flute) added, late 1970. Cipollina, Freiberg, and Hopkins all quit, 1971, replaced by Mark Ryan (bass), Mark Naftalin (keyboards), Chuck Steaks (keyboards). Naftalin quit, 1972, band collapsed soon afterwards.

It’s one of the lost classics of the ‘60s, a psychedelic masterpiece drenched in colour and inspired by life, love, poverty, rebellion. The album is Cold Fact, and what’s more intriguing is that its maker – a shadowy figure known as Rodriguez – was, for many years, lost too. A decade ago, he was rediscovered working as a day laborer in Detroit, Michigan. He was unaware that his defining album had become not only a cult classic, but for the people of South Africa, a beacon of revolution.
Rodriguez recorded Cold Fact – his debut album – in 1969, and released it in March 1970. It’s crushingly good stuff, filled with tales of bad drugs, lost love, and itchy-footed songs about life in late ’60s inner-city America. “Gun sales are soaring/Housewives find life boring/Divorce the only answer/Smoking causes cancer,” says the Dylan-esque Establishment Blues.

The story of how Austin, Texas was transformed from a sleepy little college town into a world- renowned mecca for rock and country music has been told many times. It's a neat hippie saga with heroes and martyrs, a few emblematic anecdotes and no loose ends… or so it seems.

 (us 1969)
Mega rare album from the Dartmouth, Massachusetts fivepiece outfit which was released originally on the Laurel label (Laurel 331098) in 1969. Up-Down is an album of largely self-penned material (only 2 covers, one of which is a strong version of The Spencer Davis Group's hit, 'Gimme Some Lovin') with The Leaves Are Turning Brown, complete with cheesy psych organ and wonderful earnest vocals, is the stand out track. Up-Down is a beat-garage concept album detailing the highs and lows of a summer vacation romance, with, as you would expect, loads of moody teenage angst and lashings of self pity. The songs are all catchy, and there's a couple of good ballads.

This throat-lump-inducing psychedelic pop masterpiece effects such a flawlessly dewy eyed demeanor, you'd have to be made of stone to not get some sorta frisson from having this caress your ear canals. Countrymates Ame Son could be considered a touchstone for the breed of psych pop into low-key acid rock perfected by Total Issue and so too could the whole school of sanguinely playful methodologies that Gong ushered in with their presence in the French scene. One of the lost classics of France's early 70's underground.
