Sweet Smoke-Just A Poke (1970 US)

This is one of my favorite albums. I remember many years ago when i was in a small club with my friends, and i heard the " Baby Night " song. I was really surprised of that band. Next morning i bought the album.

Sweet Smoke was created in 1967 at Brooklyn New York where all members lived. The original members were Andrew Dershin, Mike Paris, Victor Sacco, Jay Dorfman and Marvin Kaminovitz. The complete name of the band was : "Sweet Smoke of the Happy Plant Pipefull".

Sweet Smoke was an American music group living and playing in Europe from 1970 till 1974. Originally from N.Y. the group moved to Germany where they lived as a family commune.

Cornucopia-Full Horn (Germany 1973)

I recently found that Lp and i was really surprised. Their music is really good, although they sound like Thirsty Moon.

1973's Full Horn was Cornucopia's only release, but the seven members of this German progressive rock band made sure that it was a worthwhile accomplishment. 

The 20-minute suite "Day of a Daydream Believer" takes up the first side and includes lots of organ, 

thundering bass & guitar work, energetic drumming and also some flute & saxophone.

By 1974, Cornucopia got left behind in the advent of the German music scene of the early '70s, failing to

record any other album.

[By Request] Catapilla-Changes (1972)

Catapilla were formed in the late 1960s in west London,
who released two interesting albums of experimental jazz rock.
The second and last album from Catapilla was
even weirder and more experimental than the debut, but actually also better.
Originally released in 1972 on Vertigo and even more sought after by collector's than their 1971 album 'Catapilla'.
Their music can described as unusual and mysterious progressive rock.
The music seems often to be based on jams, and always dominated by Calvert`s saxophone and Meek's voice.

TRACK LIST:
1. Reflections
2. Charing Cross
3. Thank Christ for George
4. It Could Only Happen to Me

Electric Sandwich - Selftitled (German 1973)

Electric Sandwich were formed in late 1969,a jazz rock/fusion band from the city of Bonn,

who released their only, self-titled album in 1973.

They went into the Dieter Dirks-Studio in Stommeln to record their debut album, which was released in early 1973,

comprising seven songs somewhere between jazz, blues, rock and psychedelic rock.

Electric Sandwich's only album had a most outstanding opening track, the 8 minute instrumental "China",

with a repetitive, percussive rhythm and fuzzy wah-wah guitar. Other tracks had

an impressive electronically treated sax style reminiscent of Ian Underwood.

Comus - First Utterance (U.k. 1971)

Comus formed in England, taking their name from both a Greek God and respective John Milton piece.

They released their debut LP "First Utterance" in 1971 on Dawn records and it failed to do well due to a postal strike that held up distribution.

It's a mix of progressive rock, folk, psychedelia, and elements of paganism and the macabre. A british folk band that wanted to take the mysterious tales of rape, lunacy, gorefests, and killing all rolled up into one.

It's a great LP !!!!!!

They split right after this LP only to regroup in 1974 for 2nd LP "To Keep from Crying". The line up was expanded to include Gong sax blaster Didier Malherbe among others.

Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!

Far Out-

Review from progarchives.com: This early 70's psychedelic Japanese quartet were more or less the precursors of The FAR EAST FAMILY BAND (see this band's biography), guitarist/vocalist Fumio Miyashita being the only link between the two. Miyashita would later join other musicians on FEFB which included among their ranks Masanori Takahashi, better known as "Kitaro". Under the name FAR OUT, they released one album in 1973.

Although « Nihonjin » is definitely a spacey album, the keyboards are only prominent on the opening notes and the synths are used sparingly throughout, for the occasional sound effect. The psychedelic atmosphere comes mostly from the guitars, electric sitar and drums, resulting in a sound somewhat reminiscent of PINK FLOYD's "A Saucerful of Secrets". The original LP, replete with weird sound effects, consisted of two epic tracks clocking in at 18 and 20 minutes respectively. The 7 bonus tracks of the CD edition are actually taken from The FAR EAST FAMILY BAND's first album "The Cave Down to the Earth" and feature some Japanese vocals that turn out in English on "The Cave" album. These tracks also lack the spacey synths of the latter.

Recommended for fans of early PINK FLOYD, or simply for a taste of the early Japanese psych scene.

Twink-Think Pink(1970)

"Originally released in 1970 on Polydor. This is a wild classic of British psychedelia featuring various members of the Deviants." This 1970 reissue of the Pink Fairies drummer/vocalist is nothing short of true brilliance.The first five cuts here that include "Ten Thousand Words In A Cardboard Box","Dawn Of Magic","Fluid" plus two more certainly get the brain cells a frying.The rest of the disc shows just how diverse Twink can get.On cuts like "Mexican Grass War" or "The Sparrow Is A Sign",one might honestly believe they originally came off of another record.'Think Pink' was Twink's first solo outing,as this psych gem is an absolute must-have.The fellow musicians that gave Twink a hand on this lp include Pretty Thing's rhythm guitarist John Povey,Deviant's bassist Honk,Tomorrow's John Wood and T.Rex's Steve Peregrine Took(R.I.P.).An underground UK classic from the 1968-72 era.

Highly Recommended!!!!!!!!!!!

Music Emporium - Music Emporium (Great US Psychedelia 1969)

The LA trio's sound was a unique mix of Jefferson Airplane-esque male/female leads and the ambitious songwriting style of United States of America, propelled by the powerful drumming of Carolyn Lee. The album moves through different influences, including folk, skiffle, spiritual and rock, but retains the psychedelic sound throughout with the use of organs and harmonies. Recorded at Sunset Sound Studio 2, Hollywood, California in 1969. Originally released on Sentinal (69001). Includes liner notes by Jud Cost.

Music Emporium: Bill "Casey" Cosby (vocals, keyboards); Dave Padwin (guitar); Carolyn Lee (bass, background vocals); Dora Wahl (drums). Highly Recommended!!!!!

Sam Gopal-Escalator (Rare Undregound w. Lemmy 1969)

Sam Gopal was fronted by the young tabla player of the same name as Sam Gopal Dream,

 an acoustic raga-without-sitar group that had previously performed at UFO and other hippy London venues.

But by the time they recorded this, their first album, he had added not only electric guitar,

but also former Jimi Hendrix’s roadie, Ian “Lemmy” Willis to the lineup on further fuzz guitar and vocals.

This album pre-dates Lemmy’s induction into Hawkwind’s ragged ranks by several years, but the germ of Hawkwind’s (and in time, Motörhead)

“The Watcher” is in the horribly fuzzed and equally-strung out “You’re Alone Now. On other tracks the bass player seems to be playing very crude early Motörhead runs,

so they may have been parrot-taught or even played by Lemmy himself.

"Yesterlove" and "grass" are my favorite songs of the album!! 

Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!
