Radioshow “PVHF” on radio Centraal, Antwerp, 103.9 FM 2008-01-11 : 8-10 PM European Time (GT+1) + live on air : http://streaming.radiocentraal.be/ new psych & psychpop releases and beyond.. + DARK DAYS SPECIAL : new BLR Records. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- intro : 4 min 1. 60s (mostly): * Arf!Arf! V.A.:Garageaholic!Psychedelic!Outsider Music! (VA,’66-’90)*°°° Boss 60s bands : Tr.10, The Legends : “High Towers” 3 min Outsider Music : Tr.26, Tangela Tricoli : “Stinky Poodle” 3 min Tr.27, Caveman Coockbook : “Oooh Oooh Ahh..” 3 min Some highlights of the sampler of the label. Tr.10 is great psych, tr.26 is so awfully outsider folk it’s funny to hear, while the last track is erotic psych. * Cherry Red Piero Umiliani : Piero's Pleasure (I,1966-1975,re.2007)****° Tr.1, “mah na mah na” 3 min Tr.2, “Due Mafiosi” 3 min Tr.7, “Requiem per un agente segrete : discoteque party” 3 min Tr.10, “L’Archangelo” 9 min Tr.11, “Isola Tuttofare” 2 min (slightly shortened) Tr.12, “Isola Tuttofare : shake” 3 min Tr.14, “Cinque Bambole (chorus)” 4 min 27-40 Nice compilation of this composer. Some fitting well together light wordless vocal fun making tracks, -such vocals are besides a great Italian trademark-, of which the first example became popular through the Muppet Show, and in between a fine 60s poppsych track, and closing with some fine jazzpop lounge. Some of it is a must for parties. With the voice of Edda Dell’Orso & modern singers. Review : http://www.psychemusic.org/Italy.html#anchor_273 * Feathered Apple The Outspoken Blues (US,1966-1968,re.2008)**°° Tr.3,“Mister, you’re a better man than I” 4 min 44 Band known from one of the rarest, but also talented psych single. Review : http://www.psychemusic.org/sixties4.html#anchor_260 * Universe The Guitars of Dan & Dale (Sun Ra & Blues Project) : Batman & Robin (US,1966)**° I can’t believe this is Sun Ra. Variations of the Batman themes with a bit of jazz influence, with most attention to the 2 twang guitarists. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. 70s : * Black Rills Fantasy (US,1969/1970,re.2008)****' 1, “Happy” 6 min 2, “Come” 7 min 3, “Wages of Sin” 4 min 4, “Circus of Invisible Men” 6 min 23 Brilliant album reissue. Highly recommended. I couldn’t play less as the complete A-side. Hard progressive rock with small bluesrock touches, with a symphonic edge and with powerful female soulful rockvoice lead. Review : http://www.psychemusic.org/psych3.html#anchor_280 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. new psych : * Subliminal Sounds Dungen : 4 (S,2008)****’ Tr.1, “Sätt att Se” 5 min Tr.2, “Maleras finest” 3 min Tr.4, « Santidigt 1 » 4 min Another great and perfectly arranged new progressive album. Review : http://www.psychemusic.org/sweden.html#anchor_155 * Intrepid Sound Heavy Water Experiments : (US,2008)***° Tr.1, “Goldenthroat” 7 min Tr.7, “Octavian” 3 min Starting clear and song based, the album’s effect becomes more stoned psychedelic on their way.. This is the new band name for Immogene.
