Playlist “Psyche van het folk” Radio Centraal, Antwerpen (2005-6-15) : Bluesy psych reissues & broody, heavy & trippy new psychedelia. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ * Beatball Borealis : Sons of the sea (CAN,rec. 1970 or 1972)*°/ Professor Fuddle's Fantastic Fairy Tale Machine (CAN,rec.1970, produced 1974?)*° New reissue of rare, somewhat average-styled & dated bluesrockpsych-pop item, perhaps more interesting for completists, with a bonus rocktheatre LP with a few moments. Review : http://progressive.homestead.com/prog.html#anchor_56 * Gear Fab Rec. Majic Ship (US,1970)*°° Tr.7, “Down by the river/For what it’s worth” 11 min Tr.10, “Cosmo’s Theme” 4 min 15 New reissue of good but also slightly average poppsych item with a few hard rock tracks. I like best their medley based upon two tracks by CSNY. Review : http://progressive.homestead.com/prog.html#anchor_66 * Headspin Rec. Orange Sunshine : Homo Erectus (NL,1969)**°° Tr.6, “Girl, you…” 6 min Album is best to listen from beginning to end. This is heavy, primitive and distorted uptempo bluespsych. The group was heavily inspired by Blue Cheer. “Free” reminds a bit of The Kinks’ “Girl you really got me now..” sung in a slightly Stooges way, with great distorted electric guitars,...

Musikgruppen Radiomöbel : Gudang Garam (S,1978)****’ Tr.5, “Vaggvisa” 4 min Tr.7, “Flugornas Morgon” 16 min 20 -47 Reissue of great lost psychedelic/progressive gem. A must for collector’s of 70’s Swedish prog/psych. From Floydian improvisations towards folkrock progressive to partly improvised compositions with many structural changes and lots of ideas, played in a constant flow. Review : http://progressive.homestead.com/sweden.html#anchor_108 * Starless Rec. Alexander Kostarev Group : Live@inProg (RU,2003)*** Tr.11, “Concerto Grosso #1 part 5, Presto, finale” 5 min Tr.4, “A-Theist Hacker” 10 min 15 -60 Good, overloaded with live energy and fast and here at track 11 slightly blurry way of playing. New Russian symphonic rock from an interesting label. Review : http://progressive.homestead.com/prog6.html#anchor_37 * Orpheus Rec. Spids Noegenhat : En Markelig Kop Te (DK,2001)*°° Tr.2, “Hobittens Flyvetur” 7 min - Tr.6, “Nar Spindelvaevene Blomstrer” 10 min 17 -77 Slightly stoner song driven psychedelia. This first chosen track is a nice rhythmically drugged upbeat psychedelic track. The second chosen track is calm. Review : http://progressive.homestead.com/prog10.html#anchor_139 * G.I'm a C.Rec. The Spacious Mind : Rotvälta (S,2005)***° Tr.2, “(no title)” (fragment) 15 min -92 Best to listen to this album as to one trip. This is great slowly building up trippy music. I can imagine live they will create its absolute psychedelic effect. Review : http://progressive.homestead.com/sweden.html#anchor_102 * Strange Attr. Subarachnoid Space : The Red Veil (US,2005)**° Tr.1, “Honorable Mention” 5 min Trippy & heavy-stoned psychedelia with slight rockpsych evolution. Review : http://progressive.homestead.com/prog15.html#anchor_146 * Ipecac Rec. Guapo : Black Oni (UK,2005)***° Tr.1, “I” 4 min -101 Dark broody psychedelia. Reviews of 3 Guapo releases : http://progressive.homestead.com/prog2.html#anchor_57 * B.L.Ring Rec. Green Milk From The Planet Orange : City Calls Revolution (JAP,2005)***°’ Tr.3, “Demagog” 9 min Tr.4, “A day in the planet Orange” 39 min 48 -150 New fantastic “progressive rock” with strong R.I.O. and psychedelic elements. The group is very skilled in playing, improvisations and in composition.
