Schlachtvieh - Ein Rock-Oratorium gegen den Krieg (Rare 1980 German Experimental Psych Cosmic Heavy Krautrock LP on Kanon)

 

Very nice Experimental German LP with psych, cosmic, prog touches !

Absolutely stunning and rare German Progressive Krautrock album. It has it all, great male/female vocals, great Hammond organ and amazing fuzz guitars, flute, fantastic psychedelic effects and spooky vocal narrations on two tracks! It sounds like it was recorded in the early 70’s.
(review by an ebay seller)
Two excellent Heavy Kraut tracks : A4. Kreuzzug and B4. Friedenslied. 


Listen : Schlachtvieh - Ein Rock-Oratorium gegen den Krieg - 1980 (The whole album) 

Tracklist :

 00.00. Einleitung (Kinderstimmen)
 06.14. Zwei Männer (Wolfgang Borchert)
 07.12. Josua (Altes Testament)
 10.42. Kreuzzug (Novalis)
 17.13. Menschenjagd (Ernst von Salomon)

 26.47. Zwei Männer (Wolfgang Borchert)
 28.25. Elegie (Krystof Baczynski)
 34.07. Friedenslied (Raimon)


Complete with the original inner sleeve !

A bizarre album in the tradition of earlier underground left-field "Polit Rock" Krautrock acts like Floh De Cologne, Lokomotive Kreuzberg, Oktober or Checkpoint Charlie, but given a whole new twist with lots of avant-garde percussives, electronics and mutilated guitars. A surreal piece of theatre with aptly surreal music, and menacing/startling texts delivered by a variety of voices: male, female, spoken, acted, sung and all delivered with a great deal of imagination and originality.

Shalom Riot - Wie mit Rauschen das Meer (Rare and great 1984 German Heavy Xian Krautrock LP on Daviton)

 

One of the best (if not THE best!!) German XIAN Prog Rock LP !!!
Excellent early 70s style progressive krautrock with fantastic hammond organ, superb fuzz guitar and strong male and female vocals. The LP is a rarity from 1984, but it has the atmosphere and lots of elements of Green Brain, Pilz or Ohr releases of that wonderful time.
Strongly RECOMMENDED, even for early 70s secular progressive rock collectors !!!


 Listen : A2. Erste Liebe & B1. Wie mit Rauschen das Meer & B4. Traume & A1. Singt Einen Lobgesang

 

Truly an excellent LP !!!

Turley Richards - From Darkness to Light (Rare 1972 US Private Psych Folk LP)

 

Turley Richards (born Richard Turley June 12, 1941 in Charleston, West Virginia) is an American singer and guitarist.
Richards was blinded in the left eye at the age of four in an archery accident, and lost sight in the right eye as well some years later. He first began playing in a group called The Five Pearls while still a teen in the 1950s. His first appearance on record was a single titled "All About Ann", released on Cincinnati, Ohio label Fraternity Records.
He moved to Los Angeles with an ensemble in the early 1960s, but his band failed and he returned to West Virginia. Later in the 1960s he moved to New York. He played the uptown East Side local Bar's (Malachy's II) (72nd & Lexington) and eventually found success in New York. He released his debut album on Warner Bros. Records in 1970. He scored two minor hit singles in the US in the early 1970s.
Turley Richards' "From Darkness To Light - Solo Concert" is the most complex and illustrative album of his incredible talents.

Tony Ray - 4db Hot (Excellent 1975 Canadian Guitar oriented Psych Rock on Polaris)

 

Rare and great 1975 Canadian Psychedelic Rock LP with sharp electric guitar leads !
Released on the little Polaris label (Windsor, Ontario).

Semi-hard rock LP, not overly heavy, actually bordering on FM southern or rural rock often. The lead guitar is the highlight in a lot of places. Highlights by far are the track "I want to talk to you" and the Marshall Tuckeresque "I want you, You Want Me". (reviewed by oldmanwithaponytai on rateyourmusic).

Listen : A4. I Wanna Talk to You  &  B4. I'll Ride For Free

The whole LP is available on YouTube right now !


 Don't miss this little gem in a close to perfect condition !!!

F.J. McMahon - Spirit of the Golden Juice (First 1998 Private reissue of this 1969 Loner/Downer SSW masterpiece)

 

Originally pressed in a small quantity and scattered along the California coastline in 1969, F.J. McMahon's first and only album, Spirit Of The Golden Juice, is a spell-binding blend of singer-songwriter emotion and spiraling guitar accompaniment with a raw, adventurous character all its own.

Spirit of the golden juice is a record described by Mojo magazine as feeling like "it's always been playing and you've just walked in the middle of it". It's brilliant, F.J. is something of an American Nick Drake. Basically, Fred (the F in F.J) was playing sunny, light-hearted West Coast pop tunes in local bands until he was called up to Vietnam, an experience which emotionally crippled him. He returned home and began to protest the war, even helping his friends dodge the draft. A couple of years later, McMahon scraped together a modest budget and spent an afternoon recording in a studio paid for by a local label. Somehow managing to channel the same tortured, beleaguered tone laid down by Robert Johnson, Skip James, Blind Lemon Jefferson all along the way. The album is slow, measured and considered, but never once feels depressing, preachy or forced. Like a weary travelogue, describing an emotional landscape that outlasted the geography of the jungle. 

This is the first 1998 private reissue of this masterpiece !

John J. Francis - Breaks, Works & Thoughts (Amazing 1973 Australian Folk Psych Flute Rock LP on Warner Bros)

 

John's second album, 'Breaks, Works and Thoughts', was released in 1973 and included the iconic 'Simple Ben', which is featured on the 'Morning of the Earth' movie soundtrack, the hit single 'Play Mumma, Sing Me a Song', as well as the driving 'Bop Right Over You' and the strikingly powerful and distinctively original 'Steel Man'.

John J. Francis - Rock 'n' Roll Refugee (Rare 1972 Australian Folk Psych Flute Rock masterpiece on Warner Bros)

 

1972 saw the release of John's first solo album 'Rock 'n' Roll Refugee', featuring the first triple-gate fold out LP cover, through Warner Brothers. The album was recorded "live" in the studio in two three-hour sessions at Copperfield Studios and was produced by the then A&R head of Pye Records in England, Alan A. Freeman. 'Rock 'n' Roll Refugee' contained many of the songs John was playing live at the time and, although it received very little airplay or publicity, managed to generate sales well into the mid-thousands.


 

This is an outstanding bluesy psychy proggy folky rock record with a lot of flute !

Listen : B2. Horse and Carriage  &  A3. A Dream ... Anytime 

An excellent album from start to finish ... one of the best records ever released in Australia !!!


A true masterpiece in my humble opinion !!!
