AXE Not much is known about Axe other than them being from Northampton, as well as having a gorgeous female singer in the shape of Countess Vivienne! This cutting-edge band shone briefly but brightly with two of the best English psyche albums you're ever likely to hear, until Axe finally got the inevitable chop from their record company in 1974. 1969: Axe - Axe Music - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2ud_Y49ZUk 1969: Axe - Live & Studio - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbVUb0VUoZA&t=1302s |

AUTOSALVAGE A promising New York band whose sole album was met with universal critical acclaim at the time, but the band reckoned without commercial indifference and unable to salvage their clapped-out motor, Autosalvage ended up in the scrapyard of musical history before the sixties were out. 1968: Autosalvage - Autosalvage - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_ZFRbLISW4

THE ATTACK A short-lived London-based platoon formed by Don Arden (father of Sharon Osbourne), but in spite of releasing several singles, The Attack never managed to invade the British pop charts and to add to their troubles, the band became embroiled in a war with Jeff Beck over their cover version of Hi Ho Silver Lining and by the end of 1968 The Attack were in full retreat. 1967: The Attack - Magic in the Air - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwEkbVL-vNmmJqq0CCizfM1lq-yS0SBOh 1968: The Attack - Final Daze - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLM7k5L_U7M934uG-P9o66BCLRUEV7R_hp

A-Z of Psychedelic Rock
ARZACHEL The English band Arzachel (previously known as Uriel) had an excellent line-up. Their self-titled only album release featured legendary guitarist Steve Hillage and keyboard player Dave Stewart who later went on to achieve great success when he teamed up with Barbara Gaskin for "It's My Party (And I'll Cry If I Want To). Mont Campbell performed on vocals (also a vocalist with Egg and National Health) and the Impressive drummer on the album was Clive Brooks. They all appeared on this album under assumed names. Arzachel will appeal equally to fans of Psychedelic Rock, Progressive Rock and Space Rock. The first track "Garden of Earthly Delights" is a very promising and impressive opening to the album and nicely sets the scene for the album as a whole. The track features a very pleasant rock organ playing in the background overlaid with electric guitar and fine vocals. The track ends with some appealingly far-out psychedelic guitar playing from Steve Hillage. Track 2 "Azathoth" has a very religious feel to it, opening with a resonant church organ and charming ethereal vocals. The middle section of the song features some powerfully heavy and freaky guitar riffs, before returning to the more sedate sound of the church organ towards the end. Track 3 "Queen St. Gang" is an instrumental and it's the stand-out track on the album for me. Again, it features the magnificent sound of the organ under-laying the music as a whole, together with some gently laid-back drumming. Track 4 "Leg" opens with an impressive organ solo before launching into heavy electric guitar riffs, twinned with powerful bass and drumming in the rhythm section. After the deceptively quiet beginning, this track turns into a real out-and-out rocking barnstormer of a song. Track 5 "Clean Innocent Fun", at over 10 minutes long, begins as a slow and heavy, full-on psychedelic jam which gathers in pace and dramatic intensity as the song progresses and should appeal to fans of Jimi Hendrix. The final track on the album "Metempsychosis" is the longest number at over 16 minutes in length. The track opens with some freaky sound effects before launching into some powerful and throbbing Space Rock which is very reminiscent of Hawkwind's early albums. This is by far the heaviest track on the album and features some wonderfully freaky psychedelic guitar licks. The song has a hauntingly reflective middle section before returning to the heavy pounding rhythm for the grand finale to the album. 1969: Arzachel - Arzachel - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRW8bkl33yU&t=1s Edited by Psychedelic Paul - October 27 2023 at 09:46 |

ART Art for art's sake, Money for God's sake..... Hey, what's that sound? No, it's not 10cc, but English Psychedelic Rock band Art, with a cover version of the Buffalo Springfield classic, For What It's Worth, and if you think the Supernatural Fairy Tales album sounds spookily familiar, that's because all four band members shortly went on to form Spooky Tooth with Dream Weaver Gary Wright. 1967: Art - Supernatural Fairy Tales - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kYTncFalApzaOEX14X-BKmojgZ5efKj70 Edited by Psychedelic Paul - October 26 2023 at 08:41 |

A-Z of Psychedelic Rock ARS NOVA (Latin for "New Art") One of three bands named Ars Nova whose main claim to fame was having once opened for The Doors at the Fillmore East in 1968, but then split up shortly afterwards when they found that the doors were no longer open for them. 1968: Ars Nova - Ars Nova - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA5zQ1xNekgoScCJE_yVBc5QTCs65KAz8 1969: Ars Nova - Sunshine & Shadows - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lseeQiHjTSs0DBApk9jkwNmDHePwW7GBE Edited by Psychedelic Paul - October 26 2023 at 07:50 |

ARCESIA There's no doubt that the unique voice of crooner John Arcesi is an acquired taste. Only 300 copies of the original vinyl album were ever pressed, which were mostly given away to John's family and friends. If you're a serious collector of strange psych albums though and you'd like to add this ultra-rare vinyl album - with it's strange over-the-top vocals - to your collection for its novelty value, then you'd need to be Reachin' deep into your wallet to buy it as it's currently available on Amazon for a whopping £40! Better still, save your money. 1972: Arcesia - Reachin' - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLG-InimcgCwMkYWeSalpTI9AOK71wbKbV

1969: Arcadium - Breathe Awhile - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFtWctjASs8
ARCADIUM "Breathe Awhile" (1969) is another re-discovered rare album treasure from the archives. The British band Arcadium released this one amazing album before going their separate ways and disappearing without trace, in common with many other one- album bands of the late 1960's psychedelic era. The album is filled with the powerful resonating sound of the Hammond organ, twinned with some masterly way-out acid guitar leads for fans of Psychedelic Rock. The album features two epic, stand-out songs, running at over 10 minutes long, the first track "I'm on My Way" and the final track "Birth, Life & Death". There are no album-fillers on this album. Every song stands up well on its own merits and blends in perfectly with the album as a whole. The CD album also includes two bonus tracks featuring the two singles released the same year as the album. The epic album opener "I'm on My Way" is the highlight of the album. It's a hauntingly atmospheric song with a deliciously slow build-up after a deceptively quiet beginning. The spacey song features a delicately-played Hammond organ, laid-back acid guitar riffs, steady drumming, haunting ethereal voices and some atmospheric sound effects. The memorable song explodes into a full bore psychedelic jam of dramatic intensity around about the 9-minute mark, which should delight fans of way-out Acid Rock. Track 2 "Poor Lady" is a pure out-and-out rocker which maintains the fast pace from the previous song. Track 3 "Walk on the Bad Side" starts quietly with a gentle melody before bursting into life with some heavy guitar riffing and fast and wild Hammond organ-playing. Track 4 "Woman of a Thousand Years" is another up-tempo number with the ever-present Hammond organ blending nicely with acid guitar riffs and powerful drumming. Track 5 "Change Me" is one of those powerful and dramatically memorable songs that could have gone on to become a classic if it had received some radio airplay. Track 6 "It Takes a Woman" is another fast-paced Hard Rock song with a change of pace at the end to keep things interesting. Finally, this brings us to the second epic song "Birth, Life & Death" to play out the album. Everything is thrown into the mix for this song, including frantic Hammond organ-playing, wild psychedelic guitar riffs and a pounding drum beat, and the song also features a dramatic change of pace midway through, before concluding with a tremendous crescendo of sound. It's a perfect ending to a classic album. |

ANGEL IN HEAVY SYRUP Turning Japanese, I think I'm turning Japanese, I really think so.... Following on from ancient Japanese band Apryl Fool from Tokyo yesterday, comes the modern, all-female Angel in Heavy Syrup from Osaka today. Presumably, they're angels in heavy make-up too. 1991: Angel in Heavy Syrup - Angel in Heavy Syrup I - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQtc3evnzJM 1993: Angel in Heavy Syrup - Angel in Heavy Syrup II - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsXrw7GdsPY 1995: Angel in Heavy Syrup - Angel in Heavy Syrup III - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5dgG4mNgIU 1999: Angel in Heavy Syrup - Angel in Heavy Syrup IV - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_EXFd-vE0o |

APRYL FOOL Banzai! A special delivery from Interflora. This flowery Japanese outfit were once known as The Floral - who were no doubt practiced in the art of Ikebana - before changing their name to Apryl Fool. Don't get fooled again though, as this Japanese branch of the Monkees fan club may not have been around for much longer than April Fools' Day, but that just served as an appetiser for the two band members who went on to form the much longer-lasting Yellow Magic Orchestra! 1969: Apryl Fool - The Apryl Fool - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z24s7xZH3pA

APPLE They say an apple a day keeps the doctor away... Well, I don't eat fruit and veg and I don't need no doctor.
