Aguaturbia are one of my more exciting discoveries of the past few years, along with Catherine Ribiero + Alpes. Both ladies have unique and mesmerising voices and vocal styles.

I'll go a bit left field and recommend one of the strangest albums I've ever heard, of the psychedelia genre, or any other genre for that matter.

The album in question being 'Cosmic Remembrance' by Kali Bahlu (1967).


Here's the title track.

A-Z of Psychedelic Rock

ANDWELLAS DREAM     Love and Poetry is an album to covet, and I absolutely love it, but their last album as Andwella, was a very poor seller, which led to the end of the band, who disappeared like castles in the sand. Confused

A-Z of Psychedelic Rock

ANDROMEDA     Calling occupants of interplanetary craft. We're off to the Andromeda galaxy now for an album that is light years ahead of its time, so stock up with dilithium crystals and power up to warp factor five and prepare for a journey of a lifetime as we go faster than the speed of light! Okay, so that was a bit over the top by way of an introduction, but what does it matter or antimatter. Wink 

This long-forgotten British album treasure from the late 1960's era has experienced something of a a revival with the advent of the Internet. The original vinyl album was released in 1969 and a new Definitive Collection 2-CD set was released in the year 2000, containing a wealth of bonus tracks. The album straddles the transitional period from Psychedelic Rock to Progressive Rock and this can be heard on the album with significant elements of both genres of music very much in evidence. The line-up features John Du Cann on vocals who later went on to achieve success with Atomic Rooster. The highlights of the album are the three epic 3-part songs, running at roughly 8 minutes long. The three lengthy epics feature beautifully melodious renditions of well-known classical favourites, cleverly combined with heavy solid rock to make a truly unforgettable rock album as a whole. Andromeda should appeal equally to fans of Psychedelic Rock and Proto-Prog.

The album opener "Too Old" is a real rocker featuring powerful ascending guitar arpeggios in the opening chords which really grab the attention and serve as a perfect opening to a superb album. There's an interesting change of pace nearly two minutes into the song when John Du Cann's impressive vocals kick-in. The vocals, heavy guitar riffs, throbbing bass and pounding drums combine together to make a very memorable and impressive song. "The Sea of Change" is the second song on the album, featuring a steadier pace with some very pleasant guitar riffs and soaring vocals. There's a powerful guitar and drum break halfway through the song, before returning to a steadier tempo for the conclusion. Track 3 "Now the Sun Shines" is a beautifully melodic and laid-back song with richly-warm uplifting vocals from John Du Cann, which makes a very pleasant interlude and nicely compliments the previous two heavier songs. Next up is "Turns To Dust", a hard-rocking number and the first of the 3-part epic songs. The song features a very appealing change of pace to a gentler tempo in the second section, before launching into some really heavy guitar riffs and fast-paced drumming to round off a memorably epic number. Track 5 "Return To Sanity" opens with the very familiar and powerful sound of Gustav Holst's "Mars" from The Planets Suite. This awesome opening to the second epic 8-minute song is a real highlight of the album. The song feature some wonderfully freaky psychedelic guitar riffs, combined with a solid rhythm section. There are dramatic changes of pace throughout the song which adds to the appeal. Track 6 "The Reason" is a traditional rocker with skilful changes of tempo to maintain the listener's interest, followed by "I Can Stop the Song" which represents another change of pace with some gentle guitar playing and warm and pleasant vocal harmonies. Track 8 "When To Stop" is the third of the 3-part epic songs on the album. The song opens in traditional style with some hard-rocking guitar and drumming, before taking a surprising change of direction midway through the song with a beautifully-played rendition of Rodrigo's Guitar Concerto, a deeply emotional and uplifting piece of music which sends the spirits soaring. Track 9 on the album "Go Your Way" is an out-and-out rocker and Track 10 "Keep Out 'Cos I'm Dying" has a slower more bluesy feel to it with a dramatic change of tempo partway through the song. This is followed by the "The Garden of Happiness", a song which continues in similar style with some wild psychedelic guitar licks and impressive drumming. Another album highlight is the next song, "Return To Exodus", an uptempo and powerful guitar-driven version of the classic theme from Exodus. The final song "Journey's End" rounds off the album perfectly with a reprise of the stunningly beautiful version of "Rodrigo's Guitar Concerto" which affirms the fully-deserving five star status of this outstanding album.. - (My very first album review, written back in October 2019) Thumbs Down

THE AMBOY DUKES     Lock up your daughters! The Amboy Dukes were the original wild boys of Psychedelic Rock. Originating in the windy city of Chicago, Illinois, they're best-remembered now as the first band of certified gun nut and budding axe-man Ted Nugent, so if you're itching to check out this fine band, then put it down to cat scratch fever!

A-Z of Psychedelic Rock

THE AGGREGATION     1968: A Mind Odyssey first entered our consciousness the same year as 2001: A Space Odyssey, but whereas Stanley Kubrick's epic sci-fi fantasy explored the endless depths of outer space, Los Angeles band The Aggregation explored the inner workings of the mind. So turn on the lava lamp, light up a joss stick and get ready to explore those cerebral final frontiers as we go on a mind-boggling psych trip to the centre of the mind. It's worth knowing that The Aggregation were one of the few rock bands to perform regularly at Disneyland, where fantasy becomes reality, or is it the other way around? By the way, all of the songs on the album are a cryptic reference to the aforementioned amusement park, so prepare for a wild ride! Smile

Well, my understanding of proto-Prog is not quite like that, but I could label Breathe Awhile as Psychedelic Rock too. Smile

AFTERGLOW    Why not bathe in the warm Afterglow of this Californian sun-drenched acid trip, which was later reissued on Sundazed Records, appropriately enough, and if there's any hope of ever finding this ultra-rare album at your local charity shop or car boot sale, then Dream Away! Wink
