MUSIC

4.5 stars. One of the absolute best albums I've heard in this late 60's psyche style with those typical 60's sounding female vocals. She has a higher pitched voice than I'm used to hearing from this era but certainly sings in that style. I really like her and the guitar is incredible, fuzzed out or not this guy can play and does! A lot of controversy around this record simply called "Music" and you'd be better to read Sagi's review on the details. It was released as a demo and then the record label Kissing Spell got a hold of it and radically changed some stuff without the band's permission. That was released in 1993.

They were a 5 piece out of England no keyboards but two guitarists with one of them playing acoustic. The band covers a LOVE song from "Forever Changes" called "A House Is Not A Motel". Uptempo and catchy with vocals leading the way. Drums and guitar are great especially the latter. My favourite song is "Strange Sights & Crimson Nights". Kind of folky to start but man those vocals. I like when that beat kicks in around a minute. The guitar is so tripped out as we get a long instrumental section. She's back around 4 minutes in as we get the intro repeated along with the other themes. The guitar is amazing here. That instrumental "Dark Vision" certainly is dark and man again the guitar is so impressive. I'm a big fan of "The Child Dreams" where we get some tape manipulation and a haunting soundscape. It clears as vocals and guitar take over and away we go in this 9 minute psychedelic beauty.

I'm just rating the music and yes I'm a huge fan of what was done here.
