I bought this recording a few days ago, because I love the two symphonies very much. There are playing not much string, but it sounds very good and clear.
This interpretation of the 1st Symphony is the best i ever heard! I hope you like it!
I found this one out there on the www. Do not know much about it except
it has a good amount of good old fashioned Hippie music. I always liked
this image which came from a Rick Griffin poster for a Quicksiver
concert at the Avalon. The music is a little rough around the edges but
considering it's age and the history it makes for some interesting
listening for some of us

It would have been great to have been at the opening night of the festival as the headliners were the ever excellent Show Of Hands,
who no doubt filled the stage with their usual musical clutter of
fiddles, guitars, squeezeboxes, mandolins, tales of old and new and
good time vibes.
Back at Wychwood Festival this year, Tunng put in the gig of the year for me (so far) as they were promoting the new album Comments Of The Inner Chorus. It was their first album Mother’s Daughter And Other Songs
that put an end to the idea that folk was (once again) as ancient and
irrelevant as “dyed-in-the-wood politico folkies like Ewan MacColl”
back in the 1950s — even if the album was inspired by the music of the
film The Wicker Man.
The first track on Gather In The Mushrooms
is taken from the soundtrack to the film. Tunng’s Sam Genders told me
that he hadn’t even scene the film when they were writing Mother’s Daughter.
The original soundtrack was by Magnet, a group put together
specifically to record the soundtrack by an American composer Paul
Giovanni. Magnet quickly disintegrated afterwards and Giovanni never
recorded anything again, but the music resonates more today than it did
even at the time of the film’s release in 1973.
While Eighteen Day Of May
are not shy of a touch of the Wicker Man influence, ‘Queen Of The
Moonlight World’ (by Andy Roberts, ex-The Scaffold and Pink Floyd’s The Wall
Tour Band) is a song arrangement that could have been written for them
when (in their Byrds mode). I bumped into the band’s guitarist Ben
Phillipson recently and he tells me the band are hoping to do some more
recording around Christmas, which is good news.
Eighteen Day Of
May covered a Bert Jansch track on their debut album and he’s
represented on the compilation with a track called ‘Silly Woman’. In
the mid sixties, Jansch and John Renbourn were a guitarist duo
(imaginatively called Bert & John) who went on to form the folk
rock super group Pentangle. John Renbourn (with Benjamin Wetherill)
will be appearing on 28th September and Jansh will be joining and Beth
Orton (and a very special guest) on stage the following day. When John
Peel saw Pentangle in 1969, commenting that the average age of the
audience was less than seventeen, in typical fashion he said “The hall
is so quiet between waves of ‘Lyke Wake Dirge’ that you can actually
hear people holding their breath.”
I’ll be bringing you some more retrospective news on John Peel
next month as I’ve been in touch with Julie Dyble, who I first came
across earlier this year as part of the short lived duo, Trader Horn
(with Jackie McAuley) on the album Loose Chippings from the Fairport Convention Family Tree.
It was good to hear that she has recently started recording new
material so, you never know, she may be at a future Festival Of Folk?
Julie was the first singer with Fairport Convention so she has been ‘on
the scene’ from the very start.
Talking of Fairport, arguably
their best-known singer was Sandy Denny and ‘Milk And Honey’ (written
by ex-boyfriend Jackson C. Frank) is one of her solo tracks from the
mid sixties. Vashti Bunyan is described in the sleeve notes as having a
‘quavering near-whisper of a voice’ but she was another leader in the
sixties folk rock explosion (while today, Mia Doi Todd has been
compared to Bunyan). Another great song by a female singer is ‘Love
Song’ by Lesley Duncan.
The CD ends with a very long track by a
group called Comus that is all about the mushrooms (or witchcraft, rape
or murder?) that as first you think is the usual psych / prog rock come
free jazz self-pandering that you need to ignore. I’d urge you to
reconsider, this is the opus that falls between an unlikey mix of
Tunng, Eighteenth Day Of May and Pere Ubu.
While on the subject of odd, on the edge as ever is Lupen Crook (supporting Jim Moray, 20th September). The debut album Accidents Occur while Sleeping
contains nothing like his ‘Rosemary Hill’ elegance but then again,
there are similarities with arrangements and tempos, if not the subject
matter, of Lupen’s tunes.
There are some great tracks on this
CD and by the strength of the line up The Spitz, whether its acid,
alt., nu, psych or just plain old folk, I think it’s safe to say the
underground has survived the mushrooms. The Spitz is definitly the
place to be in September for a festival of great music, even if the
average age of the crowd will be over seventeen. How times change? ~Gerry Hectic

Unquestionably
a harbinger of the times, A Cid Symphony -- a folk-and-ethnic music
collective that incorporated instruments as wide-ranging as dulcimer,
hand-held brass, and Hindustani ankle bells into their extended Middle
Eastern-cum-country and folk music drones -- was instigated and helmed
by Dustin Mark Miller. Miller, was a part of the mid-'60s Free Speech
Movement at UC Berkeley, spending his time selling protest records to
raise money for the movement. The musical passion stuck, so in 1966 he
enlisted old pal and neighbor Charles Ewing, whom he had known since
kindergarten, and Ernie Fischbach to start a folk/ethnic flower-child
band aligned with the San Francisco Diggers. Ewing was an avid flamenco
guitar aficionado, and he had met Fischbach while the two were in
graduate school together at Cal State Long Beach. The two shared a
passion for music, and Ewing soon discovered Fischbach could play any
instrument with strings, as well as drums and harmonica. The trio
converged in Los Angeles and A Cid (originally Acid) Symphony was born.
Early
in the band's genesis, Fischbach married teenage model Deborah Cleall,
who promptly became a part of the group, which, more like a collective,
soon grew into a loose group of nomadic friends, a family, a tribe.
John Goeckermann and Tom Harris often added their percussive skills, and David Goines contributed as well. A Cid Symphony began
playing mostly at colleges, often with like-minded peers the Firesign
Theatre and sponsored by friends, Students for a Democratic Society, or
whoever would support the music. They also crashed the Monterey Pop
Festival, playing on the grounds of the festival and meeting Ravi
Shankar. According to Digger principles, the band would hold free
concerts at which they fed everyone that showed up.
When the
band earned its first write-up in the Sunday Los Angeles Times, they
all quit their jobs on the spot and migrated to the San Francisco Bay
Area, where Ewing and Fischbach studied Hindustani music at the Ali
Akbar (Khan) College of Music. San Francisco music columnist Ralph J.
Gleason introduced Miller to Max Weiss of Fantasy Records. Weiss
allowed the band to use Fantasy's studios, and they recorded and
released their first and only record, a self-titled triple LP, in 1967,
published by the Thermal Flash Music label of Denise Kaufman, an
original Merry Prankster. Fischbach and crew went on to play with the
Golden Toad, one of California's premier folk/ethnic music bands led by
Bob Thomas and a sister band of sorts to the Grateful Dead. They would
often join A Cid Symphony at functions such as the Renaissance Pleasure
Faire. By the late '60s, after three years together, A Cid Symphony
dissolved for the most part as a collective musical entity. Miller and
Ewing's families, however, went on to live communally for the next two
decades. ~ Stanton Swihart, All Music Guide

Ibliss wurden 1971 im Rheinland gegründet und spielten progressiven Jazzrock mit Hauptaugenmerk auf den Schlaginstrumenten, ohne Gesang, vergleichbar vielleicht mit Embryo, Brainstorm, Xhol oder Thirsty Moon.
Andreas Hohmann hatte auf der ersten LP von Kraftwerk das Schlagzeug gespielt und Basil Hammoudi auf der einzigen LP der Kraftwerk-Vorläufer Organisation die Perkussion. Bekannte Namen also.
Die einzige Ibliss-LP, 'Supernova', wurde 1972 unter der Leitung von Conny Plank aufgenommen und in kleiner Auflage auf dem Aamok-Label veröffentlicht, einem Unterlabel von Spiegelei. 2008 erschien eine illegale CD-Ausgabe von 'Supernova' auf dem Bootleg-Label Retro Disc International. Dieses billige Machwerk wurde laut den Angaben auf der Hülle in Spanien gefertigt, stammt aber in Wirklichkeit aus Deutschland.
I think, Bax' music is one of the best and most beautitful ever composed - with a very romantic-lyric, but modern sound ...unfortunately unknown to many people - for musicians, too!!! This box is very rare in Germany and (!) expensive... so not everybody has the chance to buy it... now get it and enjoy!
Many greetings and please comment... do you like it? Or not? ;)
The latest Opus Magnum of Magical Unicellular Music was recorded on 08.08.08 (dauy of Russia -Georgia-Osetian war started) at "Snegiri" studio in Moscow.
It implements not a regular groove only but a big architectural form of dynamic development created together with noise wizard Lampi from Minsk, famous Bimka from St-Petersburg, playing with his fingers on the naked electronics boards and Bad Seed on sax.
A finest event in a Magical Unicellular Music so far.
Of the many garage bands who released unrecognized and obscure singles in the mid-'60s, the Mystic Tide were one of the very best. The Long Island group released four singles on their own labels in 1965 and 1967, mostly for distribution at their own gigs (and apparently they didn't sell too well there, either). While the production on these is fairly raw, the group had genuine original talent, pursuing a dark, psychedelic vision with overloaded distorted guitar breaks. Their tunes (all written by guitarist Joe Docko) combined the minor-key melodies of British Invasion groups like the Zombies with the raunch of acts like Them. Unlike most other American groups following this path, however, they added a mysterioso (at times vaguely Middle Eastern) element that echoed the innovations of groups like the Doors, the Velvet Underground, and the very early Pink Floyd and Soft Machine, though the Mystic Tide most likely didn't hear any of these groups. Their sound and outlook were perhaps too foreboding for even local success, and the group disbanded in 1967, ironically finding a much greater audience when their singles were reissued for psych/garage collectors in the '80s (~Richie Unterberger - allmusic.com) Line-Up: Joe Docko - lead guitar and vocals Jim Thomas - rhythm guitar, back vocals Paul Picell - bass, back vocals John Willians - drums

One of the three legendary Pilz folk albums from the early 1970s German scene. Of the three, Bröselmaschine were certainly the most "folky". The five-piece lineup included primarily male and female vocals with acoustic guitar. As accents to various songs, the band added electric guitar, bass, hand percussion, flute, sitar, zither and mellotron.
Overall, Bröselmaschine is the type of album to sooth ones nerves after a hard days work. Not particularly experimental or groundbreaking, but for fans of early Hoelderlin, Emtidi or other such cosmic folk bands, Bröselmaschine is a must pick up.
