Totally agree on Walking With Thee - very good indeed! The other 3 suck (whining singing) - like a totally different band. Er... masks?

This is the first mention of the Instant Automatons I've spotted on the list. Great band that I enjoyed loads during my "Cassette Music/Free Music" phase in the early eighties. Still got all the tapes and odd 7 inch. The enthusiasm that whole scene inspired in me I recognize in some of the home-grown mp3 label sites that I see popping up nowadays. http://www.miasmah.com is a good example. I'm off to dig out my old tape of 'Blues Musicians Of The Humber Delta'. :) MarkM ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 2 Sep 2004 04:48:52 -0700 (PDT) From: Derek White Subject: Re: [idealcopy] Wire On The Box Is Here Funny you should mention this:- the guy in question, Mike Fiddler, came blurting out of my radio just the other day on an 'oldies' show, with Med Head's 2nd chart single 'Rising Sun'. Strange but true:- Med Head were ,I think, John Peel's first signing to his very own 'Dandelion' records label in the early / mid 70's..........they subsequently sank pretty much without trace....:-) However, that, and 'Pictures in the Sky' the other chart single are their (thin) footprint.

Anyone concur that Dr Strangely Strange But Oddly Normal's Album 'Kip Of The Serenes' is pretty much thee hardcore hippyness release? //////////////// Aha ! An area I have more than a nodding aquaintance with......:-0 Hmmm. Dr Strangely Strange's "KOTS" Is certainly *is* pretty lame, even down to the "sittin' in a field with my accoustic and my ol' lady" pic on the cover, and is *certainly* up there with all of the accoustic duo era Tyranosaurus Rex stuff, isn't it ? (Sorry, Keith A, but facts have to be faced....!) . Definitely file with Donavan, etc, who's own 'Cosmic Wheels' is worthy of inclusion....... I'd like to suggest the following worthy contenders, too:- 1) "The Holy Modal Rounders Eat the Moray Eels":- The Holy Modal Rounders : I suppose their best known piece is their contribution to the 'Easy Rider' soundtrack, "If you want to be a bird":- the whole album is more of the same, with such delights as "The STP song", "My Mind capsized", and "Last night I saw the werewolf" being particularly fine examples of the genre. 2) "Balaklava":- Pearls before Swine :- Fey acoustic stuff from one-man - -band Tom Rapp, with whispery voices, sound FX, and lyrics 'a la mode'. 3) "Mass in F Minor":- The Electric Prunes:- another 'Easy Rider' contribution: just a lot of psychedelic fuzzed guitar wailing. or 4) "Joseph Byrd and the field hippies":- 2nd release from United States of America head honcho Joseph Byrd:- whereas *that* S/T album was innovative, (and even now, worth a listen particularly as it's just been re-released) this album was unusual in that the instrumental line-up was guitar-less, instead employing primitive electronics (in the days before the Moog synth) electric violin and a fretless bass, JB and the Field Hippies was just plain EMBARRASSING.. !! A possible rival to Dr S.S. Then for psychedelic-isms there's always Yo La Tengo's version of 'The Simpsons' theme they did for an episode (the one parodying Ben & Jerry, I guess.) Backwards guitar, citars:- it's all here, folks...... :- or pretty much ANY Grateful Dead disc......I'm sure there are plenty of others. I'll mooch through my old vinyl pile.......;-) Quicksilver Messenger Service's "Happy Trails", anyone........ Yahoo!

Liked the first Clinic album - especially the single, The Return of Evil Bill, even if it did nick the My Generation bassline. Never felt any big urge to get anything else by them though. But yeah, the new album's reviews have been very mixed.
