Blow Your Cool: 20 Prog/Psych Assaults
V.A. - Blow Your Cool: 20 Prog/Psych Assaults from the UK and Europe (2007)
Blow Your Cool presents 20 previously uncomped prog/psych assaults from the UK & Europe, 1969-1974. So here we are again one and all; scoop neck Mr. Freedom T's freshly laundered, split-knee loons fashionably fading, with another 20 swift excursions into that amorphous hybrid of prog and psych, so loved by today's cognoscenti. And what nefarious delights are in store for the voyager? May we present the young Linda Lewis, Atomic Rooster's drummer re-located to Italy, a top prog outfit comprising four Moroccan Jews and a Belgian soul band gone all weird. With 16 other strange pleasures, how could any self-respecting head refuse? Compiled by legendary psych musician and Psychic Circle label-head, Nick Saloman (The Bevis Frond). Artists include: Paradise Hammer, Barry Freeman & Strange Power, Primitive Man, The Foundations, Dream Police, Tritons, Mogul Thrash, Ferris Wheel, Triangle, Zior, The Rattles, Freedom, Bluebeard, Paul Ryder & Time Machine, Variations, Egg, Jess & James, Bedlam, Swegas and Cosmic Dealer.
