Notes on The Metamorphosis

Gotta copy and paste this one:

Quintessence - In Blissful Company

Oboy, Oboy, I am very excited to post this cd! Quintessence is a very unique and influential band, hailing from Great Britain, and this stuff is very psychedelic. There are heavy grooves lead by a stellar rhythm section, great chant-like vocals, beautiful guitar and flute work, and a medley of other goodies. In case you couldn't tell by the title and album art, this was intended to be a very spiritual cd. All of the members of the band were Hindu's and Hare Krishna's and the Eastern influence is definitely evident in the instrumental and vocal content. In Blissful Company is some of the most beautiful music I have heard. Do yourself a favor and download this cd. Oh yeah, I almost forgot:

Om tat sat
O, mother when shall I be blessed by joining your blissful company

Thee Mighty Caesars - Caesar's Remains

Continuing with this punk theme from The Urinals, we have here Thee Mighty Caesars' Caesar's Remains. The album is a compilation of songs from 1985-1992, The band was formed by Billy Childish (real name Steven John Hamper, heh), an awesome artist of many mediums. The Mighty Caesars came to be after the end of Hamper's previous band, Thee Milkshakes. They've been described as punk, I think the word garage should be in the label, 'cause that to me is the closest you get to describing this band. Maybe garage-punk? What? I don't know. Regardless, It's a great cd, I recommend checkin' it out. Cadalina gets me goin'.

Urinals - Negative Capability... Check It Out!

I picked up Negative Capability... Check It Out! a couple of months ago when I was in New York at a pretty cool record store called Other Music. It was a total impulse buy and turned out to be a pleasant surprise. The Urinals have a very unique sound that eludes easy categorization. I can say with certainty that they are a punk rock band...THE punk rock band, maybe. The Urinals are the most raw and sloppy punk band I have ever heard. At times it almost sounds like they only learned how to play their instruments a day before they became a band. But instrumental proficiency and complex composition aren't really important when the energy is this high. You will hear songs on this cd that you have heard before, but they are so fucked up beyond all recognition that you probably won't recognize them. Exhibit A: The Jetson's Theme. There's also a great rendition of Roky Erickson's You're Gonna Miss Me, which I would say is one of the first Punk Rock songs.

So sit back, turn up your speakers, and enjoy having your eardrums blown out!

Agoraphobic Nosebleed - Altered States of America

This is the most brutal album ever. Agoraphobic Nosebleed made the Guinness Book of World Records after this record came out for most songs (99) on a cd. Within these 99 songs, there is mention of the Japanese subway gassings, the cult religion Makihari, forced LSD usage and research into its potential as a weapon, cannibalism, incest, etc. They are a metal group but do not fit into classification or sub-genre very well... This cd is completely postmodern. Give it a listen and see for yourself. I'd recommend listening to it all the way through with headphones while reading the lyrics. They are very hard to understand.

Here are the lyrics:

Bruce Haack - The Electric Lucifer

Bruce Haack's "The Electric Lucifer" is rightly considered one of the masterworks of 20th century electronic music. Originally recorded in 1968 and 1969 (and released in 1970) it is an album both unique in conception and super in realization. An eminently listenable work where Pop-Psychedelia and Moog/musique-concrete sounds coalesce around Haack's central metaphysical concept of "Powerlove," a force so powerful that it could end war and unify humankind. Acclaimed upon its original release (one of Rolling Stones favourite albums of 1970 amongst many citations) yet unavailable for over three decades, "The Electric Lucifer" is presented here for the first time on CD! Remastered and restored from the original master tapes recently discovered in the Columbia vault (and featuring two previously unreleased bonus tracks)... "The Electric Lucifer" is your gateway to the profound yet playful universe of Bruce Haack, a "far-out" place where flower-power and inner-space electronics collide!

- Back of jewel case

As electronic music has been popularized on the dance floor in this backwards generation, it is refreshing to hear an electronic record that is meant to be listened to... even if its 40 years old. A moog masterpiece, "The Electric Lucifer" is a delight to listen to, and perhaps even important(!), to hear an earlier electronic music that we might not expect when thinking of the genre. This record is measured meticulously yet still completely insane, and I repeat, a real delight to listen to.
