from the LP Social Gathering, Polydor Records, 1970This is the sound of one’s brain reacting with psychedelic drugs. I don’t really know what else to say… Um, well, they hailed from Japan, and I’m not sure if it was Owsley or the Family making trips over to Tokyo in the late ‘60s/early ‘70s, but these cats were definitely well-furnished with the appropriate chemicals! They are all over the place here, fittingly, but underneath all the weird sound effects and processing, they ably demonstrate above-competent musical ability. The far-out song title is just icing on the cake---albeit, dosed icing on a cake cooked with pot butter!
