I like Motherfuckers that record understated albums with tape loops and are not really trying to make a big statement about anything...just letting the music flow. There was once a German music critic that went by the name of Hanslick who used to argue against musical analysis and extra-musical associations. In a paper he made a statement regarding the very title of this album "...Forms Moved in Sounding". Enjoy my lovely Bitches.

Sonny freaks without Cher Sonny Bono’s one and only solo album was released in 1967, just as Sonny & Cher’s hits and Cher’s solo success were winding entering a three-year drought. The obvious touchstone for this 5-track, 33-minute experimental outing is the Beatles Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band , which Sonny quotes in the album’s title track. But the acid-tinged lyrics (including quotes from both “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” and “A Day in the Life”) and pseudo-psych musical freakouts have neither the expanded consciousness nor musical [...]
The passion this band shows for its craft is easily apparent, and there is energy on this album that doesn’t exist within a lot of their peers. By John McLaughlin
Mirror People's newest single Kaleidoscope gets dragged to the depths of house. Mirror People - Kaleidoscope (Psychemagik Remix)
Oh. My. God. I don’t even know how to begin this review. I really don’t. I think I’ve said that before. How do you describe music that takes you from the shores of the most beautiful beach and drags you down to the hellish depths of the frightening sea? This concept album does just that. It describes the layers of the ocean going from light piano driven classical music to hellish sludge metal… and it’s all beautiful. The Ocean is a band that comes off as progressive metal, but [...]

Small Faces first U.S. release transitions from R&B to Freakbeat This 1967 album was Small Faces' U.S. debut, combining tracks from their self-titled third album (and first for the Immediate label) with three hit singles and two B-sides. Though the group had already established themselves in the UK, topping the British chart in 1966 with "All or Nothing," it was the single that is this album's first track, "ItchycooPark," that broke them in the U.S., charting at #16. This was also to be their biggest stateside hit, as the follow-on single, "Tin Soldier," fell [...]
Vow is at times warm and inviting, at others cold, haunting, and dark, and at all times beautifully arranged and composed, and missing this album would be a mistake. By John McLaughlin

'Scuse me for possibly being a little bit fashionably late for the party, but I got violently ill at the weekend and, well, some things (like being violently ill*) are more important than blogging. I've been rather enamoured of late by the new Ace Records Françoise Hardy compilation. which brings together her English language output between 1968 and 1972, a period when she worked a lot with Tommy Brown and Micky Jones (who also worked with Sylvie ; and then as Johnny 's backing [...]
A pounding bass drum and a cyclical guitar riff slip into a swaying flute rhythm before exploding into a whirl of electricity and an explosive chorus. Calm, dynamic and controlled: thus does “Mastranzas de Noches,” a psychedelic garage-folk adaptation of a classic Pablo Neruda poem, manage to provide one of the most memorable opening hooks of any psychedelic record to emerge from Latin America. This 1971 debut by Chile's Congreso is one of those rare, imperfect albums that somehow manages to hit a certain chord despite the noticeable flaws. A beautiful mix of jangling folk rock, cordillera accents and jazz [...]

Take some time and listen ‘cause this might be one of the best covers the year 2013 has offered us….
