The Deviants -- PTOOFF!

  Just imagine if Syd Barrett, while he was in Pink Floyd, was more of a beatnik'd, hard edged 60's punker, 'cause that's what you have here ... funny enough the band, save for the singer, went on to form the Pink Fairies. 

Flower Travellin' Band -- Satori


  What if the first two Sabbath albums had a freeform rhythmic pulse, rather than a sludge through molasses, you'd have the Flower Travellin' Band's Satori!

The Red Crayola -- The Parable Of Arable Land

  The Red Crayola are the Sonic Youth of the 60's, these guys preempted noise, punk and indie rock with one fatal swoop ... kinda fuckin' amazing, if you ask me!

Pink Floyd -- Obscured By Clouds

  Maybe not the type of music that a typical Floyd fan will be looking for, but for everyone else, Obscured By Clouds is like a long lost Hawkwind album!

Eric's Trip -- Purple Blue

  Purple Blue is the perfect stoner indie punk, but somehow it looks and sounds like an Elevator album, Rick's next project, so it has foreshadowing too!

Lou Reed -- New York

  The album New York is Lou Reed doing what he does best, low down street inspired city rock 'n' roll, but it's got a Velvet Undergroud influenced dad rock feel to it.

Leonard Cohen -- Death Of A Ladies' Man

  Death Of A Ladies' Man has that 50's inspired giant 70's rock band style that Phil Spector experimented with John Lennon, but instead it's Leonard Cohen singing ... so weird and hilariously enough they mention, in the liner notes, where they got their liquor and pizza from!
