This is one of the best sites for finding and listening to tracks from albums you may have
never heard. This is not a download/pirating site, but a music appreciation site and one of
the most visited in the world. (I believe it is UK based)
I had been searching for some of these tracks to share to no avail, until I thought to
check last.fm
So here is one of the most beautifully strange songs from a totally unique folk psych album...
Balaklava by Pearls Before Swine...keep clicking right through the album!!
That intro is the actual recording of Trumpeter Lamfrey, the last surviving bugler
from the Charge Of the Light Brigade.
Be sure to listen to "I Saw The World"....remarkably beautiful....
http://www.last.fm/music/Pearls+Before+Swine/Balaklava
So see if you can find a band or album that you have been wanting to hear or share...
they aren't ALL there, but a hell of a lot are!!

Nonesuch is still quite prolific today and is a subsidiary of..guess what ...
.ELEKTRA!
It was founded by Jac Holzman in '64 --for classical recordings which concentrated
on chamber and BAROQUE music! Tons of classical records in the 60's. 
Nonesuch delved into more folk, jazz, blues, pop, and rock music after Jac sold
ELEKTRA to Warner.
I have a bunch of records on Nonesuch--Steve Forbert. Current and past artists-
Shawn Colvin, Bobby McFerrin, Joni Mitchell, Bjork, John Adams, Charlie Feathers, Randy Newman, T Bone Burnett, Guy Clark, Brian Eno, k.d.lang, David Sanborn, Ry Cooder.....
well a ton still today. Nice label, I guess.
Too much information? Never mind.

The " Montage" band/project released an album in 1968. It was produced and arranged by Michael Brown , keyboardist/songwriter(walk away rene, pretty ballerina) of The Left Bank. I have the Sundazed CD.
It's basically Brown's solo album, worth the purchase and full of the Baroquepop delite. good subject, lk!

Time for an all time favorite.
#2 on MOJO's Top 100 & #19 on Rolling Stones Top 500.....
We already knew that !!
ASTRAL WEEKS.....only #2? Gotta cut Morrison some slack, Van was only 23 years old.
Here are two full cuts from last.fm...Madam George is sooo good! But the whole album is seamless....perfect!
http://www.last.fm/music/Van+Morrison/Astral+Weeks
And a brilliant 1970 live recording of "Cyprus Avenue" at the Fillmore..sans the usual light show.
Van needed no help from the lighting crew!

Blues Magoos....at the forefront of psychedelic music explosion...
as early as 1966.
If you haven't listened in a while, here are full listens on all but
two tracks from Psychedelic Lollipop...my first real psychedelic LP...I forget whether I got this OR the Mother's "Freak Out!" in the summer of '66. My mind was blown!

Yay!!! I got my Plastic Cloud CD today! Amazon is very so prompt and cool. Great sounds like I like it! fuzzy guitar, snappy snare and neat rolls, songs about war and outer space, and the cringe-factor is zero. A real jem. Members thank 'Technicolor Web Of Sound's help.
It's no masterpiece...it's a freaking psych-rock blast!

Dinosaur Swamps The Flock
Great album title...brilliant jazz/rock with great horn and electric violin! I call it jazz rock psych!
Give a listen to the intro "green Slice" & then "Big Bird"
....if you like, "Horschmeyer's Island" is just wondeful....a psych horn extravaganza!! Tell me if I'm hearing things...at the end hidden behind the chorus are the CHIPMUNKS singing along at the end!! One might think we are a bit stoned and tripping out!!
http://www.last.fm/music/The+Flock/Dinosaur+Swamps
Enjoy...I'd love to know what you all think!
