What an understatement! 'Before The Dream Faded' used to be on almost permanent rotation for me in the mid-80s, when it eventually came out. The later period stuff (with a different line-up) is perhaps a little patchy, but 'Golden Glass' (in the full 12" released version) is epic doom-psych. |

First to pioneer the light show! Using car headlights
at first. What was it like?
They went over to the UK and were poised to hit it really big with a
new revolutionary light show and of course...Great music.
Then the US Vietnam DRAFT stole the dream....
and the dream was over.

This one got played a lot when I bought the album and still goes on the turntable:
Ultimate Spinach, Mind Flowers:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZtZRmlqQSE
Relatively Clean Rivers
An example of a limited pressing albums that lives up to its reviews and doesn't just get into lists because of its rarity. Mellow folk pysch with CSN and Grateful Dead influences.
Three tracks on YouTube, try this one to start with, it's the one I heard on a radio show that made me buy the CD, Journey Through the Valley:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRFArAuH57o
Some improvisational pysch:
Father Yod and YahoWah 13, I'm Gonna Take You Home Track One:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19Knfvn-g-E
Part of the Wikipedia entry:
Members of The Source Family, who lived in the Hollywood Hills in the early 1970s, decided to fuse their musical talents and spirituality by forming an improvisational, psychedelic music group. They began to press LPs in 1973, all of which were recorded after hours of meditation at 3:00-6:00 a.m. in a soundproofed garage that served as the musicians’ studio at the family's communal residence. All of the records with Father Yod’s participation were completely improvised, with no rehearsals or overdubs. Most of the albums were pressed in small runs of only 500 to 1000 copies on the Higher Key label. They were sold to the general public in Father Yod’s wildly popular vegetarian Source Restaurant for $10 each.
Sky Saxon later became involved with the band adopting the name Sky Sunlight Saxon and doing some recording with them.
More of the story and links to the bands website at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ya_Ho_Wa_13
There's some newly released material out on Domino but haven't had a chance to check it out yet.
I came across the band in the late 70's/early 80's when I used to get lists from Funhouse Records of Margate, run by Malcolm and Annette Galloway. Set myself a price limit and bought lots of obscure pysch stuff purely on his recommendations, including all the YahoWah releases. He also set up his own label, Psycho Records and issued 35 comps and/or rereleases, including the YahoWah/Saxon album and a double live Quicksilver one. |

I think Hendrix's , " 1983...( A Merman I Should Turn To Be)",
segway to, " Moon , Turn The Tides...gently gently away " is a very special psychedelic magical masterpiece
...what the world needs now... |

And Quicksilver's "The Fool" is amazing.

I saw them. Had a friend in Art School that was buds with them. They played here in Philly in '68 and I met them. They were part of the Boston thing back then...I called them Baroque. The album is great
