Title:	The Inner Sounds of the Id
Label:	WORLD IN SOUND (GERMANY)
Format:	2LP
Price:	$32.00
Catalog #:	WIS 002LP

"The Inner Sounds of the Id album features rock music with Oriental influences, played in various time signatures like 17/8, 20/8, and 7/4 time, as well as straight-ahead blues/rock in 4/4 time. You will hear the rock and roll roots drifting into garage, beat, psychedelic and progressive sounds -- powerful and unique -- far ahead of its time. The title track, longer than 10 minutes, you will never forget. It is an excursion, introducing the upcoming hypnotic beat and psychedelic sound. A cosmic sitar and meditative vocals intensify the mystical and floating vibrations of music, coming from the Id's inner space. The Beatles with Sgt. Pepper, and also the Rolling Stones with Their Satanic Majesties Request went, little later than The Id, into similar directions. This well-produced stereo 2LP set contains extended musician information, (a second LP) contains 10 bonus tracks with outtakes from the album recording sessions. This is an ultimately rewarding listening experience on the highest level of creativity and musicianship."

"First time on CD -- 'The Id', an incredible 1967 Los Angeles studio musician project. The members of the group were all playing with other groups, but came together to rehearse, develop, and build the album. In July and August of 1966 they recorded the Inner Sounds of the ID album, released in January of 1967, just when the new age of rock and roll had begun. The Inner Sounds of the Idfeatures rock and roll with various sounds, oriental influences, played in various time signatures like 17/8, 20/8, and 7/4 time, as well as straight-ahead blues/rock in 4/4 time. The title track, longer than 10 minutes is build as a collage, meditative lyrics transmit the vibrations from the deep inside through a mystic, floating sound and cosmic sitar -- rock and roll from inner space. The Inner Sounds of the ID, is always an intense and creative album on highest level of musicianship and proficiency. Here you hear the rock´n´roll roots drifting into psychedelic and progressive music -- not comparable to others, it was ahead of its time and maybe it inspired the Beatles for their Sgt. Pepper album or Rolling Stones for Their Satanic Majesties Request. This CD contains an extended and informative booklet plus 10 bonus tracks."
