FALLOUT (UK)
Format:
CD
Price:
$17.00
Catalog #:
FO 2077CD
Originally released in 1971, this lost gem makes its CD debut here. Based in Chicago, the band produced a mellow fusion of West Coast-style songs, flowing guitar leads and electric violin that has led them to be compared to
It's A Beautiful Day
. Despite being released in countries including the UK and France, the album didn't connect commercially and has languished in undeserved obscurity ever since.

Label:
FALLOUT (UK)
Format:
LP
Price:
$22.00
Catalog #:
FO 2080LP
Previously reissued on CD by Fallout, now issued on deluxe LP format as well; 180 gram pressing. This superb collection of acid-influenced guitar rock originally appeared in 1970 and has languished in undeserved obscurity ever since. Produced in L.A. by legendary engineer
Bill Halverson
(
Crosby, Stills & Nash
,
Cream
, the
Grateful Dead
), it's heavily imbued with West Coast influences and features superb musical interplay throughout. The band supported acts including
Jimi Hendrix
and
Pink Floyd
, but proved sadly short-lived. The album, which is an obligatory purchase for all devotees of U.S. psychedelia, makes its long-awaited vinyl reissue debut here.

Peter Kelley
made two superb albums, of which this is the first. An atmospheric blend of bluesy downer folk and psychedelia, it features eerie vocals and deft touches of violin and fuzz guitar. First released in 1969, it makes its CD debut here, and is sure to appeal to fans of artists such as
Sandy Bull
,
Michael Hurley
and
Gary Higgins
.

COUNTRY FUNK
Title:
Country Funk
Label:
FALLOUT (UK)
Format:
CD
Price:
$17.00
Catalog #:
FO 2086CD
Few artist names or album titles have ever been so misleading as this band's. Though there are certainly elements of funk and country in the mix, their beautifully crafted songs and harmonies (to say nothing of some biting electric guitar) are far closer in feel to the West Coast psychedelia of
Buffalo Springfield
and
Crosby, Stills & Nash
. Originally released in 1970 on Polydor, the album is a long-lost gem that is sure to please fans of U.S. West Coast rock -- it certainly appealed to
Beck
, who sampled one of its tracks on his
Odelay
album.
Artist:
LEGEND, THE
Title:
The Legend
Label:
FALLOUT (UK)
Format:
CD
Price:
$17.00

This excellent blend of psych-pop originals and snappy cover versions was first released in the U.S. in 1969, and makes its long-awaited CD reappearance here. Recorded by the Colorado musicians who later metamorphosed into legendary psychedelic rockers
Dragonfly
, it's a hard-edged collection that's fleshed out here by the inclusion of four rare non-album bonus tracks, making it a must for all garage rock connoisseurs.

Jeremy Steig
, psych-folk legend
Buzz Linhart
and the

An Eye For An Ear
Label:
FALLOUT (UK)
Format:
CD
Price:
$17.00
Catalog #:
FO 2089CD
A mindblowing mixture of pop, psych and electronica, this mysterious 1969 studio project was recorded in Toronto and New York by youthful vocalist
Terry Black
, who'd had six top 40 hits in Canada as a teenager, as well as recording the cult
Black Plague
LP in 1966. Veering from the catchy pop of "Priscilla" and soul-inflected "Second City Song" to the experimental "The Emperor" and freaky "Lighting Frederick's Fire," the album features one of the greatest psychedelic tracks of all time -- the fuzz blow-out "Fool Amid The Traffic," and makes its long-overdue CD debut here.
Artist:
FAR CRY, THE
Title:
The Far Cry

FALLOUT (UK)

CD
Price:
$17.00
Catalog #:
FO 2090CD
"
Their music reaches from blues to jazz into space
," proclaimed the original liner notes to this highly unusual psychedelic jazz blast, originally released in 1968. The demented seven-piece band hailed from Boston, which was in the throes of the notorious "Bosstown hype" when their album was recorded. Though it can be compared to contemporary acts such as
Captain Beefheart
and
Blood Sweat & Tears
, it has a distinctive sound of its own, blending howling vocals, biting electric guitar and avant-garde saxophone with other instruments such as vibraphone, organ and congas, and makes its long-overdue CD debut here.
Artist:
NEIL, FRED
Title:
Trav'lin Man: The Early Singles
Label:
FALLOUT (UK)

$17.00
Catalog #:
FO 2091CD
Fallout Records presents
Fred Neil
's early collected singles. As the author of standards including "The Dolphins," "Everybody's Talkin'" and "Other Side To This Life," Fred Neil needs no introduction to music fans. But before becoming a folksinger and profound influence on
Bob Dylan
,
Tim Buckley
,
John Sebastian
and others, he worked as a jobbing singer, songwriter and session musician around New York. His early songs were recorded by artists including
Buddy Holly
and
Roy Orbison
, but his own six pop and rockabilly singles, released between 1957 and 1961, sold in tiny quantities and have rarely been heard since. They are gathered here for the first time ever, offering a fascinating and historically important insight into one of the most celebrated singer-songwriters of all time.
FINDERS KEEPERS (UK)
Artist:
ERSEN
Title:
Ersen
Label:
FINDERS KEEPERS (UK)
Format:
CD
Price:
$21.00
Catalog #:
FKR 016CD
"The music you are about to hear defies categorization. But for all intents and multi-purposes, this record is a folk album. Embodying all the aesthetic watermarks of a private press country LP, Selda's debut long player from 1976 has masqueraded as lamb dressed as mutton, throwing many a discerning wolf from the gourmet scent. Behold! Space age, Anatolian, electronic, progressive-protest, psych-folk-funk-rock from the Middle East. All of the above ingredients are presented immaculately with utmost authenticity and conviction to create a delectable hybrid concoction which has never been replicated or equalled in the 3 mutant decades since its recording. After what seems like a decade of cross-continental detective work and blind alley buffoonery, Finders Keepers finally have the auspicious privilege to introduce the incredible music of one of the most important figures in Anadolu rock's history, Ersen. Ersen performed nearly all kinds of Turkish music forms in his life adventure -- rock, pop, folk, arabesque -- but in his early years (late '60s/early '70s) he was a successful psych-rock singer, working with names such as Kardaslar, Dadaslar, Mogollar, Üç Hürel. Each of the artists involved in the recording of this LP continued to record radical and experimental music and are considered the cream-of-the-crop among Eastern psych aficionados. In recent years, the legacy of Anatolian progressive rock has gone from strength to strength, gaining popularity amongst DJs, producers and record collectors as an unrivaled source for unique sounds rarely found in other genres of international music and, until now, rarely heard outside their native environment. Thirty years down the line, the Anatolian Invasion is on its way to a record store near you and this -- the third installment -- follows on from our critically acclaimed best selling Mustafa Ozkent and Selda Bagcan reissues."

mizmar
, piano,
nai
flute, cello, synthesizer, voice, violin, drum set, and the grand finale on soprano sax. This music envelops you with a sound embrace that awakens the senses, stimulates the mind and lifts the spirit. Kali's imagination and intensity are beautifully matched with the profound emotional range and musicality of New Orleans tenor legend Kidd Jordan and the finesse and dynamism of drummer Newman Taylor Baker."

Title:
BND2
Label:
FOUR:TWENTY (UK)
Format:
12"
Price:
$11.50
Catalog #:
FOUR 038EP
"Despite being only two years old, Andreas Wiegland's Andomat 3000 project has seen him record for Cadenza, Safari Electronique, Morris Audio and Platzhirsch Schallplaten. He has also won fans such as Luciano, Ricardo Villalobos, Jimpster and Sebo K for his organic and subtly jazz infused house workouts. 'BND2' sums up the playful and eclectic vibe of Andomat 3000. Shuffling shakers, jazz snares and a superbly funky upright-bass all play off each other to create a distinctive floor burning groove of the highest order. Never the slackers on the remix front, Four:Twenty have drafted in both Kiki and Freaks man Luke Solomon for reinterpretations."
FREAK N' CHIC (FRANCE)
Artist:
SHONKY
Title:
Time Zero Part One
Label:
FREAK N' CHIC (FRANCE)
Format:
12"
Price:
$11.00
Catalog #:
FNC 001.1LP
The vinyl version of the new Shonky album is released as 2 separate 12"'s, 4 tracks each; this is part 1. Track 1 "Time Zero' -- the album's title track, lets loose with spiralling effects and a repeat-repeat vocal that heightens the psychedelic vibe. The airy chimes of "Nebula" evoke the questing spirit of Detroit and bring in a breath of Kraftwerk a la
Tour De France
. The obvious titular nod to Voodoo Ray is reflected in the warm, burnished tribal-tech of "Cosmic Ray". He returns to psychedelic techno with stand-out cut "Galactica," a tune whose dense atmospherics, backdrop of wolf-like wails and clever use of a female vocal would make the Belleville Three proud.Finally,
Time Zero
has landed and it doesn't merely justify the hype, it goes beyond. This is not a first class debut. It's a first class album, full stop.
Time Zero
is ripe with a musical intelligence well beyond Shonky's years."

Title:
Time Zero Part Two
Label:
FREAK N' CHIC (FRANCE)
Format:
12"
Price:
$11.00
Catalog #:
FNC 001.2LP
Vinyl version, part 2. "Ondulation" hypnotizes with shimmering waves of acid and gleaming synth lines. There is more classic, intricate Detroit styling up his sleeve on "Odyssey," a clean cut tune rippling with sharp metallic synths and an eerie radio-signals-from-space motif, which tempts you to follow the sound to another dimension. Sexy, dubby, hip jackin' musical movements rule the intro on "Magma," moving into a deeper, more atmospheric space. And the final track "Minor Planets" embraces pure techno with its lush washing synths and crystalline beats. Smoothly tripping you out to now, to this moment, to
Time Zero
.
