"If you are into uninspired lo-fi garage, turn the page, this is not for you. If you are turned on by names like The Music Machine or The Seeds, then you should certainly get to know The Magnificent Brotherhood. Dope Idiots brings you twelve original songs, full of trumpet-like fuzz guitars, Farfisa organ swirls and Zappa-esque lyrics, all blended with a punk attitude. Despite being faithful to a vintage sound, The Magnificent Brotherhood have developed their unique songwriting style. And we say unique because it doesn't sound like a Nuggets cover band. This is music. This is the real thing!" Gatefold sleeve.

"Who should have thought some incoming spawn would survive No More Invention (2008)? Yes sirs, inside the Grand Procreator's consumed ashes, still half lying half standing thus was some rebel mass endowed with the urge to appear in face of the fallen stuff. It would be chemically determined as a following sacrificial revenge after Invention got lost 2 years ago in a rock located in San Pedro Ville, France. And then came rebellion appearing in its entire regained nudity, though it was given a load of Seltz water so it can endure its own terrifying blast power. Here it is -- now Maniacs & Zealots, be afraid of intending to tickle the Beast from your players! World In Sound presents Manifesto Zero, Gunslingers' second atrocious little deformed baby, recorded on the infuriated November of 2009 while evil-red-eyed wolves were getting enraged in the frightened night. No doubt it has to be a relentless sonic testimony in the style of throwing Vitriol at the snobbish subculture's face and, Willynilly, you'll be given a proper naughty chase and a sixfold punishment always greedy of its prey from start to finish. Rhythmically Cyclopean as overexcited as starving due to the constant hammering of its ritualistic tempo & contra-tempo gluttony, its disturbing debauchery of lysergic & contemplative elements gives besides the whole savagery thing some multipleheaded Beast aspect by leading its own sound color touch (& its obvious axis of devastation) right into the alley of a space glider under oversaturated hypnosis ; and more generally, into variable expressions & exploration areas which stand between Underground Rock Music' unclassified genres & subgenres. Demented Guitar wall-of-acid-riffs, pissed off takeoffs & instrumental smashs on bewitchment mode, harmonic death traps, pulsatory frenzy & insane grooves in the likes of a vicious contortionist highway, startling surrealistic vocals sealed to a psychotic Daedalus-esque bass unfurling, and ultimately a scary statement of visceral power. The whole thing devoted to the cult of analog 4 track tape recording, the everlasting oily machine & Slingers dynamo. Manifesto Zero is nothing less than an authentic firebrand."

"Obskuria is hungry for ultimate satisfaction; feat. members of La Ira De Dios and Dragonwyck, they´re best described as burning-heavy-psychedelic tone poetry, the roots of those 'symphonic/orchestrated' poems go back to the early 19th century, when music was intended to inspire listeners and to consider images or moods, not to focus on following traditional patterns -- free form improvisation! All 9 songs, except a Slayer cover of 'Black Magic' (transformed into '60s garage-twist), were cut from instrumental one-take jams; no headphones and all performers incl. amps in one room to feel the unfiltered natural vibes of the magical float, to get inspired in marching to the eternal outer-space-plateau as ONE unit.. it's the culmination of violent but also floating rocksound with truly authentic hard-driven 70s fuzz/space guitar overkills and spheric Hammond Organ layers. Finally two fabulous guest singers (male/female) added super-catchy soulful, haunted and atmospheric vocals. The debut album Discovery Of Obskuria, got lots fabulous and creative reviews in 2008 for their mostly excessive long instrumental space-Kraut excursions -- NOW the 5 Obskurians speeded-up most of their studio-performance with the focus to get more steady hypnotic song orientated (die)-hard-rock-tunes; which ended after cutting them into 3,5 to 5 min format, except the 13 min title track, a multi-climax, which epically expresses thee 'farewell to the American dream -- drifting in the burning sea of green'! Obskuria is inspired by '70s Krautrock, Black Sabbath, Doors, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Jefferson Airplane, Brainticket, Joe Meek, Spaghetti Western and Slayer. This second album by the intercontinental quintet (Peru, US & Germany) may be seen as a soundtrack-concept-album to express in each song a different scene with an 'abundant' variety of raw energetic beauty plus revolutionary spirit. On low volume it feels like an easy listening album, turning it up it could cause unexpected mind-expansions leading into addiction not many 'modern' rock albums have the potential to bring new outstanding listening dimensions to the true music maniacs and addicts. Obskuria does! 'A new decade of purely emotional, euphoric rock'n'roll has begun to take you back to those days when music still was music!'""

"Lineup: Lead guitar & expansive guitar, horizontal bass, regular & extensionist drums, loco-drums & asymmetric drumming, wah-vocals & story, background organ & keyboard, shouts & effects, 4 track tape recorder. One man All-Made Record-Excavator into the deep limbo of egoXploitation. Features 43 min. of decadent loco self-conduct & mystifying woodoo'lectric playing, directly dropped down from the sole complexion of individual force as a plural human's sonic concoction, the alone-lineup that never existed but in the incarnation of one: Full-Blown Expansion. Get into Gunslingers' founding member alchemy - supreme wild stuff of weird, abstract & deviationist multi-instrumental solo performs, improvised & composed and elevated separately on each instrument & track by GR (mostly in one take).Along with the whole instrumental lineup, analog 4 track tape recording & other insinuation (lead guitar & expansive guitar, horizontal bass, regular & extensionist drums, loco-drums & asymmetric drumming, wah-vocals & story, background organ & keyboard, shouts & effects, 4 track tape recorder), the record comes up in a limited Digipack edition assorted of GR's mesmerizing iconographic artwork, plus original secret visionary liners by Cold Sun-The Aliens' legendary autoharpist Billy Miller. Careful with that 'Descent along the an-ti-fohn-nul''s 13 min. of extensionist drumming and seminal acid stoned guitars & wah-vocals driving that leads to the great infernal boogie accident- Vs the regular alternation (in rhythm & guitar color tone) of the fuzzy oniric 'Transfiguration on a sepiachord'- Vs the wizardesque inspiration of 'The metal spike,' GR's one very archetypal & representative of the instant composition process & the superposition of orchestral muses. And careful again with that explosive insane unmethodic 'The intercessor speaks,' some ultra-shouting wave's traumatic 7 min. towards the abyssal fluxus of koZmic Rock-Vs ' The scene/slowly's getting louder''s ritual rotative-leslie & expansive wah noise guitars coming with special voice box- Vs all stoned day long they take you' 's impossible alinear & asymmetric instrumental superposition (includ. transcendental background organ) backing up immaculate spoken poetry- Vs the enigmatic analog keys & clair-obscure of 'Blind Black or pearly white.'

"MAXIMUMVOLUMEROCKANDROLL!!! (Part 4) The Peruvian psych/space freaks are back, with some rural reflections of the 60s acid punk era with its catchy, raw & animalistic high energy performances. Can a riot be started by the slow and on low volume? -- NO- the title says it all (a mix of The Clash classic and Peruvian Andean mythology). Since their fabulous debut album Hacia El Sol Rojo the group evolved into a mighty tight 'wall of sound' (not just live on stage); but still keeping their sensitive feeling to hypnotize a wide spectrum of rock freaks who like it intense! -- Look forward to hard driven riff/solo guitars, pumpin overdosed bass, crazy´n´wild marching tribal drums, combined with outer space effects & noises -- the dark euphoria will make you stand up and dance! If you missed the MC5, The Stooges, Bored! or Los Saicos good old times, this is your ticket to an extreme psychedelic punk trip. (As bonus on the CD you´ll find a cool video). Again, they are back and they want your brain for party...for revolution...cause right now is time to FIESTA & REVOLUCION!"

"The experimental guitar-driven musician collective, iH8 Camera (='i hate camera') from Antwerp, Belgium was formed by 2004, around the nucleus of the Love Substitutes. iH8 Camera performs rarely but frequently live and in changing line-ups and Trip In Time discovered them for the Burg Herzberg Festival 2006 (Europe´s biggest hippie fest). The Sextett arrived at the Freakstage just in time for their set -- ready to plug in and perform this mindblowing 50 minute improvisational freak-out show. Their odyssey seemed long and must have been impressive to the band; finally they got inspired to name their 7 songs after cities from the area which have been passed on this trip, lyrics reflect the 'true' stories about life on road! For sure you'll recognize influences of Pink Floyd´s early period (69-71), 13th Floor Elevators -- but also more modern ones, such as Radiohead or Deus (Ward & Trouvé are former Deus members). We assume that not many festival visitors will remember this show -- but finally this awesome performance will be available, mixed by the band and mastered to excellent sound-quality. These catchy and floating psychedelic sounds will leave no one untouched! It's the major league among today's experimental rock albums, where the present and future of rock collide in the progressive world of iH8 Camera. Digipack."

"Four decades after Woodstock, these fabulous recording sessions see the light of day for the first time. This album contains 5 studio tracks from 1969, recorded at the popular Mu House by the panhandle in San Francisco's Haight & Ashbury, where the likes of Janis Joplin, Grateful Dead, Paul Butterfield Blues Band with Michael Bloomfield frequently played music. Plus, 2 live tracks from 1970 during their 'Hight Time' best! An added bonus of 2 songs from Banda de Jesus, (a band which included 3 original Naked Lunch members), recorded by David Rubinson & Fred Catero at Pacific Recording in San Mateo, CA circa 1972. To put it in a genre: it blends the best of Latin rock, with 'rare grooves, and tricky jazz/funk elements.' Highly addictive melodies, with emotional vocals, pulsating beats with floating conga rhythms, soaring electric guitar, whirling Hammond organ, and a punchy horn-duo, create powerful arrangements to set your home stereo ablaze. This release tells the story, musically, but also in extended linernotes, and rare photos (one included poster) the evolution of the band which was founded in the summer of '69. Led by 16-year-old Abel Zarate (guitar & vocals) to become one of SF's hottest live acts in 1970, a record deal with Bill Graham's Fillmore Records was in sight, but NL was too 'raw,' and energetic to be reigned in and 'commercialized.' But now you hear it, remastered to a fresh dynamic sound from the original session tapes. The trio from NL, Murray (trumpet), Spremich (drums), and Zarate took a huge part in helping to create the sound of Latin rock group Malo, on their 1972 debut record, and helped that band become one of the premier Latin rock groups of the era. Here are their roots! The sum of the music, and the intensity of these recordings can be compared to Santana's Woodstock performance, with a bit of Hendrix-vibe, and Blood, Sweat & Tears influence. Truly a highlight of an almost forgotten San Francisco original."

"Live In Zürich is the second live album of the psychedelic blues rock band Ginger. After 2 years and 50 live shows back home as well as abroad, those four young people hailing from Zürich have clearly taken their position in the '60s/'70s scene. Ginger is a band mainly constipated for the stage, so it is only logical that this promising four piece -- following the tradition of the old blues rock and American jam bands -- offers its jammy and experimental live shows on record. The album Live in Zürich is an official bootleg, taped with a multitrack hard disc recorder on the occasion of a live concert in Zürich in May 2008. This record is being produced and distributed as a production in cooperation with the German label World in Sound. This 60-minute live record features warm blues, lively funk and impulsive guitar driven psychedelia. It mirrors well the stylistic spectrum of Ginger and gives a glimpse of what one can expect at one of their explosive live shows."

LP version in gatefold sleeve. "It seems that La Ira De Dios from Lima, Peru, refined their concept for a unique, raw and massive 'wall of sound' for their third album. With the debut Hacia el Sol Rojo and the second album Archaeopterix, released on the German stoner/space label Nasoni records, the group were quickly met with wide acceptance of fans and excellent critics from the international media -- both albums reflect primarily the Hawkwind-style space rock with mostly long tunes and effects (this concept now covered with Obskuria -- WIS 2003 features all La Ira members). Now the trippiest heavy underground band from Lima brings this new album to life Cosmos ... Kaos ... Destruction containing 8 songs, riff orientated 3-7 min cuts with strong MC5, Motörhead and other 'punk' influences -- for sure it's the most aggressive and heaviest album by this 3 piece line-up to date, which will satisfy fans of heavy acid fuzz garage rock or VoiVod's early works! They say all good things come in threes, here's the third album presented by World in Sound -- Chapter 3 has begun, the intention is simple but challenging: Cosmos (Space), Chaos (Mindblowing) and Destruccion (Aggression)! Get ready for MAXIMUMVOLUMEROCKANDROLL!!!"

"El Cuy is a 'kick ass' power trio from Lima, Peru which seems to be one of the most intense rock 'n' roll cities for heavy underground rock today (they're friends with La Ira De Dios, who brought the massive Peru sound live to Europe in 2006). The 10 songs on this album impressively reflect the dirty old school Sabbath/Zeppelin sound, very natural and organic high octane rock. Look forward to intense cuts like 'Animal' which can be heard on Trip In Time Vol. 2 (Psychedelic Rock Reflections), 'Iraqi, Juntos y Separados' and 'El Vertigo' will surely find you cranking the volume up. All three musicians showcase a totally intense and unique sound -- Black Sabbath meets Cream! Marcos Coifman (also in Reino Emirtano) plays a hard driving bass sound on a classic Rickenbacker like Lemmy in Motörhead and the guitars create a euphoric wall of sound with outstanding heavy psych licks and moody but also punk riffs. The energy of these dudes is absolutely overflowing! A very nice 12 pg. color booklet rounds off this challenging artistic statement in being one of the heaviest modern rock 'n' roll trios you can find!"

"Space has no limit! Obskuria is hungry for the ultimate satisfaction and will hit you like an asteroid storm straight into the face. The international project started in 2006 with Tom Brehm, the legendary guitar player from the '60s U.S. group Dragonwyck, super-talented German keyboadist Winnie Rimbach-Sator (Karmic Society/Treacle People) and La Ira De Dios from Peru. What you hear on this album is the essence of euphoria, freedom and creativity! Through the total running time of almost 80 mins, a wide spectrum of influences are covered from Pink Floyd's Meddle, Ummagumma, Amon Düül 2, Ashra Temple, Hawkwind and Brainticket as well as transforming '80s (thrash)-metal into a natural '70s rock sound. This soundtrack concept album (for an upcoming movie) is best described as a voodoo space-rock experience which tells the 'true' story of what will happen to the world on December 21st, 2012. Besides 6 original cuts, the album contains 4 cover tunes, such as 'Die, Die My Darling' with male and female Airplane-style vocals, a gigantic monumental 8 min. version of Metallica's 'For Whom The Bell Tolls' basically in Black Sabbath sound featuring an ultra-heavy and frightening Hammond organ over burning '60s fuzz guitars -- a total blast! They perform with intensity and flow that only the end-'60s San Francisco bands and the mid '80s speed/thrash/punk revolution generated. The epic 19-minute track 'Essence Of Its Own' builds up from a moody space feeling to an unexpected groundbreaking explosion of sound. The CD release includes one bonus track (not played by Obskuria): 'The World Is Gone' is an original/authentic flashback by Peter Thomas, Germany's mastermind for movie sounds from 40 years ago, but it shares Obskuria's vision and closes our soundtrack for The Discovery of the Planet Obskuria. On low volume it may feel like an easy listening album, turning it up it will blow minds! Very few modern rock albums have the potential to bring new listening dimensions to the true music addicts & maniacs -- this one will do for sure -- it's pure euphor-rock-n-roll!"

"Behind this extraordinary retrospective release stands two musicians from Portland, OR: Jeff Sanger and Alexa Marmon. John See's Lilly, their debut, is certainly a psychedelic gem and introduces the world to the mystic and creative To Get Her Together which carries the influence of Syd Barrett, Donovan's psychedelic period featuring a great cover version of his 'Clarence In Wonderland' and Joe Meek all rolled into one. They create a sound that sums up a scene from Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Jeff is an emotive songwriter and singer taking you through a journey into his mind full of musical twists and turns with acoustic guitar rhythms over hypnotic drum and bass to tunes with electric overdrive mindblowing fuzz. Equipment used such as a 1930s David Bogen amplifier, vintage organs and effects, and analog equipment ultimately reward the listening experience. The song 'Jovial Tree' can be heard on Trip In Time Vol.2 (Psychedelic Rock Reflections) and is celebrated highly. Here is the full album with 16 songs. This album truly creates a unique dreamy psych-vintage experience in 2007!"

"This album is a great artifact for all '60s and '70s music collectors, original copies in good condition change hands for about 500 U.S. dollars. The spirit of the music is a tasty combination between aggressive fuzz-garage-hard rock and atmospheric psych-folk with moody vocals and a poetic message, comparable to World In Sound's legendary Phantasia or Dr. Hooker. In between perfectly arranged songs like 'You Don't Walk On My Street,' 'I Remember' and the psych-trip 'Sleepers,' you'll hear weird spoken word themes as 'Guatamalan Strange,' 'Electronic Silver' and heavy-riff instrumentals. This was the debut release by Michael James, who is still active in the music business with his own label, Empath Records, and the groups Children of the Risk, Michael Yonkers and Mounting Santa feat. Dr. Fink of Prince's Revolution, which are 4 bonus tracks on this release. The album 'Runaway World' was recorded and produced extremely well. This CD-reissue is produced from the original analog master tapes with a 12 p. booklet and 5 bonus tracks, almost 70 minutes playing time. So, look forward to this great album by 'a unique rock artist like none you've heard!'"

"Long expected the second unreleased Darius album -- that continues the sound of the famous Chartmaker album (a world classic), that was also released on WIS. On the electric tunes Darius is backed by the legendary 'Goldenrod' who supported also his first album, plus many guest musicians. This album makes you find deep and true psychedelic dimensions with various influences, that range from garage to perfectly arranged sound also with cool psychedelic jam feel and effects. Contains informative booklet. A joy of 15 songs, 46 minutes, emotional and unique music best of its kind."

"This album was a demo only release by Daniel in 1979 to send out to record companies. He started to write the music in 1971, recorded in '76-'78 -- only a few copies are known of this great and unique record. The music ranges from fantastic acid folk to full blown psychedelic creepers with heavy cello -- and furious fuzz guitar assaults. His producer's voice: 'Daniel plays the cello like Jimi Hendrix the guitar!' Now he is a movie actor and producer in Hollywood, known as Jason D. Holt. This CD comes with 2 bonus tracks, artist's bio and picture."

2008 repress. After a couple of poorly-conceived bootlegs, here is the first legit reissue of this 1969 private press release. "First official release of this legendary West Coast psychedelic rarity, packaged in a jewel case, with an 8-page booklet of liner notes, lyrics, and previously-unseen photographs -- and 3 unreleased bonus tracks. Darius originally came from Cleveland and went to California to record his album -- he was supported by studio musicians who played for the band of Elvis Presley. The sound, directly from the masters, is gonna blow your mind."
