The Power of Myth
w/ Joseph Campbell and Bill MoyerPart 1 - The Hero’s Journey
Back on ye old Weed Temple blog I’ve written about a psych rock unit from Chicago named Verma. Here’s their third album containing three stonerisms recorded in their practice space. Two of the tracks on this album also appeared on the FAR OUT Verma/Soundings/Shapers split cassette released on Paramita Recordings (the review of which I’m gonna probably post soon!). In the meantime, check out these bitchin’ krautrock jamzzzzzz.
Mark Fry- Dreaming With Alice, 1972
“Released only as a local RCA pressing in Italy, Dreaming With Alice is a legendary rarity of the hippie folk-rock scene. It’s an LP that’s easy to like, with good songwriting and all the elements that genre fans crave - dreamy vocals, sitars, flute, stoned Eastern fantasies and wistful Donovan fairytale moods. Indeed, it sounds like a sliver of vintage, acid-fuelled Donovan expanded to an entire album. The gentle acoustic mood is wisely broken up with folk-rock jamming and even some hard-edged fuzz workouts, all within the aesthetic boundaries of this skilfully arranged yet pleasantly organic album.”

Enumclaw - Kuxan Suum
There are musics that tap into altered zones of the universe - ones that delve deeper than the mere surface-sexual tension of pop and go for something a bit more tantric. My dear friend Norm Fetter moved with his family to the countryside last year and started an exotic mushroom farm, in search of those heavier vibrations. He felt that the city energy was cluttering up his head space. I’m starting to understand that sentiment more and more - finding important meditations more difficult with the cacophonous sounds pinging around at increasing frequency.
Tune in, turn on, and vibe out. Get the brand new Gneiss Dreams EP over on his Bndcmp.
Kind words from the always fine Yvynyl!

“When I’m working on a problem, I never think about beauty. I think only how to solve the problem. But when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong.”
R. Buckminster Fuller (1895 - 1983)
