A Fantastic concept psych beauty.

They tried to get attention from big labels but this never happened.

Quintet, sometimes dreamy sometimes totally wild underground-psych, with female vocals and splattering leads, titanic guitars and distorted guitars.

Sweet tunes turn into dark psychpower Personnel: SHARON BARTON MAUREEN DEIDELBAUM GREG RUBAN CHERYL SIMPSON Produced, arr.Composed by GREG RUBAN Greg Ruban, the composer and front-man of victoria recorded this album just before he had to go to Vietnam.

When he returned from War, he took his unreleased album on a 3 month trip to Europe on a motorbike to promote it, but unfortunately that did not work out at all.

Mazzy Star was a dream popalternative band formed in 1989 from a band called Opal, a collaboration of guitarist David Roback (of the eighties Paisley Underground group Rain Parade) and bassist Kendra Smith (of Dream Syndicate fame).

They were later joined by Smiths friend Hope Sandoval as the vocalist.

Mazzy Star is probably best known for the song Fade Into You, which brought the band some success in the mid-1990s and was dream pops biggest mainstream hit (it was later sampled by Richard X for his song Into You featuring Jarvis Cocker).

Roback and Sandoval were the creative center of the band, with Sandoval writing most of the lyrics and Roback composing most of the music.

Listen to dreamful voice of Hope, and feel the spirit of mazzy star live.

Every psychedelic trick in the book is thrown into the production on this mind melter.

Its mainly composed of introspective folk rock with some oriental influences and very religious lyrics (Softly Through The Darkness, New Beginnings, Kingdom).

Springtime Bouquet is an electronic score composed by Alex Hassilev.

Faryar can also be found on recordings by Fred Neil, Mama Cass and the Stone Poneys and he sung one track for the soundtrack of Last Summer produced by John Simon.

An obscure singersongwriter from Ontario, or maybe a group leader, who signed a solo recording contract to release the above album.

His songs in general are overproduced by Roy Dykhof, with orchestral (horn and string) arrangements by Roger Grevel.

Although there are some good guitar leads here and there, the result is an unimpressive poprock sound, comparable to the British artist Barry Ryan.

There are two longer tracks: Passages and Rays Of The Sun, produced by Sebastian himself, with real rock backing (gtr, bs, drms and piano) by his friends (or his real group), that are outstanding The first starts slow and melodic and then quickens in pace; the second is mid-tempo.

The mood is psychedelic with piano breaks and excellent guitar leads.

These two tracks really are worth a spin.

Dont You Wish You Had (What You Had When You Had It) 16.

Gimme Shelter Two very rare funk-soul albums (on one disc) which George Clintons Parliament were the backing band as Ruth Copeland was an integral part of the early 70s band.

Copeland effortlessly blends soul, funk,blues, psychedelia and acoustic material onto these albums.

The second album I Am What I Am had an incredible version of the Stones classic Gimme Shelter.

Funk out Freak Emporium Rare funky work by Ruth Copeland -- a Detroit-based female rock singer, but one who worked with George Clinton on a number of her tracks -- giving her albums a hard funky sound thats right up there with early work by Parliament or Funkadelic The CD features both Ruths albums for the Invictus label -- Self Portrait and I Am What I Am -- the former of which has great work by Clinton, who also wrote a number of the songs.
