I downloaded it recently and felt a bit off and not much... honestly, it caught me off guard, a bit too polished for my taste, I expected something less clean. Time will help me.
West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band Vol. 2

Well done, Lewis, I agree. Much of this musical naivety was typically American, and I would say specific to the West Coast, where the hippie movement and dreams originated and took root. England and Europe digested the cultural influences of the time quite differently. Also because, you know, you go surfing on the white cliffs of Dover.

Yes, let's say that this music ages worse than other contemporary pieces; one must be a passionate aficionado, or it can often have a hilarious or, worse, ridiculous effect on the listener. Even the lyrics were often pathetic when analyzed with today's approach. But if we look closely, at the time they possessed a certain liberating strength, and even if naive, they sowed the seeds for the musical fruits to come.

I finally managed to reset my ex CDs and here are the samples. I was curious, Lewis, to know what you thought about these. I’m glad you agree with me. Their records alternate fabulous gems with colossal nonsense. @Hal: regarding the general concept of conflict, I remember I had some articles at home used during my thesis, but I don’t recall the author's name. Anyway, the topic of conflicts, like that of cultural integrity vs. cultural mixing raised by Odra in the rec of tropicalism, are omnipresent and very interesting topics. Shall we elaborate on this elsewhere?

Campaign samples to be signed shortly. @Hal: the dynamics in this specific case were between Markley and the group's founders. Markley was already 30 in '66, while the others were barely in their twenties; he envied them for their musical skills, while they could hardly tolerate his artistic laziness except for writing some lyrics here and there. Over time, Markley wanted to be the central figure of the band without contributing much, which gradually pissed everyone off, leading them to leave the project within three years. The fact remains that without the deadweight, I don't think they would have managed to record great music. Anyway, both Part One and Vol. 3 are really great albums, and there might still be a best-of, which is probably the best way to enjoy them; unfortunately, no album is entirely great.

Nice comments, guys, well done. I agree with Renzo that in 50 years either we’ll be speaking Chinese or we’ll be screwed..... Damn, why did I study Japanese?

They are playing at the Roadburn Festival, Uncle Acid with Hawkwind, Ufomammut, The Heads, Brant Bjork, Bevis Frond, and Sticazzi as special guests. I'm considering it since I'll be on vacation...

I don't know why, but I imagined Zigghio that you hated motorbikes... you either love them or hate them. They definitely didn't invent anything new, but maybe it's because I grew up around them, they always make me feel good.

I like your rec, one of the few cases where I don't get pissed off about a duplication. For years I've wanted to try listening to this album, but I've been burned by the few attempts I've made with tnt and the subsequent ones; I often find it a bit too tedious and lacking in bite. And often fucking pretentious and alternative. However, unfortunately, it's just my "outsider" perspective on the phenomenon and a bit snobby, like many of those who recommended this album to me years ago.
