 I still can’t understand how and why it happened. Given the musical premises, nothing suggested such a total falling in love.

 Don’t try to listen to the Espers with the cynical ear of the connoisseur... if you try to open the doors of your heart and mind to them... a world of emotions you thought lost will be revealed to you.

The reviewer shares a heartfelt and lasting affection for Espers' The Weed Tree. Initially dismissive, they grew to appreciate the band's nocturnal, melancholic, and psychedelic folk sound. The album’s reinterpretations of traditional and unexpected covers reveal deep emotions and a blend of American and British folk elements. The review encourages embracing the band with an open heart for a rich emotional experience. Listen to Espers' The Weed Tree and experience a haunting blend of folk tradition and psychedelic emotion today.

 Sometimes it requires a period of rest in a dark place (the Hard Disk?), away from prying ears, to allow time to 'open up' and finally understand an album.

 More interesting are the (small) deviations from the path so far widely trodden.

Alexander Tucker's third album Portal is a complex work that benefits from time to mature. It blends hypnotic psychedelic folk with modern drone influences but suffers from a monotonous vocal style. Some tracks offer refreshing variations, showing promise for the artist's evolving sound. Listen to Alexander Tucker's Portal and explore his unique take on psychedelic folk music.

 "After losing the singer, the rest of the band locked themselves in the studio and came out with an absolutely masterful album of full-on instrumental psychedelia."

 "Four tracks, one of which is a massive 24-minute piece, representing the best retro-psychedelia in circulation."

The review reflects on the personal journey back to vinyl and highlights Causa Sui's Summer Sessions Vol. I as a standout instrumental psychedelic album. It praises the band’s fusion of ‘70s psych, krautrock, and tribal rhythms, noting its depth and masterful composition. The album, released in a limited vinyl edition, serves as a catalyst for the reviewer’s vinyl revival. Overall, it is regarded as one of the best recent retro-psychedelic works. Explore Causa Sui’s Summer Sessions Vol. I on vinyl and immerse yourself in a masterclass of instrumental psychedelia today!

 I have unbreakable esteem for what was produced in the late '80s by Jason Pierce and Pete Kember, better known as Spacemen 3.

 When their visions align, there’s no comparison: the cover of 'Tomorrow Hits' by Mudhoney is rightly codeine-laden, the instrumental 'Confederate Dead' evokes ghosts of the Civil War with a narcotic stride.

The review evaluates Indian Giver, the collaborative album by Sonic Boom and Jim Dickinson, highlighting its blend of psychedelic and blues influences. While the album suffers from inconsistency due to differing musical visions, some tracks showcase a unique and compelling fusion. Recommended for Spacemen 3 fans and those interested in experimental psychedelia. Discover the unique psychedelic fusion of Indian Giver—listen now and explore the clash of musical visions!

 "Nowadays, almost nothing new is invented, but widely known and easily accessible ingredients are well mixed, with more or less originality."

 "Releasing a record of 79 mins and expecting the listener to maintain their attention span for more than half the album, is not just mere utopia, it’s almost presumption."

The review reflects on the musical landscape of the 2000s as a decade marked by genre blending and revival. 'Focus Level' by Endless Boogie tries to merge 70s rock influences with experimental touches, resulting in a mixed but intriguing album. While some tracks stand out with bluesy trance states, the album’s length challenges listener attention. Overall, it’s a bold effort that may not fully succeed in balancing its diverse influences. Listen to Endless Boogie’s ‘Focus Level’ to experience a bold fusion of 70s rock and experimental grooves.

 "The perfect medicine for those tired of the usual pharmaceutical mega-corporations and looking for heterodox cures for chronic mental acidity."

 "A great document of the first incestuous romps between mommy psychedelia and daddy hard blues, with the garage son watching in amazement."

Dragonfly's self-titled 1968 album is a vibrant example of fuzz-drenched psychedelia fused with hard blues and garage rock. Though not a classic milestone, it captures the era's experimental spirit with standout tracks featuring complex arrangements and gritty vocals. Perfect for fans seeking rare and invigorating vintage sounds beyond mainstream releases. Explore Dragonfly's fuzz-soaked psychedelic journey and rediscover a rare slice of 60s rock history today!

 The album in question is really one of the best forgotten gems of the ‘60s that has come into my hands.

 You could always say you know what they played in California ... but the next step in your exploration cannot ignore this little forgotten gem.

The Wizards From Kansas delivered an exemplary 60s West Coast psychedelic album, though their timing with the scene was unfortunate. Their debut blends electrified covers, proto-progressive suites, and vibrant folk elements, making it a standout lost gem worth exploring for fans of vintage psychedelia. Despite being out of sync with the California scene, the album reveals impressive musicianship and eclectic influences. Dive into this forgotten psychedelic classic and uncover the rich sounds of The Wizards From Kansas today!

 "Simply the most engaging sonic onslaught in the MC5/Stooges axis heard lately."

 "Balls out, an aboriginal drummer, a primordial and instinctive knowledge of the instruments... an innate ability to focus on the target and express goals, which only the very young possess."

 "An album that could drive you to cut your ears with poultry shears, or leave you ecstatic and perpetually dazed on the couch."

 "She shoots it raw, earthy, wild, and unmediated... it's a typical take it or leave it."

Valet's 'Naked Acid' is an eccentric, acid-driven album blending krautrock, ambient drone, and abstract blues. Honey Owens' music challenges listeners with its raw, earthy, and unmediated sound. The album can polarize audiences, perceived either as a tedious bore or a mesmerizing, alien message. Its intense and unconventional style invites a take-it-or-leave-it approach. Dive into Valet's 'Naked Acid' — listen now and experience its raw, eccentric soundscapes.

 Ultimately, that’s what 'Evil Urges' is. A fecal matter born from a mind that was once enlightened like that of Jim James.

 The initial title track isn’t entirely horrible... but starting from 'Touch Me I’m Going To Scream Pt. 1,' things go downhill and the smell of fresh dung begins to stink up the room.

This review expresses strong disappointment with My Morning Jacket's 2008 album 'Evil Urges,' describing it as a failed attempt at experimentation marred by egotism and lack of cohesion. The reviewer highlights specific tracks as particularly poor and contrasts the album sharply with the band's previous successes, emphasizing its mediocrity and unpleasant listening experience. Discover why 'Evil Urges' disappointed fans and explore My Morning Jacket's musical journey—listen and decide for yourself!
