Be aware that from next week I will leave you in peace, I can finally free myself from this infernal prison that keeps me stuck in bed. For your entertainment, you will not read for a while the nonsense that boredom and medication bring to, I believe, your attention.

Let's talk about the "MOONFLOWER'' group, which I believe is from Bristol, and after a series of EPs, they recorded the present "HASH SMITS" for POP GOD in 1991. A group present at the main free festivals and strangely famous in Japan (I spare you my personal considerations on Japanese musical tastes, for your good fortune). Both the music they proposed, especially performed live, became a cult object, as well as their image out of time and out of the mainstream commercial loop.

Let's start with the cover, a clear parody of a much more famous English group from the past. The music they proposed, much more appreciable live, outdoors. It had clear 60s and 70s influences, a continuous call to rock with evident psychedelic veins, all seasoned in a tasty free funky blues sauce. Live acts were the object of fiery jam sessions.

An album that to the most purists might seem anachronistic (when those sounds were in vogue, I might not even have been born), instead it brings back a way of making music and presenting oneself that many groups have forgotten.

An album to rediscover
