The #buzz review this time takes us straight to California, Orange County, on the beautiful west coast. A record that, if we close our eyes, allows us to dream of the sea and the waves of the Pacific at sunset, with tree-lined avenues along the beach filled with beautiful girls skating in swimwear who can’t wait to engage in the local customary activities: taking acid and practicing free love.
The record is, of course, suggested by @[ALFAMA], the best DJ of Debasio.
Beat of the Earth - Beat of the Earth (Radish, 1967)
A unique example of 1960s west coast psychedelia by Phil Pearlman, a key figure in the California scene (Electronic Hole, Relatively Clean Rivers...) who is assisted in the album's creation by engineer Joe Sidore. Like many records of the era (see Cromagnon), this masterpiece was rediscovered between the late '80s and '90s and has been the subject of various reissues over the years. Directly from Orange County in Southern California, the ensemble led by Phil Pearlman brings to life this eponymous album, composed of a single piece divided into two parts ("This Is An Artistic Statement"). A wild session of obsessive psychedelic garage music, as intense and more so than the Velvet Underground's "Sister Ray," but at the same time infused with the psychedelic-blues shamanism typical of the Doors, not to mention the decisive role of the electric organ. The sound is certainly characteristic of the late '60s, so saying that this work was ahead of its time wouldn't be accurate: what we can say, however, is that it was definitely "on time." A work of universal value that we can still listen to today and marvel at its great beauty and inventiveness.
