13th Floor Elevators - Tried To Hide

The Essential Albums: “THE PSYCHEDELIC SOUND of The 13Th Floor Elevators”

“…it's a paranoid and essentially perverse record... the music of the Elevators is breathless, claustrophobic, and oppressive. As if the doors of that elevator never actually opened. Suffocating like a wadding of cotton soaked in paraffin stuffed down the throat. Nobody smiles in the corridors of the thirteenth floor but it's in the belly of this Austin skyscraper that the elevator runs, carrying the most insane and delirious psychedelic music of the sixties to new heights."

Oh I, Rev, I also find it amusing; it's more exhilarating than oppressive... these are personal sensations, savansadir.

More than the word (the album is released simultaneously with Psychedelic Lollipop for instance), for me, it's really the sound... what should be called psychedelic. A word abused like few others. I can't define it, let alone... for me it's not a genre but an aura that blends with other sounds, giving particular "effects" both to the sound and to the listener.

This is the ALBUM... like few others. Garage-Beat-R&B and Psychedelia... Psychedelia and Melody perfectly blended. Not some guitar or computer effect thrown together haphazardly for 5 minutes... that's crap, not Psychedelia.

John Zorn - Mount Analogue I listen to it every death of the Pope but it's always surprising.

So Jah Seh (1974) - Bob Marley & The Wailers the first 3 albums and the first live are essential from various points of view: Natty Dread in particular is probably the most complete album of the early phase, and in general one of his key albums. Everything is perfect here, with not a single moment that is unnecessary.

The Henchmen - Livin'

The Jaguars - It's gonna be alright (60'S GARAGE PUNK)

It’s the excitement of a moment, perhaps two. That’s why it works especially for a 45 RPM, often with distorted titles and names on the masters and the labels of the vinyl. Further confirmation of a carelessness that dominated all stages of the process. For many others, it won’t work at all, stopping at the limited space and finances of a demo tape, a reel, a cassette.”

Demolition Doll Rods - move to the music

Demolition Doll Rods - rock it up

But from Micigaan, especially from Ditroiit Micigaan... is there anyone who sucks??!! Naaaiiinnn!!! Another great band with that lovable delinquent Dan Groha (Gories) accompanied by two terribly Rock sisters. Garage-glam-punk… the usual second course that fills you up while leaving you light, savansadir.

I went looking for something written about the beginnings of the DDR and found more than I was looking for. In particular, a beautiful article by some Paolo Barone (who the hell knows who that is, savansadir) after seeing them with the Cramps, yes those Cramps at Fillmore West, yes that Fillmore West on Tim Tirelli’s website, one of the craziest music freaks alive… a dedicated fan for every possible genre. One who, in the mid-eighties, just over twenty, wrote Oh Jimmy, a real cheat sheet on the Zepp (in addition to a cool eponymous one), truly a chronic fanatic… and indeed he is nobly exhausted. Then a captivating “Ultima Thule.” a wonderful review by Federico Guglielmi, which begins “it's useless to deny it: there are bands like the Demolition Doll Rods - two crazy sisters with their tits in the wind, an ex Gories looking like a street hustler) to cover, today, the difficult task of keepers of the unquenchable fire of rock'n'roll. At least of that rock'n'roll….”

It continues splendidly…but we got it...

A bit of balancing...
