BEST WISHES to everyone from the Juke Box Group
 
Ame Son - Eclosion - Catalyse - 1970 - Jazz - Progressive - Psychedelic A seemingly impossible-to-find record on any format. Beautiful. I have no idea about their nationality, but this is quite fascinating. I hear a blend of Andean mountain chants, flutes, and quirky jazz. All wrapped up in a prog key, understood as a meeting of musical cultures. They might be nonsense, but when you listen with your heart, in the end, you're just a fool.
 
DG 307 – Gift To The Shadows(Full album)-1982 Å afrĆ”n (Vinyl Rip) Raw rock touched by a slow liturgy of sounds between the sacred and the profane.
 
Niechęć - Niechęć (2016) Full Album I find this work very beautiful. Like a Zorn who drinks waters and gets lost in light, dreamlike digressions. He regains his senses but is no longer himself. Calm, without expressive frenzy, reflective, post-bender.
 
Today we dive into the heart of experimental musical experiences that have been expressions of genuine countercultural movements on our continent. In particular, the lettrist movement. What more could you ask for from a record that is part of the #zot showcase, after all.

Thank you @[ALFAMA].

Fille Qui Mousse - Trixie Stapleton 291 - Se Taire Pour Une Femme Trop Belle (1973)

Recorded in 1971, 'Trixie Stapleton 291 - Se Taire Pour Une Femme Trop Belle' (originally released by the French label Futura, but subject to various reissues over the last twenty to twenty-five years) can be considered the culmination of an experience that began in the post-war period in Paris, France, by this collective called Fille Qui Mousse, an expression of the counterculture of the French capital and a continuation of the avant-garde of the lettrist movement founded by Isidore Isou. Since the movement was born with the intent to renounce the use of words, employing poetic, sound, onomatopoeia, and musicality of speech, we find all these elements in this record as well. Indeed, tracks like 'Transcription', 'Transplantation', 'Fraicheur Et Amalgame', and 'Quatriéme épisode' can be seen as brief experiments in this regard. However, even 'Esplanade', despite its extended duration of eight minutes, is based on the same mechanisms, particularly experiments related to the use of voice. Other pieces, like 'Cantate Disperate', an instrumental track based on a vigorous bassline, 'Antinomique', which evokes Middle Eastern sounds, and 'L'eau était vital', a long psychedelic composition straddling progressive impulses and a certain tropicalism, can be defined as more conventional episodes. A record that has been very influential in France and considered a benchmark by many groups, starting from the experience of Nurse with Wound led by Steve Stapleton.

I'm still drawing from Drone Rock Records for today's suggestion for the #zot2016 review.

Psychic Lemon - Psychic Lemon (Drone Rock Records)

Released in March 2016, 'Psychic Lemon' (Drone Rock Records) is the debut self-titled LP from this London band (Andrew Briston, Andrew Hibberd, George Horler, Martin Law), which boasts recording its albums in a small studio near where Syd Barrett once lived. Clearly inspired by Goat and Amon Duul, the band's sound can rather be defined as a kind of reinterpretation of progressive rock reimagined today in a modernist key, with influences harking back to post-punk and noise rock. Recorded in 2015 with special guest Dan Ellis on flute, the feeling that emerges from listening to this album is one of certain perplexity. It is frankly difficult to keep up with what is a continuous sequence of shifts in tempo in a way that feels forced and doesn't facilitate the enjoyment of the work in any way. A series of unfortunate choices makes this first attempt a partial failure. They seem to have a new album scheduled for release in 2018. We'll see.

Psychic Lemon - Death Cult Blues
 
The Dream Syndicate - Until Lately
My favorite of theirs, maybe because it's the most bluesy, psycho, hypnotic...
