Twink
Think Pink

The antagonistic and lysergic season of psychedelia has unquestionably given birth to illustrious names, names that have fostered and created fundamental sounds for future generations. The spirit of the Free Form Freak Out injections, in fact, will expand in the veins of countless alternative bands, marking them indelibly. Unfortunately, while the history of rock music has celebrated sanctified and enlightened musicians such as Small Faces, Pink Floyd, Jefferson Airplane, and Doors, it has also been forgetful towards equally attractive exotic realities. The realities I am referring to smell of vinyls and collectors' love. Albums such as "12 Dreams Of Dr. Sardonicus" by Spirit, "Reflections" by Fleur De Lys, or the self-titled album of "Os Mutantes" all deserved more than a metropolitan glow in this world, but unfortunately, this was not the case.

Even Twink with their purposely nursery rhyme-dedicated album "Think Pink", belong to those wild and acid-laden Freaks to be rediscovered. 10 visionary and highly original micro-fragments populate the album, in which you can feel in every single note the febrile euphoria from LSD abuse. Boiling sonic volcanoes à la Red Crayola ready to melt to the ground, Buddhist group coitus, melancholic and deep voices, nursery rhymes with infantile buttery nuances, Mexican tribal battlegrounds, and shamanic anthems soaring with pride. Each track has its own immense dignity that often degenerates into cathartic noise: this is music for interstellar group evaporations.

"Think Pink" is so important that it should embrace in every psychedelic discotheque, crazy and sparkling works like the Gong's flying teapot trilogy or Barrett's solo works. A Must Have.

Rating 4.5/5
