The Smoke (US) - 1968 - The Smoke [Vinyl]
Copies of Smoke's self-titled album are highly valued by collectors of West Coast soft rock and psychedelic music. The album certainly deserves its reputation as one of the masterpieces of 1968. It opens with the organ-driven "Cowboys and Indians," which was producer/songwriter Michael Lloyd's personal homage to Brian Wilson's "Heroes and Villains" and lyrically makes mention of war (obviously the Vietnam war was very much on everyone's minds at the time). Lloyd had met Wilson after Beach Boy Bruce Johnston invited him to the recording sessions for "Good Vibrations." In addition to Beach Boys-style production values, there are also references to the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band throughout. The chorus to "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" is even quoted in the fade to Lloyd's "Fogbound." Other references pop up in the warm "Gold Is the Colour of Thought," which features an amazing arrangement encompassing Sgt. Pepper's-esque bursts of trumpet, strings, harpsichord, and sweet harmonies. The harpsichord-driven "October Country," a song previously recorded by the Lloyd-produced group of the same name earlier that year, reappears here with Lloyd handling the vocal lead chores this time, wrapped around bright strings. The album is dedicated to Stuart Sutcliffe. Fans of post-Pet Sounds West Coast psych-pop or Curt Boettcher-produced groups (the Millennium, Sagittarius) will love this album, which is not available on compact disc. [Allmusic.com]I must confess that I never heard of this band before, I was working on my British Invasion files and was searching for The Smoke [UK] – The Smoke [1967].
So I was very pleased when I heard this one and thought it might fit in nicely on Lost In Tyme.
Allmusic.com mentions that it is never released on CD so this must be a Vinyl rip which you almost can’t hear… and I did found also the Smoke from the UK but posted that one somewhere else..

The Chemistry Set – Sounds Like Painting (Unreleased LP)
The Chemistry Set – Sounds Like Painting – Unreleased LP
“The Fanzine and Flexi Disc Kings”
There was a time before the internet when if you wanted to know what was going on in the world of Psychedelia you would purchase one of the hundreds of fanzines around the world. Like Bucketful of Brains, Freakbeat, The BOB, Rockerilla, Ruta 66 and Sound Affects, to name just a few.
In the late 1980’s The Chemistry Set appeared in fanzines all around the globe. From the UK to France, Spain, Italy, Holland, Germany, Sweden, Japan, USA, Australia and New Zealand
Some of these fanzines used to give away flexi discs (for younger readers these were 7” floppy plastic records) that used to last for about 5 plays if you were lucky. For a period from 1988 – 1990 it seemed that every other fanzine were giving away a Chemistry Set flexi disc.
Formed in London in 1987, The Chemistry Set comprised of Ashley Wood
(Guitars and vocals), Paul Lake (guitars and vocals), Henry Taprell (bass) and David Mclean (drums and vocals)
They came together through a mutual friend and a mutual love of Psychedelia. Their influences were: Syd Barrett, Robyn Hitchcock, Tomorrow, UK Psych, the 4 B’s (Beatles, Beach Boys, Buffalo Springfield & The Byrds), Love, Moby Grape, The Yardbirds & The Misunderstood (particularly the use of the volume pedal, check out the quiet part of “Wake up Sometimes”) and Hendrix.
They spent the first 6 months of their existence in the laboratory (AKA a rehearsal studio in Kensington, London) before hitting the road.
An early stage favourite “Batmutation Overdrive” was the Batman Theme that careered into Interstellar Overdrive and could last anywhere from 5-15 minutes depending on the crowd reaction.
Covers that were played at early gigs were “She Don’t Care About Time”, “Renaissance Fair” & “Lady Friend” by The Byrds, Dylan’s “Tombstone Blues” and The Buffalo’s “Mr Soul” (later recorded at the ” Wake up sometime” sessions)
During their existence they also covered “See Emily Play” by The Floyd (recorded and released on Imaginary records Syd Barrett tribute “Beyond the Wildwood”, “Faintly Blowing” by Kaleidoscope and “A House Is Not A Motel” by Love (recorded and released on Spanish LP “Wake up Sometime”)
The Chemistry Set could be found playing weekly in London @ venues like The Marquee, The Borderline, The Greyhound, Rough Trade Record Shop & regularly at Alice in Wonderland. They played with Robyn Hitchcock, Bevis Frond, The Steppes and even good old Hawkwind.
The bands rehearsal sessions were more like gigs. Every Saturday a trail of about 50 freaks and hippies would make their way to the rehearsal studio, where they would watch a 4 hour freakout and jam session. Greg Shaw once paid a visit with The Steppes and a Chem Set/Steppes jam session ensued.
In February 1989 The Chemistry Set entered into Raven Farm Recording Studios to record their first LP; Sound Like Painting. The LP was finished and ready for release in April 1989. Interviewed at the time by Bucketful of Brains, they had been offered a number of deals from record companies; Voxx (USA), Music Maniac (Germany), Resonance (Holland) & Romilar-d (Spain) but were holding out to see who else would come along.
The BOB (USA) review of Sounds Like Painting
TheBobsoundslikepaintingreview.jpg
The band sent out about 200 copies of the LP to record companies, fanzines, magazines and radio stations and it was “Sounds Like Painting” that became the main reference point for the band.
Sounds Like Painting was never released.
Jim Mcgarry, Head of the Rainbow Quartz label said ” It is one of my favorite albums of all time” http://www.internationalpopoverthrow.com/may2001.htm
This was early unfinished artwork for the LP.
Tracks:
1. Some People Never Learn
2. The Candleburns
3. The Look Inside
4. Acacia Gardens
5. Sittin’ on Top of the World
6. Orange Juice Sun
7. Living Alone
8. The Dreams That I Saw Yesterday
9. Minas Tirith
10. Under The Valley
Enjoy from the master tapes @320k rapidshare.com/files/Sounds_Like_Painting__The_Chemistry_Set_.rar
The band went on to release many singles, an LP for a Spanish label and numerous compilation appearances but they never again reached the heights that was “Sounds Like Painting”.
Note that the version found here is not the finished “mixed” LP. This is an earlier rough mix (with count-in’s etc) that has more power than the finished version.
“Sounds Like Painting” and most of the above article
first appeared on the great “It’s Psych” forum.

The Third Bardo - The Third Bardo
Personnel:
BRUCE GINSBERG drms - RICKY GOLDKLANG ld gtr - DAMIAN KELLY bs- JEFFREY MOON (real name: NEUFELD) vcls, gtr- RICHY SESLOWE gtr
EPs:
1(A) LOSE YOUR MIND (7") (Sundazed SEP 106) 1993
2(A) THE THIRD BARDO (10") (Sundazed SEP 10-160) 2000
NB: (1) contains Five Years Ahead Of My Time, Lose Your Mind, I Can't Understand Your Problem and Dawn Of Tomorrow. The latter three are previously unreleased. The EP was released on yellow vinyl. (2) gathers all their 1967 recordings - essentially adding two versions of My Rainbow Life (one previously unheard) to the 7" EP tracks. 45: 1(A) I'm Five Years Ahead Of My Time/My Rainbow Life (Roulette 4742) 1967 A New York outfit. Their name, chosen by lead singer Jeffrey Monn and extracted from the 'The Tibetan Book of the Dead', refers to a "return to reality". The inclusion of I'm Five Years Ahead Of My Time on Pebbles, Vol. 3 (LP) has made it something of a classic among collectors of psychedelic punk. Deservedly so in view of its haunting intro and fine fuzztone guitar work. Subsequently it has resurfaced on other compilations:- Born Bad (The Songs The Cramps Taught Us), Songs We Taught The Cramps, Nuggets Box (4-CD), Pebbles Vol. 3 (CD), Trash Box (5-CD) and Best of Pebbles, Vol. 1 (LP & CD). Rusty Evans of The Deep/Freak Scene wrote the 45 for The Third Bardo along with songwriter Victoria Pike, who was married to The Third Bardo's producer Teddy Randazzo (of Roulette Records) at the time. The excellent flip side of the 45 can also be heard on Vile Vinyl, Vol. 2 (LP) and Magic Carpet Ride (LP) whilst another version of it appears on Freak Scene's Psychedelic Psoul LP. If that wasn't enough, David Walters (author of the excellent "Children of Nuggets" book) has pointed out that the version of My Rainbow Life on Glimpses, Vol. 4 (LP) is an acetate version, 20 seconds shorter than the final single and with a different mix! Both sides of the 45 can also be now heard on Psychedelic Microdots Of The Sixties, Vol. 3 (CD). In the early seventies, their lead singer Neufeld released an album under another pseudonym, Chris Moon. In the 1980s The Nomads did a fine cover version of I'm Five Years Ahead Of My Time and Kenne Highland's Majestic Gizmos reworked it into He's Five Beers Ahead Of Your Time (!) on the LP of that name. In 1999, Rusty Evans has helped re-record I'm Five Years Ahead Of My Time, My Rainbow Life and a number of other tracks with his son's band Kaos. Although currently unreleased, the new recordings are great, capturing the spirit of the originals. Rusty may also be writing some new material for The Third Bardo themselves, who played live again on May 16th 1999 with a line-up of Jeff Moon aka Neufeld, Damian Kelly and Ricky GoldClang from the original band. As for former drummer Bruce Ginsburg, his whereabouts are unknown - somewhere in California, whilst Richie Seslowe sadly died of a drug overdose in the eighties.

V.A. - Boulders Vols 1-11
In the late 1970s and 1980s, the Moxie label was famous, or infamous, for its Boulders compilations of obscure 1960s garage rock.Boulders was to Pebbles what Pebbles was to Nuggets; an even rawer,
more obscure approach to unearthing 1960s garage music,
in both the rarities unearthed and the fidelity and graphics of the packages.

Location is very often everything when it comes to great folk music, whether it be the tranquil green countryside of home-counties England that informed the pastoral moods of Nick Drakes legendary albums, or the heather-clad moorland and Neolithic sites of Northern England used today as backdrops to the avant-folk experimentation of Xenis Emputae Travelling Band. In the world of psychedelic folk there are few better examples of this than the sole self-titled release from 1973 by These Trails, a then little known folk act from Hawaii, that is now held up, with deserved reverence, as a cult-classic of the genre. It is an album that skillfully combines a keen sense of melody with otherworldly vocals from the enigmatic late Margaret Morgan and innovative sonic experimentation that over 30 years later has stood the test of time. What’s more the band furnished each of its tracks with the colours, scents and atmospheres of the botanical treasure of the volcanic Pacific island paradise that birthed them.~by Simon Allen
