SPACETIME CONTINUUM WITH TERRENCE MCKENNA



Alien Dreamtime - recored live February 1993 in San Francisco.
Words and ideas from the remarkable Terrence McKenna.
Sounds like the album's artwork.

PAKISTAN: INSTRUMENTAL FOLK AND POP SOUNDS 1966-1976


A mad mix of rock'n'roll, surf, beat, mashed up with sitar, folk and charas.
1966-76 must have been a fun time to visit Pakistan.
Sublime Frequencies label.

THE HEPTONES



The Heptones, 1967.
The first album from this fine vocal trio playing true Jamaican rocksteady.
Sweet harmonies, great melodies,
easy going and uplifting.

EARTH


Pentastar: In The Style of Demons, 1996.

A forgotten classic from Sup Pop Records.

KAPUTTER HAMSTER


Kaputter Hamster, 1974.
The only album from this short lived krautrock band from Flensburg, Germany.
They sound like a garage band playing prog-rock. 
Songs full of imagination, chopping and changing like a hamster's dream. Probably.

WITCH


Lazy Bones, 1975.
Wicked and fuzzy garage funk psych from Zambia.
Melodic, raw and full of energy.

PRASANNA


Electric Ganesha Land, 2006. 
Guitarist Prasanna pays tribute to Jimi Hendrix by mixing South Indian Carnatic percussion instruments with his insanely good electric guitar skills.
A wicked fusion of big riffs and rocked-out ragas.
