Advantages: Fantastic music Disadvantages: Not a single one
Psychedelic Frequencies is probably one of my most favourite CDs of all times. It is a compilation of some of the best Psychedelic music that was ever created.
It starts off with the seminal work, "White Rabbit" by Jefferson Airplane. The soaring, sexually charged voice of Grace Slick on this song (which owes a great deal for its musical structure to Ravel's Bolero) is a definitive musical moment of the 1960s counter culture. (Oops, I think I went a bit OTT then!)
The second track, King Midas in Reverse, by The Hollies, has some exceptionally fine acoustic guitarwork. It tells the story of someone who is "King Midas with a curse, he's King Midas in reverse" The use of strings and orchestral instruments and tambourines adds greatly to this song.
Track three, War In Peace, by Skip Spence, is probably typical of the late 1960 ...
Advantages: Great music from the flower power era Disadvantages: One (or maybe two) songs don't really belong on it
Psychedelic Visions is one of my favourite CDs inmy record collection. Oops, sorry! Showing my age a little with that reference to a record collection! As are the tracks on this CD. They, too, are showing their age, but like a fine wine have truly stood the test of time.
The first song on the CD is Kites by Simon Dupree and The Big Sound. Wow. What can I say? This song is a reminder of my childhood, hearing it on Radio Caroline late at night. It is atmospheric, orchestral, Oriental and "poppy" all at the same time. Can a song really be all of those things at the same time? Back them in the era of flower power, all things were possible. Or so we thought! The composer had the unlikely name of Hal Hackaday. "In letters of gold on a snow white kite I will write I love you, and send it soaring high above you?"
Track 2 is something that ...
Advantages: great selection, good variety Disadvantages: somehow mistitled, mostly traditional stuff
Rough Guide, best known for their budget travel guides, has been steadily expanding in other areas, and has been responsible for quite a few musical "guides" over the years.
This 1998 album, marketed as "Rough Guide to the Music of Eastern Europe", does pretty much exactly what is says on the package: provides quite a wide ranging overview of folk and (occasionally) folk-inspired music of Eastern Europe. This is an album that pretty much started my liking for "world music" coming frommy part of the world, and despite its age it remains a good compilation which really does showcase the variety of what's on offer quite well.
One thing that this "Rough Guide" album needs is perhaps a better definition of what is considered Eastern Europe: this is a surprisingly woolly category (I always remember somebody commenting than Poland ...
