3265Niche prog!
Faust BBC Sessions 1973
I've no idea if these are the same sessions that got a formal release a few years back, I expect there is some overlap but this is a private copy made from the original master tapes by a friend and mole who works as an archivist when they were being transferred a couple of years ago. No titles, just three long tracks straight from the spools of a couple of Peel sessions although you'll recognize 'Krautrock' in the midst of it all. It's super, lots of ploddy, leaden grooves and honking saxes and those irritating little absurd pop moments they're good at.
Rustic Hinge - Replicas
(Vinyl transfer made by a friend on his tiny little kitchen turntable, the sound quality is fine though.)
Hmmm! This could be a hard sell - take a look at them in action - but they have their moments and are definitely worthy of investigation. I can't think of a UK band that was so quick to pick up on Captain Beefheart (the album dates from 1969), and one so unashamedly eager to totally cop the whole Magic Band vibe as the above clip amply demonstrates. At least half of this LP is brilliant in its own way and anyone that loves Lick My Decals.. in particular will get something from it but there are one or two hideous passages of prog excess (chortlingly clever and self-conscious steals from Bartok) tread carefully though and this is a neglected gem, the band themselves were members of The Crazy World of Arthur Brown - I’ve just found this snippet puts it all into perspective:

One of the major problems encountered by Brown was the reputation of Captain Beefheart, who'd emerged from the California desert to pioneer a new form of music wholly conversant with strangeness and adventure. Drachen recalled: "Back in 1967, we spent a week in the South of France with Beefheart at the Cannes MIDEM festival. I was absolutely spellbound. I thought Arthur was the craziest, most soulful, vocal showman on the scene, but after seeing Beefheart, he was put into second place. Arthur was into him, but it was important for him not to be a Beefheart clone. So he tried to put down our Beefheart influence, which was wrong. He should have sung on the Rustic Hinge stuff but he didn't want to know. So we parted company.
If ever there was a missing link in the history and development of British psychedelic music it is Rustic Hinge. 'Replica' belatedly issued by Reckless Records in 1988, displays an abandoned sense of discipline sorely lacking in UK music of the time. Originally recorded as 'T On The Lawn For 3', 'Replica' features the Rustic Hinge tapes before they were re-edited for planned release as a one-sided album for John Peel's Dandelion label. The tape given to Dandelion featured singer Rod Goodway on a couple of cuts and was an edited version of the 'Replica' material.

3266Thanks Chris! I'm sure the Faust will be good, but I am super excited to hear the Rustic Hinge. Excellent way to start the week.

Lucifer's Friend - "Lucifer's Friend"
"Lucifer's Friend was a German band who recorded their self-titled debut in 1970. Imagine if Deep Purple had recorded an unknown secret album with a pre-Rainbow Ronnie James Dio on vocals, and you'll have a good idea of what this holds in store. The main difference is that this album lacks the brutally tedious unaccompanied soloing that plagued a great deal of Deep Purple's material ("The Mule," anyone?). This album is tight and concise, with expertly crafted songs and impressive interplay between the musicians, and it doesn't bore for a second.
The album kicks off in grand style with "Ride In The Sky," a short and to the point shuffle that bears more than a passing resemblance to "The Immigrant Song" by Led Zeppelin, but is simply too fucking good for anyone to care. From there the songs become more epic and unrestrained, as in the case of the album's high point, "Toxic Shadows." This song features incredible interaction between the musicians and features vocal and instrumental hooks so all-consuming that the helpless listener has no choice but to surrender his will to them. By the time the album wraps up with the song "Lucifer's Friend," the band has pretty much had the last word on the correct way to make an early-70's proto-metal album.
Now for the bad news.
There are two major warnings that any responsible journalist must communicate to anyone considering buying this album. The first is for anyone purchasing the 1990 CD reissue. It features five bonus tracks, which sound nothing like the rest of the album, and have more in common with "Penny Lane" by the Beatles. Songs such as these are why the "program" feature on CD players was invented, and the listener is advised to use this technological marvel. The second warning is much more dire: After this album, the band apparently decided that they were being held back by the stylistic limitations of heavy rock, and from their second album onward they pursued a jazzier, more progressive direction. No matter how much you like the debut, whatever you do, do not buy any of their other albums. You may be tempted to do so. You may be so impressed by the debut that curiosity may get the better of you and cause you to splurge for one of the later albums, just to see what it's like. Don't do it. Don't even download it for free. The later Lucifer's Friend albums are to be strenuously avoided. In fact, the later Lucifer's Friend albums are so atrocious that they are to be avoided not just like the plague, but like the most burning, itching, dripping case of gonorrhea ever suffered by the most used-up, chancre-ridden prostitute trolling the strip in Reno, Nevada."

3267Thanks, Nina! I'm all over that.
Nice to see Dan get a mention here too. That guy's a friend of mine and a hell of a funny writer, not to mention a musical encyclopedia

3268I have a feeling that this has been requested and posted before, but I can't find it and the links are probably dead anyway.
I would really like to have a copy of "Clear Spot" by Mr. Van Vliet.
It's really and truly out of print, as best I can tell. They can't get it at my local record emporium, but the did congratulate me on my excellent taste...
