NEON PEARL 1967 Recordings

Guerssen

The English Neon Pearl were formed in 1967 by Peter Dunton (Gun, Please, T2), and after some changes the band took its final form and
consisted of Peter Dunton (drums/keyboards/vocals), Bernie Jinks (bass) and Nick Spenser (guitar). The band recorded some amazing songs, full of psychedelic/pop smells, which, however, didn’t pique the interest of any label, as a result of which they remained unreleased for many years, while Dunton created the exquisite and   supreme band of Please! Some of the songs of Neon Pearl such as Dream Scream, Forever, Urban Ways, What You See etc, are magical, extremely psychedelic and lyrical. It is surprising that that tracks were not released then! Be that as it may, the release of Guerssen comes for those who didn't get the reissue of Acme a few years ago. Take it NOW! 

MAQUINA Why?

 Guerssen

Why? by Maquina from Catalonia was first album released back in 1970 on the Diábolo label and has since been considered one of the Spanish top psychedelic/prog albums. Josep Maria “Tapi” Vilaseca (drums), Josep Maria París (fuzz guitar), Luigi Cabanach (wah guitar), Enric Herrera (organ) and Jordi Batiste (bass/flute/ vocals) in their first album offered us an unsurpassed album full of fuzz and wah guitars, extremely colorful organ, wonderful flute and nice vocals! Of course, the album features the eponymous 24-minute song split on both sides of the vinyl, where the guitars derailments are maintained on earth with the help of an excellent organ, as well as the drums. Of course, we must not forget the great I believe that opens the album, one of the top songs that had been recorded in Spain!! An album for those who have not had the chance to get it until now, which is released of white vinyl of 300 copies.

THOUGHT BUBBLE Primal Connection

Dub Cthonic Records

Thought Bubble recently released their debut album Around (Dirty Filthy Records ). Here at Primal Connection the moods of this electronic band are much darker. Nick Raybould and Chris Cordwell are recording 6 tracks with a total duration of just over an hour. The sounds produced by the British here seem to radiate electronically stellar bodies, first enveloping recycled in our minds and later  throughout the universe. Electronic music but analog drums and electric guitar. And do not worry if you feel that your mind is full of bubbles. It depends on what mood you listen  this kind of music! Thought Bubble  play electronic music, sometimes touching the edges of the kraut, gently caressing the ambient dimensions, cordially greeting some dub paths and all this wrapped in electro/space clouds. The excellent "Veering" somehow encapsulates the essence of this band.  Limited edition cassette!!!!
