Will have to delve deeper into Scott's stack tomorrow, but right now digging this (if it doesn't show, it's Leere Hände (1972) - Ihre Kinder)

Galactic Zoo Dossier by Arthur Brown's Kingdom Come is a pretty good listen. His singing reminds me of a crazed Tom Jones on the track 'Sunrise'.

I really love that early 70s electric organ sound.

The Kingdom Come clip in Glastonbury fayre is pretty tasty too. Wish there was more stuff around from the era.
I think GZD is one of the best psychedelic lps of its era. Not sure what else is a s good other than Hawkwind.

That Arthur Brown record was from '71 so there still was some psych echoes still happening. It's sound fits also along side your electric organ hard rock groups like Uriah Heep, Atomic Rooster and Deep Purple too.

Both quality albums!

Jane Rigler - Rarefactions

which includes Janet Feder who I reminded myself about today thanks to the new Fred Frith/Darren Johnston. This came out last year and I didn't know about it.

zen (sound & silence)... the only non-discogs reference i can find to this is someone (disparagingly) calling it "the metal machine music of monk chant albums". sounding good to me!

that sounds amazing

where did you first hear of it?

earlnash, 'bout tyme for some Atomic Rooster reissues, don't you think? Also, speaking of Arthur Brown, did you see this over the Rolling ect. Ingest All etc.:

The last I heard of Arthur Brown, around the turn of the century, he was a music therapist in Austin. Reportedly, he wrote songs with clients.

THE CRAZY WORLD OF ARTHUR BROWN Announces First US Tour In Nearly Five Decades

After a highlight performance at Psycho Las Vegas 2016, hugely influential UK heavy psychedelic progressive eccentrics THE CRAZY WORLD OF ARTHUR BROWN announces their 2017 Zim Zam Zim tour marking their first run of live performances since 1969.

The God Of Hellfire himself, Arthur Brown, will be celebrating fifty years since releasing the debut single "Devil's Grip," which helped shape the British and worldwide psychedelic movement. Pushing theatrics to their dystopian hellscape limits would earn Brown acolytes in everyone from David Bowie and Alice Cooper to Kiss, Marilyn Manson, and Lady Gaga to the entire genre of black metal, and his influence continues to spread today.

"The last time I toured the US with THE CRAZY WORLD was early 1969," Brown confirms. "It was our third tour there. At the time, the band had been headlining massive festivals, alongside Hendrix, Frank Zappa, Jefferson Airplane, and other top attractions of the time. Iggy Pop and Alice Cooper were still only mildly famous, somewhere down the bill."

Zim Zam Zim takes its name from THE CRAZY WORLD OF ARTHUR BROWN's latest album, released in 2014. They'll be joined on this landmark trip by Ohio rockers Electric Citizen, and shows will feature generational sonic offspring like White Hills, Acid King, Pallbearer, Danava, and Jex Thoth.
