A
very cool collection of work -- and one that moves way past the typical
vibe of the usual psyche comp you might expect! A fair bit of the
recordings here are from the early 70s UK scene, and show a real
evolution since the end of the previous decade -- a move towards styles
that are a bit leaner than before, with some cool compression and other
production tricks in the mix -- almost elements that are a precursor
for sounds to come in the space rock and glam scenes, but still
definitely more psyche-based here. As with other Past & Present
sets, there's a full batch of notes telling the tale of each unique
track -- and the set list is filled with gems. (dustygroove.com)
