ABOUT THIS ITEM

Very interesting and unusual 1970s PCP-inspired compilation featuring a highly charged mix of psych funk, prog, afro, glam, cosmic, rock and disco. Some very rare pieces on here such as the cosmic reggae-inspired 360 Degrees the groovy psych-prog of the Creative Craniums and the raw prototype psych-funk of Kid Rock (not that one). Others will be better known to lovers of a more progressive dancefloor such as Soundforce and Diabolic Man which has long been a big spin for DJ Harvey and Lovefingers alike. Highlights include "Losin'" by Fireball, an obscure French psyche disco boogie outfit featuring Larry Jones; The Jets 1973 cut "Rusty Corinthian Pillar". This is another obscure French band who were better know for cult glam stomper "Yeah", however this B-side track is the real sleeper, mixing prog and funk with really cool spacey synths; Danta's "Mother", a heavy psyche-Afro-disco cut from the band's one and only 1972 album made working with legendary French jazz drummer Claude Delcloo and musicians connected with Lafayette Afro Rock Band and 70s psyche-soul group Cane & Able; Diabolic Man's "Diabolic Man Instrumental" needs no introduction - it's a much loved fazed psyche-disco tune as championed by DJ Harvey on his "Sarcastic Mix", and also noted by Lovefingers; Big Wheel's "Shake A Tail Part 2" is a tough glam disco-rock stomper which features here as an instrumental version; Ning's "Machine" is a glam disco DJ favourite and the only fruits from this obscure psyche-soul band from Coventry. Strictly limited pressing. 300 copies only.
