Love - Forever Changes
“***** (out of five)—Indescribably essential.”—Dave Marsh, Rolling Stone Record Guide The third and final album by the original Love lineup, Forever Changes is universally recognized as the L.A.-based psychedelic folk-rock pioneers’ most fully realized studio effort. Produced by band co-founder Arthur Lee and The Doors’ engineer/producer Bruce Botnik, and released by Elektra in early ’68, the album features Lee’s tremulous vocals, striking melodies, evocative orchestral arrangements, and inscrutable but poetic lyrics. Had Love toured to support this album (Lee adamantly refused), the underground cult heroes would no doubt have achieved worldwide fame that year. Now, more than three decades later, remastered and augmented with bonus material (most of it previously unreleased), Forever Changes captures that moment, while still sounding remarkably contemporary—a clear reflection of Love’s influence on the cosmic travelers jamming the psychedelic grooves of the new millennium. The deluxe packaging includes new liner notes by Ben Edmonds with quotes from group members Arthur Lee, Bryan MacLean, and Ken Forssi along with Bruce Botnik and Elektra founder Jac Holzman. Have a listen, and spread the Love!

Tribe of Cro - Sporadic Spiro-Gyra
Jerry Kranitz
Aural-Innovations
Sporadic Spiro-Gyra is the heavier of the two discs with a core sound that often reminds me of late 60's/early 70's jam rock, but within a space context. The first two songs, the title track and "Dead Men Don't Eat Calcium", are actually two parts of a single tune, and representative of the sound on this release. The first cut sets a driving Deep Purple sounding groove that is accompanied by trippy synth patterns. Dead Men, while retaining the same beat as the opening track goes off into more blatant Krautrock heavy territory with the last few minutes being a total liquid psych jam.
"Sprinklestrap" and "Syzygy" are similar to the opening tracks, but more bluesy. The effect is great as the synths are still dripping everywhere. Some interesting contrast is provided on "Bubbled Engines Of Nim" and "Recipe For Slow Tea", which are more electronic, and, sometimes more experimental, explorations. And Recipe, while still heavy, is a more overtly psychedelic rocker with layers of competing melodies.

The PSE album - their second - has been actually pressed (rather than merely sold) by Delerium. This Bristol based band of hippy punksters have delivered a balanced LP which shows off various facets of their style rather than merely launching into and staying with the type of stoned electronic groove punctuated by the odd reggae anthem which so many modern festival bands seem to think go to make a 'psychedelic' record. "2 Leaving Demons" is a principally instrumental album with one or two numbers having definite leanings towards the strobe-like effect created by bubbly percussion and overplayed bleeps, but also featuring an organ(ic) opening number entitled "Docs Groove", shades of Edgar Broughton in "Rhythm Rhythm" and a distinctive cover of Richie Havens "Freedom" in which the chicks chorus drives the beat along at an accelerated rate of knots. And isn't that a Leslie guitar sound on the closing "Waves of Joy". Bless 'em all. (E.G. McMuffin).
