Neo-Psychedelia / Psychedelic Rock / Prog (80s-today)

http://www.popmatters.com/review/telepathicbutterflies-introducing/ wrote:But it’s the music that sells the package. A post-punk explosion of the Kinks into the Pixies. The loud and raucous early days of XTC crammed into their latter-day Dukes of Stratosphear psych-out. Nevermind does Abbey Road. The comparisons have already been made by pundits, but they hold up. The Telepathic Butterflies use heavy guitar rock and swirling melodies to evoke a sense of rock’s past glories without losing touch with the present. Like their countrymen in Sloan, they don’t divide rock and pop into separate spheres, and so they avoid much of the fey beautification that often pervades the Pop Underground scene. It’s an at once familiar and yet somehow refreshing sound.

AQUA NEBULA OSCILLATOR, a Parisian garage & psychedelic rock outfit, were formed in 1999 by the frontman David Spher’OS (guitar, sitar, voices & ‘oscillations’). Through ‘long spatially improvised performances’ in Paris, they could solidify their ensemble and musical style much influenced by Hawkwind, MC5, Shankar, Sun Ra or Silver Apples. After the European tour they nearly split up but David worked on producing experimental tunes and made an effort to reform the band with the help of Juan TRIP (drums, percussion), Takumi IIDA (bass) and David Alfonso GALLEGO (voices & epileptic dance). As a result, AQUA NEBULA OSCILLATOR could make a success of ‘Happening impro’ concerts with cultic rituals and release their eponymous debut album from Pan European Recording in February 2008.

Sadly this dream could not go on for a long while…they broke up soon. David, apart from the other members and left alone, traveled in London for Garage Psychedelic Festival. He met a charming dancer named Shazzula, ringing his bell. David at once invited her to Paris as a vocalist, call Simon BOUTELOUP (bass) one of the founding members, and recruited Vince POSADZKI from Quebec (drums, guitars) - AQUA NEBULA OSCILLATOR came back as a different ensemble.

http://www.psychedelic-music.net/pmdb/db3/db_band.php4?id=130 wrote:This, sole album by this amazing New York neo psych band, was originally releases in 1996 on Voxx. We’re talking about Dino Sorbello’s 90’s band that played a bit heavier stuff than his previous bands The Mad Violets and Blacklight Chameleons. The basis for this band still was late 60’s garage psych. Many of the songs strongly remind me of Sun Dial’s output, and since that band is one of my favourites I’m naturally very much into Laughing Sky, as well! During the recordings the band was mostly a trio formed by Dino (vocals, guitar, Vox organ), Jamie Ross (bass) and Brad Kelly (drums), but on the title track there’s also a second guitar player and apparently different bass player and drummer.

Chantelle's thunderous bass playing and angelic singing make her a contrast within herself.
The bearded drummer, Lowden, smashes his drums with so much tribal fury his hands often turn crimson red.

Magic Hour is the brainchild of Bostonian Wayne Rogers, who has released several solo albums on the Twisted Village label in the 1990's, as well as sporadically leading the garage/psychedelic band Crystallized Movements in the 1980's (which managed to release five albums on Twisted Village). In 1994, the band gained recognition when Rogers and longtime guitar partner Kate Biggar were joined by Galaxie 500's rhythm section Damon Krukowski and Naomi Yang, on drums and bass, respectively. From 1994 to 1996, Magic Hour released a string of excellent albums on the Twisted Village label, but the band was largely ignored in the press and certainly by the mainstream. The band's 1994-1996 period was defined by Rogers' psychedelic guitar work, laid atop Damon and Naomi's light-as air and always hypnotic playing that helped make Galaxie 500's sound so beautiful. The band rarely toured, except around the New England area, and seemed content to keep releasing annual studio albums. During this period, Rogers continued to put out solo albums while Damon and Naomi focused on running their independent book publishing company and released two albums on their own in 1993 and 1996.

http://www.riseaboverecords.com/artists/riseaboveartists/hiddenmasters/ wrote:Hidden Masters. Three men, three entirely different entities…. the sharply attired, smooth voiced, fireball guitarist David Addison (who would certainly have been at home in Joe Meek’s back room), wild haired psychedelic bassist Alasdair C Mitchell and behemoth singing drummer John Nicol. This most energetic of musical units concoct a truly mind bending miz-maze of cleverly constructed, lightly spiced musical escapades that somehow embraces Norman Petty Studio productions and the various tones and sub-genres of the Elektra and Vertigo bands in one fell swoop. Honest. What make this trio so special beyond their exemplary musicianship and singing is their utterly daring free form grasp of genre breaking. And some think it could never be done. Poo-ee! Dave can veer from Johnny Kidd & The Pirates styled rock ‘n’ roll to searing Avalon Ballroom acid-rock into full blown progressive rock time signatures that moves from folk and classical into proto-metal and back again. Call it excessive if you will, but it works and even at its most complex it’s never over blown.

I think some of these folks also play in the improvsed Brian Ellis group. The spoken words are all in Spanish as are all the song titles. The music is mostly instrumental very intense...I have to say this is some of the absolutely most intense effected organ and synth playing I have ever heard, this Tyler Daughn is fucking unreal. He gives the music a total head fuck! The last track Simplón is a bit more composed and less of a full on freakout but no less intense. This one hell of a record to sit through and you need to hear some pretty mellow stuff afterwards but I am fully ready for the next trip!  Awesome.
