If you've ever come across Bill Shute's old "Inner Mystique" column or Forced Exposure's early 1990s catalog, some names will be familiar: Darius, the New Tweedy Bros., Victoria, Damon, the Music Emporium or the Brain Police for the North Americans, Traffic Sound and Laghonia for the South Americans. All the bands featured have been booted or officially reissued, by the way. Though the emphasis appears to be on the heavier side of psych Yank-wise (1968-73 with a lone 1977 track), things certainly aren't so clear-cut in truth and a distinctive, mellow trippy vein runs pervasive throughout, as evidenced by the boss light psych offerings of Jungle, Michael Angelo, Zerfas, or Lazy Smoke. The Latin American volume (1967-72) is the real mindblower though, sounds unheard of a remarkable pulchritude with a welcome actual Latin feel in spots and an evident pop sensibility. The bands are from Argentina, Peru, Mexico, Chile, Brazil and Venezuela. Overall, this volume definitely holds much more appeal for the real sixties heads among you than the previous one. Highlights are numerous: Almendra, Laghonia, Kissing Spell, Los Mac's or Los Vidrios Quebrados' AMAZING "Oscar Wilde", just to name a few. The series was briefly spotlighted in issue 75 of Mojo under the revelatory title "Life after Nuggets". Finally, I should like to draw your attention to the recent "New Rose Story" boxset: four CDs and a substantial booklet in a beautiful package to remind us all of the significant achievements of this typically French label over the course of 20 years. New Rose might've been somewhat flawed at times, but it was always gloriously so, and I think even a superficial run through some of the bands and artists involved will speak volumes about the contribution of the label towards making the 1980s a better time to have gone through or to remember: Saints, Troggs, Gun Club, Johnny Thunders, Real Kids, Dead Kennedys, True West, Bo Diddley, Lyres, Sky Saxon, Replacements, Divine Horsemen, Green On Red, Cub Koda, Tav Falco's Panther Burns, Chesterfield Kings, Fleshtones, Alex Chilton, Roky Erickson, Nervous Eaters, Giant Sand, Cramps, Elliott Murphy, Texas Mavericks (Doug Sahm), Charlie Feathers, Wreckless Eric, The Legendary Stardust Cowboy, Dr. Feelgood, GG Allin, Gories, Inmates, Moe Tucker, Arthur Lee, Mojo Nixon, Alejandro Escovedo...

Wow! That might even beat my buddy Jaimz (of Wayback Machine "fame"), who aludes to just about every record label out there as _______ Labels, like, for instance, he'll say "That's from the Hate Bombs' 'Hunt You Down' CD on Dionysus LABELS."

Right on! Nils is one of my faves as well. All the Grin albums have some real highlights, especially 1&1 and Go Crazy. I was thinkin' 'bout how much I used to dig this guy whwen we were talkin' 'bout Neil Young. His guitar work even saves one song on Trans! Over the years, he's made some pretty uneven solo albums, but I always enjoyed his deference to great 60's sounds. He did solid covers of the Yardbirds' "For Your Love", the Beatles "Anytime At All", the Stones' "It's All Over Now", Del Shannon's "Go To Pieces" (with Del backing him) and even the Beau Brummels' "Just A Little". Plus I really like his version of "Baltimore" which I think was penned by Randy Newman. But my fave tracks are his own "Keith Don't Go", Please Don't Hide" and "Moon Tears". A definite 70's and 80's guilty pleasure. Rocky. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Jan 2001 21:37:02 -0600 From: cyclops Subject: cyclops update # 14 cyclops zine has been updated.
