GM 201 AKA DO WHAT YOU LIKE LP 11.2014
(Note : AKA might have been one of the top acts of the Indonesian rock scene in the
late '60s and early '70s)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GM 202 SILVER BIRCH SILVER BIRCH LP 11.2014
(Note : LP version. Remastered from 1973 original! This cutie actually should be one of
the crown jewels of British folk music from the early 1970s)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GM 203 AKA REFLECTION LP 04.2015
(Note : AKA's 1970 debut album Do What You Like (GM 201CD) combines earthy, heavily
buzzing, and fuzzed-out rock monuments in the vein of classic UK and US bands
with a few tunes in the Continental European heavy rock style, with big chorus
lines and a bit of a pop thrown in for good measure, plus great melodic ballads
and pop tunes in their native Indonesian language. The Indonesian band carried
their trademark sound through whole recording career, including Reflection,
their fifth album, originally released in 1974 and reissued here for the first
time)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GM 204 QUINTAL DE CLOROFILA : O MISTERIO DOS QUINTAIS LP 04.2015
(Note : originally released in 1983, contains a wild and captivating crossover between
Celtic and South American folk from the Andes plus many elements of traditional
music from Southern Europe and some more contemporary singer/songwriter aspects
with a mystical atmosphere)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GM 205 GWYDION THE FAERIE SHAMAN LP 04.2015
(Note : Gwydion Pendderwen was one of the more chatoyant figures of the folk music
underground. Both of his albums -- Sings Songs for the Old Religion (1975) and
The Fäerie Shaman (1982) -- were far above the average standard folk of his
time, especially on his second album from 1982, reissued here for the first
time)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GM 206 SAN UL LIM THE FIRST LP 04.2015
(Note : gentle garage-psych with a dreamy west coast flair and tons of awesome fuzzed
-out guitars... with Korean-language lyrics. Originally released in 1977, South
Korean trio San Ul Lim's debut album sounds like the best psychedelic power pop
and garage stuff you could get in the UK and USA ten years before its release)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GM 207 PROGRESIV TM DREPTUL DE A VISA LP 04.2015
(Note : Romanian prog. band)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GM 211 DEMON FUZZ AFREAKA! LP .2015
Originally released in 1970. Demon Fuzz were an English band but originated from quite
a few former Commonwealth countries which have African roots. Back in 1968, before
they became Demon Fuzz, the musicians started as a typical soul music group. But
following a trip to Morocco, they opened their minds and broadened their musical
vision towards a conglomerate of jazz, African roots music, psychedelic sounds, blues,
powerful rock, and tinges of funk and soul music. The multi-ethnic band felt like
playing multi-ethnic influenced rock for the club and UK festival audiences.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GM 212 THE SLOU EXPLOSION SOUL FIRE LP .2015
GM 212 THE SLOU EXPLOSION SOUL FIRE CD .2015
Originally released in 1968. Detroit? Chicago? Well, no not at all. This 1968 release
came from a German band playing some lush and dynamic soul pop with an emotionally
exalted vocal style reminiscent of Tom Jones at times.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GM 213 THE LITTLE BOY BLUES IN THE WOODLAND OF WEIR LP .2015
Originally released in 1968. The Little Boy Blues emerged from the simmering Chicago
scene of the mid-to-late '60s where the contemporary beat fused with elements of soul,
jazz, blues, and funk, tinged with colorful and dreamy harmonies of acid and garage
rock.
