.1970 ORIGINAL PRIVATE PRESSING TRIPPY ACID GARAGE HEADS FIRE IT UP A RARE ONE ...high in demand for good reason Original 1970 first pressing on the locally pressed PEACE label ...
one of the classic garage-psychedelia albums ...From Minneapolis in Minnesota came The Paisleys exibiting truy stunning psychedelic-rock passages ...The most interesting tracks on their album are Rockin, notable for its use of echoes and sound effects, and the haunting swirling Wind, which is a fantastic acid-nugget included on Endless Journey, Phase 2The PAISLEYS approaches Psychedelia in an earnest, honest style.
The lyrics are reminiscent of Tommy Hall/Roky Erickson s 13th Floor Elevators work in some regards as they are quite explicitly instructional or journalistic with regards to Cosmic experience.
Tellingly, the most interesting tracks have a curious futuristic feel to them, setting The Paisleys quite apart from whatever their influences may have been late period psychy Beatles particularly on one track: The Wind they were clearly on to something, perusing it strongly...It s hard to contemplate this band s historical place in whatever scene they came up in.
With their name and music, The Paisleys clearly were in step with day-glo Nuggets-era happenings, even if those happenings were already 4 years old by the time they themselves recorded.
They certainly weren t copying anyone in particular.
Most crucially, there is a wacky sense of humour throughout Cosmic Mind At Play that sets it apart from heavier offerings, a gentle giggle throughout making it a friendlier soundtrack than some.
It s certainly one of the more unusual records out there - one that stands utterly alone on several counts.Fans of the Elevators and The Golden Dawn would do well to seek out this lesser known offering of late vintage heartfelt American Psychedelic Music.
Despite some wise-guy reviews by straights this album is actually really good and quite noteworthy for even having been made at all
