TAMAN SHUD
:Evolution:.. / ............................................... / ..
AUSTRALIA Orange CBS - sbp-233761 - Stereophonic
1969 Final Collection ORIGINAL Copy
200 CLEAN - estimated clean value 55 years onward
Evolution is a very psychedelic album from the Australian surf acid rock progressive s Taman Shud. There are sections within of pure psych prog and other sections finding cool underground rock structures reminiscent of late 60s moves, a nice touch.
The vocals of Lindsay Bjerre are raw and unpolished, the songs are to the point for the most part, and there are strong rhythms they were a no frills Aussie product of the psychedelic 60 s. A lot of the songs are shining moments.
It s a Beautiful Day has a staccato riff that pulsates along with a simple guitar motif, and then the time signature becomes odd. The 2 guitars have a spacey quality, with very pronounced arpeggios. The lyrics are strange and nonsensical it s a beautiful day the sound of the symphony...to a house of no ending, the minds are bending... The time signature completely changes toward the end to an almost whimsical tune.
Mr Strange is a rocker with a driving beat and heavy guitars, the drumming is relentless and overblown with crashing cymbals that are constant. The psychedelic lyrics are notable it s been a while since we saw you I thought it was very strange, how does it feel Mr Strange, how is the weather today, you ve been walking round in the rain... the bird has flown now your seed is sown...
Another blazing rock number with raucous guitars.
Falling Up has a quirky riff that sounds a bit like the Crazy World of Arthur Brown in structure and feel. The lead break is a cool surfed-up refrain typical of the underground 60s, similar to The Sonics garage or acid rockers The 13th Floor Elevators.
Jesus Guide Me is another rocking song and the lead singer Lindsay Bjerre is almost screaming the words Jesus Guide Me as if he is crying out in desperation for help. Perhaps this is like the cry from the Jesus freaks, the long haired hippies searching for meaning during the late 60s.
Lady Sunshine has a metronome swinging beat that drives it and some unusual guitar noises. The vocals are melodic with typical 60s flower power themes, lady sunshine let that sunshine in . The stoner rock on the album is evident on the types of tracks that seemed designed to get high rather than to admire any type of musical virtuosity.
The final song is Too Many Life with a very strange structure, a driving beat that moves in metrical shapes slow to fast, and lead guitar breaks that flow along simply yet effectively. The lyrics are rebellious anecdotes and the cry of wanting to be free from the system, the cry of the 60s youth Too many people using my time, blowing my mind, too many juries, judging my time, jailing my mind... After the freakout ending, there is a male scream of pain and then a female screaming like she is being murdered and then we hear footsteps down a hallway. It would really freak some listeners out not prepared for such disturbing ending. In a way it is like a scream of agony from the youth wanting to be set free from the expectations in conforming to the rules and regulations of the late 60s.
The band are not showcasing as virtuoso musicians on this album but they make their intentions known in their no-nonsense style with some cuts almost clocking 4 minutes and one clocking in at 7 minutes. They were not designed for prosperity or longevity, Lindsay Bjerre even admitted in an interview that they might not have were not good enough for an American tour and so pretty much kept to the surf and sun of Australian shores to bring their music to the masses. Certainly TAMAN SHUD were a product of their time and this album was a solid first album a taste of the Aussie underground 60s rock prog and is quite a curiosity worth having.
