Angus MacLise - Invasion of the Thunderbolt Pagoda



When Lou Reed ditched this shamanic man from the original lineup of VU, obviously he made a terrible mistake. After leaving the Velvet Underground for good, Angus traveled around between North Africa, India, Greece, the Middle East and finally finding his place in Nepal. A student of both La Monte Young and Aleister Crowley, he would begin to blend Tibetan mysticism with his music to create magical forms of transcendent sound through various drone techniques. If you try this album, then you will likely to find that the Skaters' music is the mammoth serenaded by this dinosaur music. You just can't describe this. Try it.

Teeth Mountain - Tour EP



Baltimorean tribal troopers Teeth Mountain's Tour EP. Heavy sets of voodoo percussions mixed with droning rainbow piss electrocuted in seas of electronic bliss. Great stuff!

Dara Puspita - A Go Go...



Now then, most of my posts are psych-out gatherings but this one is slightly off the hook. Dara Puspita is the only Indonesian garage girl band from the sixites. The band was a popular attraction in Indonesia and also in the region, playing to enthusiastic crowds in neighbouring countries, such as Thailand and Malaysia. In 1968 they took the almost unprecedented move for an Indonesian band of trying their luck in Europe and spent the next few years touring in England, Holland, France, Belgium, Spain, Germany and Hungary. They even played in Turkey and Iran. While in England they recorded two singles for CBS and recorded another for Philips in Holland. In late 1971 the band returned to Indonesia and played a number of concerts, but enthusiasm was starting to wane and in April 1972 they played their last show. But their music never dies. Never!

Mammatus - The Coast Explodes



Hailing from Santa Cruz County, California, these massive saturn rockers invites you to attend the most insane cosmic rock & roll party ever and get really baked on their thunderous licks of sun heat riffs that washes into darks & lights over the reminiscence of Sabbath, Hawkwind and other smokey heroes of the galaxy.

Boduf Songs - The Strait Gait



Southampton creepster Matt Sweet came out with another midnight music with timely splashing cymbals, scratchy guitar sounds and deep thunderous drones. Latitudes releases are undoubtedly mental. Hit this.

Stag Hare - Black Medicine Music



My new favorite chakra-aligner!! Stag Hare is probably one of the most intriguing ethno-ambient chiefs who can guide your soul through the metaphysical journey to another dimensions. Mastered by another greater chief, Adam Forkner, this piece of jewel is highly, highly recommended.

AKA - Forever in Rock



Okay so this is a great album from the late 70's by the great prog gods from Indonesia, AKA. Afro-powered heavy distortion meets mathematic funky beats and undead anti-stoner vocals of Ucok AKA will easily bring your house down to the very bits. Sober jams but not for the weak hearts.
