VA - Mixed-Up-Minds (Obscure Rock And Pop From The British Isles 1968 - 1975) Part 1 to 14 [2010-2019] (14 x CDs)


OBSCURE ROCK & POP FROM THE BRITISH ISLES


VA - Mixed-Up-Minds (Obscure Rock And Pop From The British Isles 1968 - 1975) Part 1 to 14 [2010-2019] (14 x CDs)

From the makers of "Cornflake Zoo" series & "Beatfreak!" series, Particles Label presents "Mixed-Up-Minds" which is an intrepid exploration into the abyss of obscure British rock and pop. It is spectacular in its breadth and depth. Fuzz guitars, flutes, tablas and wah-wah pedals are the primary weapons applied by a host of bands that signify the changing times and the aftermath of the psychedelic dream. Prepare to encounter the evocative underbelly of late 60's to mid 70's British rock. A tantalizing dose of forgotten dreams from the suburban drifts of Britain, in the aftermath of psychedelia, and in a less flamboyant 1970s, fading stars continued to shine as brightly, but to much less acclaim. Amidst the glam rock and progressive bourgeoisie, pop songs knew their place, but for every T-Rex, 10cc, Bowie, and Queen, there was other more unlucky and less commercial artists that sat in the underbelly of pomp and hysteria. These Brits are mainly focused on songcraft, adding "trippy" touches only to liven up the rather straightforward AM radio pop arrangements once in a while. Despite the rather pedestrian nature of the 20 tracks available on each CD, there are close to no clunkers, and well-crafted touches like the swaying harmonies and the hooky chorus's that are so deftly deployed it’s hard not to feel warmly content as a result. Each of these 20 ripping yarns were cruelly denied their crown first time round, all recorded between 1968-1975. (Amazon)
