Here is an example of what happens when a bunch of hippies and revolutionaries with no previous knowledge of music Drugs and instruments are. MAHOGANY BRAIN is a French free-form project, the present, 1977 to the avant garde oriented POLE label released album was recorded in 1972 in a fit of collective madness, and lowest in the state of intoxication. It sounds completely fall off track, degenerates, deprived of any structure and any orientation. But once we look behind the front lines of this Dadaist sound outbreak and we will see, despite the rather unprofessional Live recordings from June afternoon in 1972 a bunch of musicians with a plan. Guitarist, bassist and drummer are in fact not just musical Neanderthal, the bedröhnt to the hairline and pointless halluzinogenisiert lam into their instruments. It is a collective live recording, a jam session, as was typical for that time, but rather for the late 60s yet. Hippie music, free improvisation, and quite a bit accomplished, even if much of an angle and sounds of the track. The experimental Krautrock already burned a wild right from the horizon and the sun is also reflected in the neighboring countries. What Amon Düül, the 1, not 2, had as recorded in 1968 in their massive session, then what in the coming years, in part unfairly by greedy record companies as "Psychedelic Underground", "Paradise Heels Düül", "Collapsing" and "Disaster "was released, is not one bit other than that, what mortise MAHOGANY BRAIN here. Perhaps even a tad revolutionary because early. Yes, like falling into raging obsession or obsessive frenzy, the band are here in the eruptive freiförmigeren moments, has "dawn Silkskin" but also with quite a cute Psychedelic rock number with oblique stoned female vocals. And who takes the trouble to go through this inferno, a second or third time, which is seen drowning in the noisy sound of confused currents even one or the other touching melody. Boogie influences, psychedelia, blues, free jazz, the boys and the girls were quite affected. I would give them the early, most free PINK FLOYD, VELVET UNDERGROUND feat. Nico, Amon Düül and people like Zappa and Beefheart as models assign, maybe jazz musicians like Coltrane, even if something seems far-fetched. Certainly the models playfully yet accomplished, except the Teutonic group, but in the right direction. For fans of sweet beguiling Psychedelicpop this is not suitable for a more Acidfreakout in which you ask not necessarily for the origin of the mushrooms and juices that come there on the table and where you can already start times the little blue spaceship. The sound of the disk is of course as their compositional nature, rough, muddy and unproduced. And yet I find the whole nature of this Gewaltjam ago, from his expression and the way he touched me, so moving fascinating. I'm really in love, but can understand as well that music lovers respond to other demands on extremely hateful. For commuters and - exceed.
