:: ::
:: "Some of the best thrills of the Internet music revolution ::
:: is the ability to find extremely rare music with great ::
:: ease. But even with such vast archives to draw from, quite ::
:: a lot of great songs have gone undiscovered for nearly half ::
:: a century ù particularly in genres that lacked hifalutin ::
:: arty pretense. Previously, only the most extremely ::
:: dedicated and passionate record collectors had the stamina ::
:: and prowess to hunt down long forgotten wonders in dusty ::
:: record bins û often hoarding them in private collections, ::
:: or selling at ridiculous collector's prices. Legendary ::
:: compilations like Nuggets, Pebbles, ad nauseum, have ::
:: exhausted the mines of early garage rock and proto-punk, ::
:: keeping alive a large cross-section of underground ::
:: ephemera. However, few have delved into and expertly ::
:: archived the wealth of proto-metal, pre-stoner rock tracks ::
:: collected on Brown Acid: The Second Trip. ::
:: ::
:: Lance Barresi, co-owner of L.A./Chicago retailer Permanent ::
:: Records has shown incredible persistence in tracking down a ::
:: stellar collection of rare singles from the 60s and 70s for ::
:: the growing compilation series. Partnered with Daniel Hall ::
:: of RidingEasy Records, the two have assembled a selection ::
:: of songs that's hard to believe have remained unheard for ::
:: so long. ::
:: ::
:: 'I essentially go through hell and high water just to find ::
:: these records,' Barresi says. 'Once I find a record worthy ::
:: of tracking, I begin the (sometimes) extremely arduous ::
:: process of contacting the band members and encouraging them ::
:: to take part. Daniel and I agree that licensing all the ::
:: tracks we're using for Brown Acid is best for everyone ::
:: involved,' rather than simply bootlegging the tracks. When ::
:: all of the bands and labels haven't existed for 30-40 years ::
:: or more, tracking down the creators gives all of these ::
:: tunes a real second chance at success. ::
:: ::
:: 'There's a long list of songs that we'd love to include,' ::
:: Barresi says. 'But we just can't track the bands down. I ::
:: like the idea that Brown Acid is getting so much attention, ::
:: so people might reach out to us.' ::
:: ::
:: One song on The Second Trip actually never even saw light ::
:: of day, until now. 'Bell Park Loon' by Spiny Norman ::
:: sounding like Jethro Tull on more acid and heavier cider ::
:: languished in a collector's archives, unreleased for 38 ::
:: years until Barresi and Hall arranged to license some of ::
:: the collector's goldmine. ::
:: ::
:: Brown Acid: The Second Trip opens with the squealing guitar ::
:: harmonies and Sabbath plod of Ashæs 'Midnight Wish.' Sweet ::
:: Crystal's 'Warlords' is a fuzzy and fierce Deep ::
:: Purple/Arthur Brown inspired organ-led anthem. Raving ::
:: Maniac's 'Rock and Roll Man' is a tight and brash glam- ::
:: meets-metal tune proving the true potential of a genre ::
:: later squandered on Sunset Strip poodleheads. 'Silence of ::
:: the Morning' by Glass Sun serves grungy psych while the ::
:: Volt Rush Band merges MC5 frantic energy with razor-sharp ::
:: guitar leads. And, Iron Knowledgeæs aptly titled 'Show ::
:: Stopper' features a breakbeat and incredibly infectious ::
:: detuned bass warble motif that DJs would kill for had ::
:: anyone been able to find the tune back in the day. ::
:: Throughout, The Second Trip is yet another wall-to-wall set ::
:: of blazing tracks that feels like you've uncovered a holy ::
:: grail. And, in a way, you have. " ::
