Rls Notes
Around the years, The Beatles were hanging out in Rishikesh, The Doors
and Jimmie Hendrix were inspired by Morocco. The Anjuna Jam Band chose
the beaches of Goa as their place to settle. They were totally unaware
at that point in time that they were making history and are
significant trail blazers. What they have started naturally, will
become a movement that will snowball, expand, and evolve. What started
as a rock band, was the foundations of a huge global phenomena that
initiated as psychedelic rock, and transformed into a scene that will
cross borders and become a worldwide intercontinental psytrance
movement.
The Anjuna Jam Band was one of the main bands of the Live Music Scene
that flourished in Goa from around 1974 until the beginning of the
1980s. Many great musicians would show up in Goa, and many played in
the Anjuna Jam Band, joining the core group of regular musicians who
would come to Goa every season and who were the backbone of the Band,
and the Goa Live Music Scene of that era. These recordings represent
the Anjuna Jam Band in the winter season of 1977/78, which was a
particularly good season, and one of the peak seasons of the 1970s!
The album consists of extremely rare live recordings. This is the
first time music from the band is being officially released after all
these years.
Goa Gil (Kode IV/ The Nommos), one of the band leaders, later became
an icon and probably the most respected and influential psytrance DJ
in the world. With him in the spotlight was Eight Finger Eddie. The
two are brand names and legends of The Goa Scene. The album serves as
a time machine, inviting listeners to relive an era that forever
transformed rock and roll, shaped the cultural landscape, and embodies
the raw energy and boundless creativity that defined the music during
this epoch. These tracks propel listeners on an extraordinary auditory
journey, seamlessly merging the psychedelic sounds of the era with
contemporary sensibilities, resulting in an experience that bridges
the gap between the past and the present. With its evocative lyrics,
impassioned vocals, and masterful musicianship, the album paints a
vivid picture of the freedom, rebellion, and love that defined the
counterculture phenomena, the music channels that feel and draw a
lively, diverse crowd looking to soak up the historic hippie vibe.
The album is a testament to the enduring spirit from the heyday of San
Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district, where the hippie revolution was
in full swing, and captures the essence of a bygone era, when music
served as a catalyst for social change and exploration. It draws
inspiration from the mystical vibes of Goa, a coastal region in India
that became a spiritual heaven for many seeking enlightenment and
transcendence during the '70s. This album is an opportunity to embark
on this sonic pilgrimage and rediscover the magic of the '70s, and in
Goa in particular.
