With their Æ99 release WhatÆs Up With Timothy Dee? hailed as the album of
the year (!!!) by none other than Bomp, and after no less than ten years of
them being onÆnÆaround the moderndaze æ60s garage beat scene, I must say
that IÆm a bit ashamed to admit that IÆve never had a chance to hear any of
their records.
Thankfully, my eyes (and ears for that matter) are now being open with the
ôsmellö of Hashish, while The Satelliters have just proven their belonging
to the Children Of Nuggets family, making RhinoÆs future box set project of
the same name meaningless, unless it is decided to include them after all
(which, unfortunately, isnÆt the initial idea).
Coming from Germany, it is obvious that the band has an equal admiration
for both British and American mid-to-endÆ60s sounds, sorted in an almost
imaginary chronological order. The freaky beat of the harp-wailing opener
Go Away, shares a bit of the snarly delivery of The Stairs, and they
continue with the garage-punk fuzzfest of Sweet Sensation, which they
revisit a bit later on, in Stoneage Man.
Anything I Do is like a combination of the influences, sounding kinda like
I CanÆt Explain-by-way-of-American-garage-punk, The Last Complaint Of
Clarence Man and The First Rays Of Light are a pair of
garage-punk-goinÆ-folkydelic tunes, while Tomorrow Is Another Day goes the
other way æround, like Dylan-goinÆ-garage-punk àà even before he went
electric!!!, and the appropriately chosen closer 1969-The End Of Time, is a
Stooges-like heavy psych, making a statement that perfectly represents The
SatellitersÆ concept.
As for the choice of covers, they are just as representative of the above
diversity, ranging from the primordial garage punk of We The PeopleÆs You
Byrn Me Up & Down (sic), through The AssociationÆs Five Man Band (sic), to
The Small FacesÆ Wham Bam Thank You Mam.
