T&C Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 One of the 2 best latin psych/rock/folk/prog lp's out there... from Peru and sung in english @DrW: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall, I find the quality of the songs a bit uneven, and the sound would have benefited from a better recording studio. Still, the two tracks "Meshkalina" and especially "Jews Caboose" are outstanding. Thanks for posting! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree on a better recording studio but I guess for the time that was what they were working with. Plus there was plenty of acid/buttons, etc. involved. They pulled off the language barrier pretty well I think. Got a laugh out of the Scorpions mention! This is the other one, and I forgot about Another one, that I mentioned of 2. Now 3 but I'll save that one for another time. As far as I know there were 3 different Kaleidoscopes... one US, one UK, and this one, recorded in Mexico with players from all around, Frank Tirado (Puerto Rico) - Vocals and a little bass Orly Vázquez (Puerto Rico) - Vocals in 3 songs, Bass and little guitars Pedrín García (Spain) - Guitar Rafael Cruz (República Dominicana) - Drums Julio Arturo Fernández (República Dominicana) - Organ... Little known but this is one acid drenched listenable piece. From what I know less than 300 copies of this were ever pressed. I have a reissue of 200, forget the number, and a CD copy.

muppy Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Inspired by the movie Elvis (well worth seeing) this song wasn't in the movie but I think its neat they interposed a girl drumming. In the movie real Elvis footage was edited into the actors replication it was really cool and well done just as a side note Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, this was surprisingly good. However, it was more mainstream and less influenced by the music in their home country.

muppy Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 (edited) @DrW I took note that the drummer was again a woman in your clip . It seems to be an underserved role in rock music. Except for this one. She is truly a percussionist icon if the genre. imo. Edited July 10, 2022 by muppy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Steppenwolf — Monster, 1969 And though the past has its share of injustice Kind was the spirit in many a way But its protectors and friends have been sleeping Now it's a monster and will not obey The spirit was freedom and justice And its keepers seemed generous and kind Its leaders were supposed to serve the country But now they won't pay it no mind Cause the people grew fat and got lazy Now their vote is a meaningless joke They babble about law and order But it's all just an echo of what they've been told Can any lyrics from over 50 years ago be so relevant to today’s events?

Maureen "Moe" Tucker. Camera by Andy Warhol (demonstrating that an artist excelling at some expressions of art can suck at others).

This is in my top ten albums of all time... chick drummer And bass player, from 1969, rare as hell... again, I have a reissue. Dora Wahl kind of blows the doors off of Moe really. Its kind of like the mamas and papas to the tenth power... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
