Various Artists – The Electric Asylum Vol. 1 – Rare British Acid Freakrock (2009)

A very cool collection of work — and one that moves way past the typical vibe of the usual psyche comp you might expect! A fair bit of the recordings here are from the early 70s UK scene, and show a real evolution since the end of the previous decade — a move towards styles that are a bit leaner than before, with some cool compression and other production tricks in the mix — almost elements that are a precursor for sounds to come in the space rock and glam scenes, but still definitely more psyche-based here. As with other Past & Present sets, there’s a full batch of notes telling the tale of each unique track — and the set list is filled with gems. (dustygroove.com)
