Review by schnoidl May 06, 2008

referencing The Perfect Prescription, LP, GLALP 026

This was the essential album that opened my mind to the world of truly psychedelic music, tunes made not to break through into wider fame, but for the trippers to take home and wrap up in. The title of one of their other records says it all: "Taking Drugs to Make Music to Take Drugs To". Other Music's logo uses the same font that they did; unconfirmed, but I think it is a fairly safe assumption that it's an homage to this incredibly seminal band. Generally people have either not heard of them, or they're one of their top favorite bands. Long grinding drones, or two-chord barges, lots of vibrato shimmering like narcotized moonlight, and wild lost leads pushed way back in the mix; not for everyone I suppose, but highly recommended if you're fond of the other side.
