Song of the Day - August 8, 2005

Check this song out! If you are a lover of psychedelic music, garage bands, and the like, you will not be disappointed. The Alchemysts' track "Gone" is pure psychedelic bliss. I can hear influences of The Cramps mixed with lots of reverb in the guitars, alla something you might hear from the Pulp Fiction soundtrack. The whole album Zero Zen is just the ultimate combination of 60's psychedelic influences, mixed with the rawness of a garage brand, all transported to the 21st century. Excellent tracks include: "Achievement Song," a very tripped out song with random rants and fuzzy guitars, "DMT Blues," great extended guitar solos, I detect a note of Zappa influence here, and "The Psychic Fayre," which sounds like it could have come from The Stones classic psychedelic album Their Satanic Majesties Request, had only Mick Jagger consumed more speed. Oh, I almost forgot the track "Rocket 69" a pure bundle of raw energy, it reminds me of Iggy and The Stooges. To hear the song of the day click here.
