It was legendary record producer Alan Lorber that came up with the concept of "The Bosstown Sound" -- "The Sound Heard 'Round The World" to market and promote the best and brightest of the Bean Town sixties psychedelic scene. (Boston's key groups at the time included Orpheus, Beacon Street Union, Ultimate Spinach, Chamaeleon Church and others). The Ultimate Spinach, arguably the finest of them all, produced magnificent examples of surreal psychedelic record-making, now prized by crate-diggers an…

“Hosono-esque vocals, dub beats and reggae vibes infused into ethereal dreamy mellow rock.”The album just sucks you out of the current place and state you are in. And drops you 40 minutes later back.

Huge Tip! “Sacred Aeolian music capturing and harnessing the divine power of the wind”. Aeolian Harp is somewhere between a string instrument and a receiver. Its strings are agitated by the wind without any human interference, producing tones entirely of its own volition. Archer toured the British Isles setting up his harp in various sacred and loosely mystical locations. Where he let the Devaharp transmit an otherwise unknown sacred music that has always existed around us. Listening to the natu…

2026 Repress. Released in January 1968 on MGM Records, Ultimate Spinach's self-titled debut arrived at the centre of one of rock history's most audacious marketing campaigns.

Despite the hype, the album proved singular: a dense, effects-saturated slab of East Coas…

*100 copies limited edition* Originally released in 2003, Requiem for Abandoned Souls returns as a double-LP reissue, marking the album’s first appearance on vinyl. Across 9 interlinked tracks, Peter Andersson’s raison d’être shapes an existential passage through desolation, faith and the possibility of inner renewal.

On Renaissance, that experience comes through in full: strong compositions, fluid playing, and a band that knows exactly where to take the music. …
