Beautifully plain and dreamy experimental electro-acoustic dance music. 
This is no "born to be wild" stuff, but country and blue grass style. The girl on the cover, and owner of the "iron" beside her is Rogene Rush, who wrote and sang 8 of the 12 songs on the album. The "iron" is from Milwaukee, but the photo was taken at Shell Beach California.
A set of playfully serious psychedelic hippie pop. Nice sounds and songs which apparently seem to function as practice for the soon to come main product, which was never released. This was their hasty sole one, making me think what the next one would have been like...This is quite satisfying anyway.
I like how they use organ and harmonica on "Section 43". The material is quite eclectic, maybe too eclectic for me. The best ones are "Section 43", "Bass Strings" and nice, psychedelic "Grace". Good album, but not that good.
A delicious, diverse and progressively flavored out of ordinary mixed bag! Especially side 2 is very interesting! Dream Weaver: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvYdn4WETp0
Nice and easy s-sw folk rock by Danish born American Flemming Rasmussen. All songs are written by the man himself. I'm not saying he is flaming on this album, but very warm, committed and authentic the music sounds anyway.
I got this for birthday present. There is a saying that one shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth. How would that work when concerning music...? Never review music that you have handseled? "Time Will Tell" is quite hard case in many meanings. People who have reviewed it on the web seem without exception to say it is psychedelic. I can hardly localize any psych elements on it. Mostly it is light, easily floating easy listening synth-pop. This kind of rare private press albums tend to grow some extra halo around, if there is a good story to tell with it. And this one has. It is how Justen disappeared after getting the record ready in 1978. He was told to be abducted by Ufo and taken away. The drummer Jake's knowledge was that Justen passed away. Jake didn't even like Justen's record, but skeet shot half of all the 1000 records. Justen was finally found around 1995 and second time in 2008 in a motel in Alaska by Douglas Mcgowan. There entire amusing story is written on the inside cover. After all i have to confess that i listen to this album willingly, but at the same time i understand that the possible cult status around it is rigged to create more interest around a quite mediocre synth-(jazz)lounge-pop record. If you like for example Donald Fagen's Nightfly or Gino Vanelli's The Gist of The Gemini, you may like this ok too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjVhYtUoWKI
The ugly and tasteless (butter free) front cover picked me up for 2 euros . I had not any bigger expectations when starting to listen to this, but... hey, this is tight funky horn rock near my taste. Of course Chicago comes to my mind first, but there are even some zappaish moments and vocalist Schuylar "Sky" Ford on some parts sings a bit like Czeslaw Niemen on "Behind The Wall". One could say he doesn't sing naturally, when trying too much, but i think it works anyway. Gotham is not a typical pure horn rock band but a tight funky jazz and rock band too. The band plays seamlessly together. Among the others there are some jazzy nice melodic almost Miles Davis style trumpet passages like "Window Pane". "Moon" after "Window Pane" is a short avant and stylish mess. "Moon" makes way for "They Made Me An Outlaw", which is an acoustic guitar driven melodic s-sw track. "Daddy Left Me Home" is bluesy a bit boring standard piece and without nice guitar lines "Talking About" would be that too. Too funky and fast "Getting High" does not get me very high. Gotham is eight professional musicians who have played for example with these: James Brown, Blues Magoos, Bo Didley, The Orchids, Asylum, Gas Mask, Young Rascalla, Woody Herman... Album was produced by Tom Wilson.
At Discogs this is characterized as psychedelic rock. Hmm... Quite nice light pop anyway. There's a lot more info behind this utube link: Light Of Love: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3qelN9px5Q
After the opening rock'n roll track this turns to be light late 60s pop with some light psych nuances. Not bad.
I don't often pick up film soundtracks, but Don Johnson on cover woke my interest. Didn't he by the way play drums in some band which name i can't recall just now? He is not playing drums on this but his first role in a long film as Stanley Sweetheart. Would like to see the film, the soundtrack is interesting and sounds good. Artists: Angeline Butler, Michael Greer (actor, a role on the film), Crow, David Lucas?, The Wheel?, Stilroc?, Bill Medley (Righteous Brother). It's a pity that Kathy Smith's "End of The World" from the complete soundtrack is not on the album.
