Mushroom – Glazed Popems 2 discs of long, lush old-school early 70s psychedelic folk-funk jams. There’s plenty of vintage electronics and long guitar solos here, but their beautiful production (especially on the first disc) makes it sound like you’ve picked up a futuristic record from 1972 (um, that's a compliment). Like most double-disc sets, there’s a few duds, disc 2 especially, but hey.. that just gives you a chance to repack the bong without missing the good stuff. Disc 1: **1. Starts with slow tribal drums, layers gradually build up as the rest of the band enters and the slinky groove starts. Worth the wait! 2. Slow and spacey guitar **3. Dark jangly guitar riff with nice flute 4. Breathy and slow *5. Lava lamp slinky groove 6. Noodly guitar and electric piano **7. Rumbling, scraping groove 8. Noisy chatter 9. Pretty flute excerpt Disc 2: *1. Nasty slow funk, starts getting moody halfway in then builds back up *2. Playful melodic percussion & electronics **3. Driving groove *4. Mournful slow blues 5. Loungey relaxed feel 6. Slow proggy noodling, starts to build momentum at the end 7. Slow sax solo 8. Sloppy wah-funk jam Ben B 10/14/04 |
