Thanks to a recommendation from @imalcolm I've been listening all week to Technicians Of The Sacred from the mighty #ozrictentacles.

I haven't listened to them in years - my last purchase of theirs was 1993's Jurassic Shift - but it's great to see they're still making great music.

Love – Love (1966, US)

As randomly chosen by survey[1] on Mastodon, our next spotlight is on number 1043 on The List, submitted by mark_ohe.

As I had mentioned in our last couple SpaceAce Sundays, after I had finished indexing The List, I discovered that, of the ~1035 albums we had thus far included, none had been released in 1966. When I tooted “was no one pressing records in 1966?”, some lovely Mastodonians promptly named 16 albums from that year that were worthy of adding to The List. This one, Love’s self-titled debut, is one such album.

And how! I was hooked by the music from track 1, a grin-inducing cover of Burt Bacharach’s “My Little Red Book” (a cover which fans of the film High Fidelity may recognize[2]). By the second track, I had to read more about the fabulous singer, Arthur Lee. And by the time I got to the amazing “Signed D.C.” in the middle of side 2, I realized I hadn’t been listening to the album loud enough, and had to restart the album. Given the album cover and that font, I did not expect essentially a proto-punk album. Love it! And if you give it a spin, I bet you’ll love Love’s Love too!

  1. The survey choices that initially led to this spotlight were “I’m not a human, I’m a dove”, “I’m your conscience, I am love”, “All I really need”, and “Is to know that you believe”, following surveys that had “I’m not a woman, I’m not a man”/“I am something that you’ll never understand”/“I’ll never beat you, I never lie”/“And if you’re evil I’ll forgive you by and by cuz”, “You, I would die 4 U, yeah”/”Darling, if you want me to”/”You, I would die 4 U”, “I’m not your lover, I’m not your friend”/“I am something that you’ll never comprehend”/“No need to worry, no need to cry”/“I’m your messiah and you’re the reason why” and “You’re just a sinner, I am told”/“Be your fire when you’re cold”/“Make you happy when you’re sad”/“Make you good when you are bad”. The second option was the winning selection, and so the survey result was translated as picking an album in The List that contained a word in the phrase – in this case, “love”. Usually that would mean I pick the second album in the list with the word, but since there’s a LOT of love in The List, I went with the one that had it twice. The weird thing is, when I was writing this spotlight, “When Doves Cry” came on. So, I think Prince approved of my choice. ↩︎
  2. Two other Love tracks appear in the movie, from their 1969 Four Sail album: “Always See Your Face” and “Your Friend and Mine”. ↩︎

Exposé Online

New #review today: "Here at Exposé, our first encounter with #AlanJenkins was with his band called The Thurston Lava Tube, which played experimental surf music. Jenkins has many other projects, including The Creams, The Deep Freeze Mice, and The #KetteringVampires. This group’s music is centered around #PsychedelicRock with a hefty dose of trippy experimentalism." #ExposeOnline #ExperimentalMusic expose.org/index.php/articles/
