ArkivetInterview with Mark SabolWe’ve been in contact with Mark Sabol of Mark and Suzann Farmer for over a year and finally we found the time to record an interview with him. Mark and Suzann Farmer recorded one album, We’ve Been There, in 1978, which is still pretty obscure among collectors. It is mostly known for the moody late-night version of Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams”, and although excellent, this album is far from a one-track-album and I’ve always considered that its true strength lies in Mark’s own compositions. About half of the songs are self-penned and Mark is a competent songwriter and...

In order to have a collector scene, context and coherency are key elements and Paul was one of the first to see the connections and to link private press and real people records to the canon of psychedelic music. Therefore, it is no surprise that many of the records he discovered are true classics and in this episode we play...

Also the highly acclaimed Kristyl album is worthy a mention, as it is not only a solid album but one of the true classics in the private press world and discovered already in the ´80s by the leg...

2018-03-2300 minArkivetWhat's the Concept?The concept album format really started to evolve during the psychedelic era of the late ‘60s, and reached its height in the progressive scene of the early ‘70s, where the album became the main artistic expression.

Folk music played an important role in the development of psychedelic rock and folk musicians were part of introducing psychedelics to mainstream popular culture in the mid-‘60s, which until then had only been known among “bohemian jetsetters” and academics. In this episode we play some favorite folk-psych acts from different parts of the world.

Paul started buying records when the psychedelic movement was at its peak in the late 60s, digging through the local K-mart’s dollar bins looking for anything that looked “psychedelic” and was able to pick up many rarities by today’s standard (e.g. Morgen, Easter Everywhere by The Elevators and The Moving Sidewalks).

This sub-genre of psychedelic music is to our minds strongly linked to major label and with that also a bigger production and more commercial appeal compared to many private press releases. We don’t consider this to be anything negative and there was a lot of creativity at work here as well and some great use of studio sound effects. The majority of the songs in today’s episode is major label artists but we also play a few...

This period still links to the mindset of the late 60s but without becoming retro. Today’s selection is a mixed bag of DIY and later-phase hippie music. Genres in this episode includes folk-rock, singer-songwriters, AOR, real people music and rural rock but each of the artist brings their personal artistic vision into the mix that expand beyond genres to create something truly unique. We have tried to avoid the more classic titles of the 80s psych scene to instead concentrate on...

We touch upon many subjects, such as the elusive and murky tax-scam business and discuss one of its top records, Stonewall.

The label was founded by the two New Yorkers Jim Ransom (now Jai Ram Ransom) and Laura Benson and became a pivotal part of the local Colorado folk scene. During the years 1973 to 1979 they released twenty-five albums in many different genres, including recordings by dulcimer and bluegrass bands, folk artists and singer-songwriters. In today’s episode we take a look at this seldom discussed label and dig out some of its treasures.

2016-04-1700 minArkivetEpisode 7, Acid Cowboys & Highway Hippies, Rural Psychedelia and Singer-SongwritersThe topic of today, rural aspects of psychedelic and singer-songwriter music, is very broad and here we loosely define rural as music that mediate a “countryside” feeling by drawing inspiration from roots genres like country and bluegrass or takes a nostalgic perspective, which is not always self-experienced, with topics of freight train drifting and the old west. The rural style is mainly related to the 1970s and usually has a laidback atmosphere, like a countryside retreat in the aftermath of the psychedelic heydays in the late ‘60s. Many favorites are included in the episode, from the Midwestern singer-songwriter duo Modlin...

Therefore, we've tried to pick the most haunting songs, which reflects the artists most dark and tortured feeling. Human suffering has always been an inspiration for great art and many of the artists in this episode made music for therapeutic reasons as a way to cure their troubled souls or as in the case with Bob Desper, to help others in their despair.

We have already dedicated one episode in season 1 to Midwest, in which we included some of the finest artists of the psychedelic era, e.g. Zerfas and Wizards From Kansas. This time we have chosen to focus on the late ‘70s psych and it’s going to be a lot of melodic guitars, rural vibes and stoned grooves in this episode.

2015-09-1300 minArkivetEpisode 4 - Dreamers, Unicorns and Tao-riders, Psychedelia of the 1980sIt's fascinating how the psychedelic ‘60s lingered on in the private/local recordings and how some artists continued on the psychedelic path long after mainstream popular culture had lost its interest. In this episode we highlight some of the fine psychedelic artists of the early 1980s, which is when many scholars consider the first psychedelic era to end. These artists are still part of the same psychedelic culture with a shared musical vision and aesthetics as earlier psychedelic artists but without any of the intentional revival and neo-psych moves that started to appear in the middle of the decade.

Rockadelic was founded by Mark Migliore in 1988 to release records by contemporary Dallas bands and after a few 7” releases Mark invited Rich to join him. Both of them were heavy collectors and during that time they got the idea of releasing older material. This development seemed to have happened by coincident as Rich tracked down members of the band Hickory Wind and...
2015-04-2600 minArkivetEpisode 3 - Eastern Everywhere, sitar psych and raga-rockEastern philosophy and religion became highly interlinked with the psychedelic culture in the '60s as comparisons between the psychedelic experience and religious concepts of higher mental states were made. Eastern practices, such as meditation were approached as alternative to psychedelics because the method can lead to similar mental awareness and for reaching higher mind stages. However, as noted by Patrick Lundborg that “the religious model is an interpretation, whereas the psychedelic experience, if registered according to proper phenomenology, is simply a description”* and these organized religions with their explanatory belief systems and traditions is not always the ideal model...

It’s striking how many quality artists that were signed by the Canadian offices of Columbia and Polydor, which expect for the artist in the episode, also released Fr...

Communal psych and the hippie rural movementIn this episode we're exploring some of the music that came out of the hippie communes in the early 70's. The communal living was nothing new but the 1970's saw an increase of new communes spread out in the countryside across the US and marks the start of the hippie rural movement, where the intense kaleidoscope colors of Height-Ashbury was replaced by a reconnection to nature and the more laid-back lifestyle of the 1970’s. The rural movement was partly a response to the decay of the hippie neighborhoods and the loss of spiritual clearness of the cities. Most of th...

In the mid 80’s a “psychedelic community” started to take form in Stockholm around Stefan and other musicians, writers and friends interested in psychedelic culture. Many of the musicians would also release their music on Subliminal Sounds (see part one of this interview).

The Christian sub-genre has some very desirable titles as many were privately pressed or released on custom labels with few copies made. The music covers the usual styles of the time, such as psychedelia, folk-rock and loner but with biblical or religious lyrics dealing with the loss of God in modern day society, the salvation through Christ and personal existential musings. Some of the bands were most likely on a missionary quest while many of the artists had a...

Many of the musicians in the underground groups would also form new bands and be a part of this movement throughout the 70s, until the era came to an end.

During the progressive period the bands started to incorporate other genres like jazz and funk to a larger extent, which created crossover genres like jazz-rock and fusion. Especially jazz-rock was very vital during this period with major bands like Manfred Mann’s Chapter Three, Keef Hartly Band and Traffic but what is also interesting is the mixing of upbeat more dance oriented music as heard in the two last songs in the episode (Hold On...

Instead of being influenced by the keyboard dominated sound of King Crimson and Yes many psych bands choose another path of development, adding heavier elements inspired by the guitar virtuosity of Jimi Hendrix and Cream. This eventually evolved into hard rock and heavy metal and in the US same development can be seen with bands like Iron Butterfly and Amboy Dukes. However, this was a slippery slope to take and accor...

The album is considered among many psych collectors as one of the best psychedelic albums of the 80s, right up there with Sixth Station and Johnny Blackburn & Mary Lauren. Together with LightDreams Paul Marcano did two more albums, 10,001 Dreams and Airbrushing Galaxies, that formed a suite of three albums on the concept of space colonization but the music contains as much inner as outer space exploration.

'60s/'70s British Psych and ProgMoving on with the UK underground scene and in this episode we are discussing the transition from psychedelic to progressive music. As the 60s came to an end the bands started to incorporate more progressive elements, which by the early 70s had developed into full-blown progressive rock with all its pretentious virtuosity and symphonic grandeur. This was a time when music development really accelerated and in this episode we will listen to bands like Arzachel and Pussy with one foot still in psychedelia to fully developed keyboard dominated progressive rock with Spring and Bodkin just a few years later...

In this first episode we are focusing on the early psychedelia scene in 1967-68. As with the pop cultural development in the US, psychedelia really becomes big in the UK around 1966-67 and many of the R&B and beat band would be turned on by psychedelia and completely transform their style during this period of time. The early British psychedelia is usually very pop oriented with strong emphasis on melodies but would soon develop into more heavy psych and progressive with more complex...

This time we take a look at some private press artists that didn’t make it on big important record companies. Time wise we have now moved from the early 70s in the previous episode to the late 70s and early 80s, although stylistically there is not much of a difference and not many influences from contemporary genres can be heard. This lag phase is common among private presses and ties together genres otherwise spread out in time. As with mai...

The term singer-songwriter came into use in the 1960s as a way to define the folk and protest singers, which had become popular, especially around Greenwich Village in New York. The genre is heavily influenced by the preceding folk singers of the 1940s and 50s but historically this way of performing music is much older. After Bob Dylan merged folk and rock, musicians started in the late 60s and early 70s...
