_Return Journey_ is the killer, & although I'm not a great fan of _Reflector_ or _Libertine_ all their records are worth hearing.
All the old records are about to be reissued.

the lone Modern Art LP, All Aboard the Mind Train, is valuable for its glimpse of the glories to come, but it's too virginal, too unformed to recommend to any but the Gary Ramon die-hards.
if there's really another reissue of OWO in the offing, that would make five appearances (Tangerine original, UFO reissue, Acme reissue, Gallium Arsenide reissue, ...) of this album since its 1990 release! could this be a record for such a recent recording?

and if you choose to ignore my warning on this lukewarm sub-'gaze effort, at least seek out the first edition with the nifty mirrored sleeve. a nice thing to keep in the car for touch ups and other minor grooming concerns.

I'm under the impression that this latest reissue might well be the definitive version as it rounds up all the tracks that have been on the various versions & adds a few extras. Plus it's been 24 bit remastered for whatever that's worth. Perhaps I'll finally update my UFO version.

so i just purchased the "other way out" at amoeba on a whim and man this is really good. all those bjm apologists/lovers who think they were on the top of the 90's psych rock heap need to be directed to this record. also, they use the fuzzbox to maximum dividends on this, kinda reminds me of index from canada

NEW ALBUM NEW ALBUM NEW ALBUM!
It's self-titled "Sun Dial" and just came out this week. What I'm taking away from the two tracks up on MySpace is "hey, we've been doing what those stoner rock dudes do only we're better, heavier, and have a 15 year head start. fuck this let's go!"

Dear Gary, Sun Dial, everyone -
Look I know you specialize in only the finest psychedelic products and that for maximum effect you prefer only the finest plastic and vinyl material. But goddamn it, I'm on day whatever of situation critical insomnia. Discreet ambient nonsense isn't putting me to sleep so I seriously need to have my shit jacked up and my head pounded into a film of grey goo by HEAVY MONSTER RIFF DAMAGE. Want electronic download! Don't want to wait on international shipment of little pieces of plastic!

Dear Gary -
Thanks for heeding my call. $10 iTunes download much better than $25 import CD. Destruction of tectonic plates begin in 5... 4... 3...

Incoming!

Mentioned in the rolling psych thread, but in case you missed it there -- just discovered that a new album, Made in the Machine, came out last month. Most of the reviews I've found are in languages I don't understand but definitely looking forward to checking this out.
