Sun City Girls - OPO

Yeah, it's 22 minutes. but it's ONE 22 minute song and therefore qualifies. ha... HA... MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

since i'm way more into their faux-psych moments (and really dislike the vocals, generally), i'll choose 'cineria blue' from "330,003 crossdressers from beyond the RIG veda." the swirling, the swirling!

"torch of the mystics" - am i the only one who finds this album substandard and irritating? "libyan dream" actually seems like a much better example of that period of their development. selling my copy soon anyway.

runner-ups: "The Fine-Tuned Machines of Lemuria" and "A Secret Revealed Unwittingly," which still gives me the heebie-jeebies.

and the Salvador Kali record, of course, slays everything

that CFR disc with "my friend rain" (sumatran electric chair) is really pretty amazing.

(runner up, "Space Prophet Dogon"; ynf you're nuts)

if only it was a vinyl copy, i could sell it, buy a house and retire.

Or "C.C.C."

Man, 330003 Crossdressers is an amazing record.

for an album - 330,003 crossdressers.

I sold Crossdressers and Dante's Infernoland...there's good stuff in there but I needed the cash. Ripped to iTunes, of course.

Love their Batman cover:

My SCG completist coworker just picked up a Brothers Unconnected 2lp of a gig from Europe.

I still have to pick up Singles vol. 2. If for no other reason than to encourage Vol. 3 to happen (which presumably will have Eye Mohini and Borungku on it)

I was gonna revive a SCG thread to mention that Brothers Unconnected 2LP, it should be showing up in my mailbox any day now.

Singles 2 is, um... not as strong as Vol. 1. A couple of nice unreleased tracks though. STILL missing some of the "Three Fake Female Orgasms" 2x7", part of it was on Vol. 1.

Got Singles Vol. 3 yesterday-- the volume we've all been waiting for.

The material from the Eye Mohini and Borungku Si Derita singles is mastered from vinyl, which I guess isn't super surprising. And it's fine for the most part, except that the high lonesome singing on both of those title tracks fries up some serious sizzlin' bacon as a result. Which was also true of the vinyl rips I pulled off the web years ago but I was hoping not to hear it here. Mohini's B-side (an astonishing take of all-timer "Kal el Lazi Kad Ham") sounds great. There were three songs squeezed on the A-Side, maybe that's why it sounds so sizzly.

The original version of "Kickin' the Dragon" sounds FANTASTIC and not sourced from vinyl. The bonus live take of "The Flower" is amazing.

I've been listening to vol.1. Real corker.

If you can put up with certain idiosyncrasies, non-fans

yeah both v1 and v3 are essential purchases. v3 as much so as Torch of the Mystics or 330,003 Crossdressers.

I finally bit the bullet on the Brothers Unconnected 2 LP and boy was it worth it. If you attended any of these shows it's an amazing document and I consider it "essential" within the sprawling SCG canon as a snapshot of the very special atmosphere Rick & Alan brought to those shows. I've been playing it non-stop and I think it would even make a good intro to SCG.

It was an amazing show to be at, pretty goddamn emotional. I have the CD version they were selling at those dates: is the 2LP longer than that?

It is a recording of a show from the tour, I believe.

it's from a later tour (2011?) in Germany, and yeah it rules.

Check this out

Man, wtf? I just paid $38.00 for that Unrock 2 LP.

alvarius b version of "cooking with satan" FTW

Buy low, sell high
A centipede between the eyes
Looking hungry at the flock
Spill the blood, improve the stock

White trash riverboat Tom Sawyer
He tried to sue my voodoo lawyer
I held him up bringin' home his bacon
and I cooked it lean in the kitchen with Satan

And him and me with our brackish frowns
Dressin' down, sleaze broker town
We moved 'em out, we took 'em down
We're dressin' down with a cell phone
Answerin' calls, this cookin' pays
Gimme a call, 1-800-FUCKIN-A

I'll put you in a cardboard box
Slip you out into the rocks
Sit back and watch your momma pray
'Cause fuckin' maggot you're in the way

Buy low, sell high.....

most badass lyrics but the performance on the alvarius b version is so raw

Been listening to that singles vol 3 compi for the last week. Hadn't really heard how good the guitar was before. Maybe it's just more warped/sloppy on Torch of the Mystics?

if you wanna hear good guitar then check out...
