. . .sound like Hawkwind or AM i LISTENING TO THE ARSE-END of the genre ?

wHAT SHOULD i LISTEN TO ? is any of it great or is it just Budgie riffs + feedback - had to listen to some hurdy-gurdy toss at a students house today and begged her to stick on Stereophonics !!!!

I suspect Omar to now expand on his view on the new Boredom's record. ;-) Personally I would change to J-pop, Geordie. It is sure to transform you in an updated version of Linda Blair.

Ha! Who summoned me? Sorry Nathalie I'm feeling a bit lazy tonight so I'll leave it at a simple The sublime justifies itself. :) Still there's something so right about punks trying to fit the collected works of Can into one song...and getting it somehow right. As for Brazilian psychedelia, I hardly can't think of any music that sounds as free and beautiful as Os Mutantes.

While I'm no expert on Budgie or Hawkwind I'm sure even they are preferable to bloody Stereophonics.

While I am completely unfamiliar with the output of the Stereophonics, I would be extremely surprised if they turned out to be even fit to eat the droppings of Hawkwind or Budgie.

ARE YOU ARE DEAD RIGHT -jeep IS WORSE THAN i THOUGHT IT COULD BE !

The problem is that Japanese noise and Brazilian psychedelia sound nothing like one another.

Japanese free psych rock etc. etc. does quite possibly sound like Budgie riffs with feedback. Good thing too.

"Hurdy-Gurdy" toss? Surely not Keiji Haino's two solo excursions into the realm of hand-cranked droning, '21st Century Hard-y-Guide-y Man' (surely one of the worst alb titles of all time!) and the utterly sublime, 72 minute 'Even Now, Still I Think'? The Stereophonics aren't fit to carry his cloak!

Thanx Omar + co

Please don't diss keiji Haino. We need more of his genius. And plenty more japanese psychedelic rock.

if your typing style is any indication, you're listening to the ass- end of the genre.

seriously, though, point me to some brazilian stuff that sounds like hawkwind - most of it just sounds, oh, BRAZILIAN. with bits of american and UK psych-pop mixed in. dig up gal costa's self-titled album (the one with "tuareg" and "cinema olympia" on it), gilberto gil's "cerebro eletronico", or caetano veloso's _araca azul_ and tell me they sound like hawkwind. oh, you'll fucking hate them, pal, but they don't sound anything like hawkwind.

and since when did hurdy gurdy sound like budgie?

as for japanese stuff, go buy fushitsusha's first double CD. then, when you decide you hate that, too, sell it to me 'cause i need it and don't want to pay $38 for it. thanks.

two years pass...

While Hawkwind is certainly an influence on the Japanese noise scene, they are only one of many influences. Krautrock (in general) and Gong also seem to have had an effect, to say nothing of various purveyors of guitar pyrotechnics like Jimi Hendrix, Leigh Stephens, Randy Holden, High Tide, and Savage Resurrection. Brazilian psych sounds nothing like Japanese noise (or Japanese psych, for that matter), so the pretext of the whole thing escapes me. Los Mutantes sound like Syd Barrett at a limbo contest - but in a good way...

Funny, I've just been getting into noise and then discovered Os Mutantes via a completely unrelated source but they fit together really well for me.

what could possibly be wrong with something sounding a lot like hawkwind?

― peter smith (plsmith), Thursday, 20 January 2005 21:07 (nineteen years ago) link

Tom Ze's not so "psych" in the subgeneric sense, but pretty trippy. Not like Hawkwind(although that would be okay), and neither is Ghost's mostly excellent (past the first track) HYPNOTIC UNDERWORLD.Although there might be some Hawkwind somewhere that sounds like some Ghost somewhere (it seems possible).
