BANDA QUE APESAR DE TER GRAVADO UM SÓ DISCO MOSTRAVA MUITA MADURIDADE, MAS NO ENTANTO, ESTRANHAMENTE NUNCA É LISTADA QUANDO SE FALA EM BANDAS DA FAMOSA ERA "SUNSET STRIP" COMO DOORS, LOVE, BYRDS, SEEDS E OUTRAS TANTAS!!

Fantastic record, excellent raw psych soul blues LP from start to end!! One of the truly unsung groups of the ‘60’s Sunset Strip era, Smokestack Lightnin’ was something of a house band at the Whiskey A-Go-Go (as well as at the Cheetah), recorded several strong singles, worked with Bones Howe, recorded an Lp and made a film appearance. However, they are rarely mentioned along with the Doors, Seeds, Love, or Byrds when the top bands of the Strip are listed!!

RUMPLE STILZKEN COMUNE - Wrong From The Beginning (1977 Swiss Progressive Rock)



UM BOM VENENO E UM ALBUM RARO QUE LEVOU QUASE DOIS ANOS PARA SER PRODUZIDO, VISTO QUE OS REGISTROS ORIGINAIS E AS MASTER TAPES TEVE MUITOS ERROS E AÍ PRECISOU UMA REMASTERIZAÇÃO COMPLETA E MINUCIOSA PARA "LIMPAR" AS GRAVAÇÕES!! A GRAVADORA "BLACK RECORDS" NOS ULTIMOS ANOS ANDOU DESENTERRANDO ALGUMAS BOAS JÓIAS RARAS PROGRESSISTAS DA ÉPOCA E ESSA É MAIS UMA DELAS QUE FICOU BEM LEGAL!! OS VELHOS ERROS DESAPARECERAM!! LEVOU TEMPO E O TRABALHO DESSES ENGENHEIROS DE SOM FOI PERFEITO E TUDO ESTÁ AÍ AGORA PRA NÓS CURTIRMOS!! A SONORIDADE É MUITO LEGAL!! PROGRESSIVE ROCK COM VARIAÇÕES BEM LEGAIS!! BOM E RARO VENENO!!

A fantastic album, comparable with Van der Graaf Generator. One of the rarest Swiss records ever. Rumple Stilzken Komune derrived from the border town Chiasso, it's a Swiss-Italian band. Work on this release took now nearly two years caused by several reasons. The original records as well as the mastertapes had many mistakes, a full remix of the mastertapes was therefore necessary for getting something realy great. Then, as we thought that everything is ready the piano-solos recorded at that time separately in Milano where missed on the mastertapes. Search for tapes had to start again. All in all you can say engineer Bob Katz is a man who would like to supply perfect sound. In addition keyboarder Claudio Zaniolo (piano tuner is his profession) is also a perfectionist. Result of all that took some time, but what you will get is now simply the best Black Rills release ever. Soundquality is excellent and all old mistakes dissapeared, what means all synphonic elementes which where quite difficult to hear on the original records are now there where they should be. It's perfect now. Maybe it took some time to wait - but result is probably above everything you could expect..

THUNDER & ROSES - King Of The Black Sunrise (1969 US Hard Psych Blues Rock)


VENENASSO DE UM POWER TRIO AMERICANO QUE NOS APRESENTA UM SOM COM SONORIDADE PESADA, ALGUMAS BALADAS E UMA MISTURA IMPRESSIONANTE DE HARD, ACID, PSYCH, BLUES E GARAGEM!! ÓTIMO E RECOMENDADO VENENO!! 

‘A Hendrix-influenced heavy psychedelic trio from Philadelphia, who even managed a pretty decent cover of Red House’ – Fuzz, Acid & Flowers A hard rock power trio who pay their respects to Hendrix with a strong version of Red House, then lay waste with a blitzkrieg of  superb heavy psychedelic guitar… Like Led Zeppelin, they never let the blues influences swamp the rock’ – Endless Trip.

In the wake of the Jimi Hendrix Experience, a large number of psychedelic heavy rock three-pieces formed. The explosive Thunder & Roses were one of the best. Consisting of singer / guitarist Chris Bond, bassist Tom Schaffer and drummer George Emme, they hailed from Philadelphia and issued only one album, which originally appeared in July 1969 and makes its long-overdue CD debut here.

FALLEN ANGELS - It's a Long Way Down (1968 USA West Coast Psych)



HIGH RARE POISON!! VENENO RARÍSSIMO!! ESTE É O SEGUNDO LP DESTA ÓTIMA E OBSCURA BANDA AMERICANA QUE TINHA UMA SONORIDADE PECULIAR DAS BOAS BANDAS DA COSTA OESTE AMERICANA, BEM AO ESTILO DE MANDRAKE MEMORIAL E COMMON PEOPLE!! VENENO QUE VALE A PENA CONFERIR!! PSICODELIA COM ARRANJOS BEM LEGAIS,  BEM TRABALHADOS, TRANQÜILOS, COM BONS RIFFS DE GUITARRAS, VIOLÃO ACÚSTICO E UM ORGAN HAMMOND COMPETENTE FAZENDO A BASE!!! BOM  VENENO!!

The second LP is one of the ultimate examples of the East Coast psych sound; moody, intricate, with a peculiar intensity. A long time favorite of late 60s collectors and no wonder as it has the makings of a masterpiece. Hard to pinpoint really, but some parts are like a high-brow Common People, others like a folkrock Mandrake Memorial. Arrangements and songwriting are most impressive, with "A Horn Playing On My Thin Wall" being a personal favorite. Often compared to the equally rare Morning Dew LP but this is deeper and more original. The Sgt Pepper of DC, though of course much better! A German original pressing exists. (lysergia)


1. Poor Old Man (3:45)
2. A Horn Playng On My Thin Wall (4:23)
3. Something New You Can Hide In (3:59)

BUZZSAW - From Lemon Drops To Acid Rock (1969-71 US Acid Rock Psych)


VENENO RARÍSSIMO E ACIDO!! A BANDA LEMON DROPS FOI UMA TÍPICA BANDA DE GARAGEM DE CHICAGO E QUANDO A BANDA SE SEPAROU EM 1969 TRÊS DE SEUS MEMBROS CONTINUARAM A SAGA COM O NOME DE BUZZSAW!! JUNTAMENTE COM O NOME A SONORIDADE TAMBÉM SOFREU ALTERAÇÕES PARA UM ROCK ACIDO, PSICODÉLICO E POR CERTAS VEZES PESADO, INTENSO E POR VEZES CALMO QUE NEM O SOPRO DO VENTO!! 

From Chicago, Buzzsaw were a short-lived acid rock trio who were formed in 1970. Eddie and Gary Weiss had earlier been in the reknowned The Lemon Drops, and Watermelon, and in fact Buzzsaw are best known for a version of The Lemon Drops' classic I Live In The Springtime. The liner notes to Collectables Chicago Garage Band Greats - The Best Of Rembrandt Records 1966-1968 reveal that this was in fact the same recording as the earlier The Lemon Drops, but in a previously unreleased stereo mix. 

Between 1966-1968 the Lemon Drops were a typical three-chord garage band from Chicago. When the Lemon Drops broke up in 1969, three former members became Buzzsaw and began dipping into the heavy rock of power trios like the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Cream, and especially Blue Cheer. Buzzsaw's sound caught between their garage band roots and their burgeoning acid rock influence, not doing either form justice. Cuts emphasizing cosmic enlightenment like "Saturn Jam" and "Saturn Is Just a Few Days Away" have nothing in common with the truly cosmic themes composed by Sun Ra. This is mainly for acid rock collectors and archivists. ~ Al Campbell

REPOST: Monument - The First Monument (1971 UK Heavy Prog)


VENENO RARÍSSIMO DESSA BANDA OBSCURA, CUJOS INTEGRANTES ERAM TODOS DA BANDA ZIOR!! A HISTÓRIA DA FORMAÇÃO DA BANDA E DAGRAVAÇÃO DESSE ALBUM É BIZARRA, POIS SE DEU NUMA NOITADA DOS QUATRO INTEGRANTES DA ZIOR REGADA A MUITO ÁLCOOL E DROGAS!! OU SEJA, TOTALMENTE CHAPADOS, E ISSO SE NOTA NA SONORIDADE DO DISCO QUE É UM HARD PROGRESSIVO, MAS COM MUITAS M UDANÇAS DE TEMPO NAS CANÇÕES, MISCELÂNEA DE RITMOS E TALVEZ POR ISSO A SONORIDADE É UMA MISCELÂNEA COM MUDANÇAS DE TEMPO, ESTILOS BEM DIFERENTES, PROGRESSIVO MISTICO, HINOS AO OCULTISMO...!! O ORGAN HAMMOND TRABALHA PESADO POR AQUI!! ESSA É A ULTIMA APARIÇÃO DA BANDA ZIOR COM OUTRO NOME E SÓ POR ISSO JÁ É MOTIVO PRA DAR UM TÉKINHO NESSE VENENO!!

This was a rather mystical progressive album, which is now rare and sought-after by collectors. All four of those listed above were members of Zior and the album was the result of a drunken all-night jam session, which is probably why its such a mish-mash of tempo changes and different styles. The members of the already-excellent ZIOR congregate for a one-shot, drug-and-drink-fuelled luciferian mass, soundtracked by hypnotizing, hammond-adorned, catechismic dark prog hymns. better than anything ZIOR ever did and one of the real gems of dark british prog.

Freelight - Wave Of Great Change (1995 Prog Folk Psych)



VENENO RARO E DE EFEITO SOFT TRIP!!
ESSE ALBUM CONTA COM "MICHAEL PINDER", UM DOS FUNDADORES DA BANDA "THE MOODY BLUES", E AINDA COM "BERNIE LEADON" E "DON FELDER", FUNDADORES DA BANDA "THE EAGLES"!! A SONORIDADE SOA UM POUCO COMO MOODY BLUES, MAS, COMO "STEPHEN FREELIGHT" É AMERICANO, COMO TAL ELE TEM CARACTERÍSTICAS MUSICAIS AMERICANAS, POR ISSO A SONORIDADE DO ALBUM NO GERAL É WEST COAST DA AREA DE SAN FRANCISCO, MISTURANDO FOLK PROG ROCK COM PITADAS SUTIS DA PSICODELIA NUM ALBUM BOM DE ESCUTAR COM MELODIAS HARMONIOSAS E MUITO BEM ARRANJADAS COM FLAUTAS, VIOLÕES E UM CLIMA BEM FREELIGHT!! VENENO RARO E RECOMENDADO PARA UMA VIAGEM BEM TRANQUILA!!

This album features the founding member of two supergroups: The Moody Blues and The Eagles. "Wave Of Great Change" was produced by Michael Pinder of The Moody Blues and features Bernie Leadon and also Don Felder of The Eagles. The sound can easily be described as Michael Pinder's missing 9th Symphony. In the mystically woven style of The Moody Blues' "Seven Sojourns", Wave Of Great Change is a concept album. But, Stephen Freelight is a American artist with American music taste. Wave Of Great Change has a positive message and we are confident that you will enjoy the journey. We are very proud to introduce Stephen Freelight, the mysterious conduit between English rocker Michael Pinder and Country rocker Bernie Leadon.

Obscure theatrical psych rock band from Ohio. Weird costumes,heavy guitar riffs,male/fem vox,strange poetic vocal interludes. Very cool record. They Use Loads Of Different Instruments And Non Musical Items. Picking up similarly from where their first album left off, this one also contains some quality hard rock, this time featuring female vocals. The sound is sort of like what you might expect a hard rock version of The Jefferson Airplane to sound like. Great (late 60's/early 70's) period flavor.

REPOST: Landslide - Two Sided Fantasy (1972 US Hard Rock Acid Bluesy)



VENENO AMERICANO ESQUECIDO E RELEGADO A UM SEGUNDO PLANO PELA CAPITOL RECORDS QUE NA ÉPOCA TINHA CONTRATOS LUCRATIVOS FIRMADOS COM BANDAS COMO GRAND FUNK RAILROAD E OUTROS!! POUCA INFORMAÇÃO TEMOS SOBRE A BANDA A NÃO SER O QUE TEM NO ENCARTE DO DISCO!! OS CARAS ERAM DE LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK!!

VENENO RARÍSSIMO E ALTAMENTE RECOMENDADO!! NÃO CONSUMA COM MODERAÇÃO!!

Thought to have been a New York bunch, they don't appear to have released any 45s for Capitol, but their album is an undiscovered gem. Kicking off with ‘Do What I Want’ which featured slick rhythms and fine guitar, a high standard is set and equalled by ‘Creepy Feeling’ and the Johnny Winter-influenced ‘Everybody Knowns (Slippin)’, with its gruff vocals and fine guitar interplay. ‘Dream Novel’ rounds off side one with some simply exquisite guitar work. Perhaps the album's finest moment is ‘Happy’, the closing track, which builds into an amazing climax. Recommended. (Fuzz, Acid & Flowers)

Keyboard player and vocalist John Morgan was a Graham Bond afficianado who turned toward psychedelia as the 1960's wore on. Billed originally as The Spirit of John Morgan, the band was successful enough to get booked into the Marquee and other top clubs, and cut three albums. Their self-titled debut into 1969 was followed by two more LPs in 1970 and 1972 (credited simply to John Morgan) for the Carnaby label. He also cut a single for British RCA in the early 1970's. ~ Bruce Eder, All Music Guide

After countless evenings and nights in front of, and around, their local bar. After heeps of loud discussions and intense arguments on how everything just sounded so much better before - these guys felt the time was right to take matters into their own hands. These Scandinavians – part swede, part Norwegian - subscribe to the Witchcraft school of throwback hard rock. Inspiration is drawn from amongst others: Blue Cheer, Sabbath, Pentagram and Grand Funk Railroad. In other words: butterfingered, groovy and psychedelic hard rock! In 2008 Brutus recorded a demo/EP for their own amusement. It didn't take long before you could read about the result in some of the biggest European magazines like Metal Hammer UK (one of 5 bands under "future stars"), Metal Hammer Greece, Close-Up Magazine (band of the week), Denimzine, and others. Summer 2009 Brutus took the ride to Gothenburg to record the debut album. 11 days & 11 nights at Music-A-Matic Studio (Hellacopters, Sator, Soundtrack Of Our Lives, DAD, Millencolin, Nomads and more) with super producer and engineer Henryk Lipp and Micke Nilsson. 8 tracks was put on tape and ready to be send out to labels and for promotion.

In 2010 the debut album came out on the on legendary Swedish label Transubstans Records. The respond was awesome. UK´s Metall Hammer gave the album 8/10, Greece Metal Temple 9/10. The band played at the retro festival Muskelrock in Sweden and got great reviews in Swedish newspapers and even Angel Witch and Electric Wizard became Brutus fans. Also played in Germany, England, Denmark and more shows in Sweden. 2011 Brutus will continue to tour and release records. First the debut album wil be out on LP on the Finnish label Svart Records. A split 10" with Graviators wil be out on Transubstans. Also a split Pentagram tribute 7". Followed up with a new records late 2011!

Limited edition of 500 numbered copies!! "Team Dokus was formed in 1968 after I had been squeezed out of another one-LP blues/progressive /rock super(?)group called Room (the Deram release Pre-Flight).  Mysterious and menacing 1971 acetate-only album from underground rockers. The album was recorded by Team Dokus in 1971 for the Sphere record label, a subsidiary of CBS. On the day of the recording, both Terry and I were suffering from one of the worst bouts of fluin our lives, and were only there because of the drugs and rum that the others had pumped into us. On top of that, we had played the Temple in Wardour Street the night before (and blown Nazareth off stage), and were going on to play Potters Bar Youth Club with Genesis (early days) the next night. That's explains why the vocals on the recording are so bad. They were meant to have been re-recorded later but it never happened. Team Dokus split shortly after recording the album, which is why I guess it wasn't released at the time." - Information regarding Team Dokus from founder member Roger Hope…

Exit - Exit (1975 Swiss Prog Hard Rock)



ALTÍSSIMA RARIDADE!!
VERY HIGH RARITY!!
EXCLUSIVIDADE DO BLOG VENENOS DO ROCK O ALBUM DESSA BOA BANDA SUIÇA E OBSCURA MISTURAVA ESTILOS DE ROCK PROGRESSIVO E HARD ROCK COM LONGAS FAIXAS QUE LEMBRAM PINK FLOYD, TECLADO CARREGADO E COM CORAIS AO FUNDO!! NÃO SE TEM MUITA INFORMAÇÃO SOBRE A BANDA A NÃO SER ESSE DISCO QUE FOI LANÇADO COMO UMA EDIÇÃO PRIVADA, OU SEJA, UMA EDIÇÃO LIMITADA E QUE FOI FORMADO EM 1972!! A BANDA TAMBÉM EXCURSIONOU COM A "BIRTH CONTROL" E DEPOSI DISSO RESOLVEU GRAVAR UM DISCO PARA SEUS ADMIRADORES FORMADOS DURANTES ESSA TOUR!! A GRAVAÇÃO DO DISCO FOI FEITA PRATICAMENTE SEM NENHUM ORÇAMENTO O QUE FORÇOU OS CARAS A GRAVAR COM UMA REVOX-2 DE DOIS CANAIS, O QUE FICOU LEGAL, POIS ASSIM O SOM DOS CARAS FICOU REALMENTE CRUA E SEM TRUQUES DE ESTÚDIO!!

An obscure 70's Swiss band, with a varied blend of progressive and hard-rock styles. Nothing is known about them except for one LP that was privately issued in the mid-70's.
The formation of Swiss rock band Exit dates back to the year 1972. The breakout came during a tour with the band Birth Control and the band from Frauenfeld decided to produce an LP for its devoted fan club. As there was practically no budget for production and almost no digital studios existing, Exit recorded in the MS studio in Dietikon with two revox 2-track machines. So all the music was really played without tricks! Their style is special: long tracks remaining to Pink Floyd, keyboard loaded with additional characteristic choir singing and a very fresh garage edge. It’s a document of a unique combination of krautrock and joy.
