HOMEMADE LOFI PSYCH --- WHERE TO START?





"There is so much great music here..." WHERE TO START???

I recommend to
start with the HLFP-Samplers (especially HLFP 04).
Here you will come to know many of the bands/musicians featured in this blog. If you like what you hear, you may check out more of their music later on.
(You may also click on the picture on the sidebar and you will find the original post with download links.)

There is also a "FOCUS ON..." section. Here you will find albums that imo are absolutely great (***** = "five-stars-recordings") and that are essential listening and strongly recommended for download.


I TRY to RE-UP some stuff that has been down from time to

time, but I still don't have enough time to

listen to/post much new stuff.

Sorry!

IMPRESSUM: see here!

We're Late For Class -# 6 "Set The Controls For The Heart of The Sun..." (USA)


  • This is simply amazing! A classic "What if... situation". The title says it all: "Set The Controls For The Heart of The Sun" As Played By Vanilla Fudge Imitating Iron Butterfly When Fudge Were Forced To Open For Butterfly At The Fillmore West After In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida Went Top Ten". Ufff, well... That surely beats "Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in A Cave And Grooving With A Pict".
  • Quote from the WE'RE LATE FOR CLASS Blog "You're about to hear Vanilla Fudge making fun of Iron Butterfly at the Fillmore in the late 60s by playing a Pink Floyd space song..." This piece starts out quite harmlessly with the repetitous main riff of the PF song and then suddenly finds itself in outer space for about 22 minutes before returning to the main theme...
  • Check out the whole story of this far out recording at their great blog. There's lots of other cool stuff to find!
  • WE'RE LATE FOR CLASS is an all improvisational college band (doing also some cut & paste) with over a dozen rotating members! And they are offering all of their work to download for free. Surely an interesting concept. I'm certainly eager to hear more!

Good luck to all PC users trying to unzip this file. You will need to view inside the archive using Winrar and rename files and folders that have excessive ..... (periods) in the name. That is all the clue I can give you.

Hi frosty mug,
thanks for the info.
So shorter names in the future!

Just continuing my troll through the archives, commenting as I go. After hearing an excerpt of this on HLFP 01 and chuckling at the title for the umpteenth time, I just had to give this a shot. This here musical biscuit is funny and scary and does everything it says on the tin, except I have a hard time imagining any instrumentalist in Vanilla Fudge being this restrained, even while mocking Iron Butterfly! That being said, these lads have laser-beam awareness, acute funny-bones and a stash I'd love to raid. Shine on, you crazy dimebags.
