Ant Trip Ceremony ~ 24 Hours
Released in 1968 by a group of Oberlin College students and pressed in very limited numbers (i.e. 500 copies), 24 Hours is a blend of folk, blues, jazz and eastern psychedelia. Songs on the album explode with originality, with meditative pieces like Pale Shades Of Gray and it's eerily beautiful melody or Elaborations, a lengthy raga-ish instrumental with some very effective flute. Just one look at the tripped out psychedelic cover is enough to guarantee that the music contained within the confines of this album is a mind blowing artifact of the 60's counterculture.
Art ~ Supernatural Fairy Tales 1967
Supernatural Fairy Tales is the only LP by Art, a re-named band formerly known as The V.I.P.'s. The album contains mostly band compositions plus a cover of The Young Rascals' "Come on Up" and Buffalo Springfield's "For What It's Worth".
All members of Art sooner or later met again in Spooky Tooth.
