FSOL - A Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble Exploding in Your Mind Vol.2
(BBC Radio 1) [radio mixes] (23-28.12.2001)
- bootleg / first official release 15.11.2008, currently unavailable
To explain something right away, the dates and the lengths are confusing, so:
Part 1 (Broadcast version): Paul Thomas's One World show on Radio 1 (28.12.2001)
Part 1 (Pod Room version): The version that appeared on The Pod Room in 2008 is different to the broadcast version.
Part 2: Annie Nightingale's show on Radio 1 (23.12.2001) (a 30 minute mix on Annie Nightingale's show, the full 42 minute set appeared on The Pod Room in 2008)
And now, you'd better give me a tap on the back, because
I Fucking nailed the MPB 2 broadcast!
Only 3 short pieces remain unknown, but not for long...
So, let's see what new psychedelic gems appeared here:
- Cymande - awesome British funk group formed in 1971 in London, England by musicians from Guyana, Jamaica and Saint Vincent.
- Roy Wood - English singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. He was particularly successful in the 1960s and 1970s as member and co-founder of the bands The Move, Electric Light Orchestra, and Wizzard. And he's just super weird!
- Gabriele Ducros - appears on Freedom Power, a rare Italian compilation of psychedelic funk.
- Ennio Morricone - the master himself, with a rare track from a Italian crime movie.
- Color Climax - Two man outfit from Coventry. Paul T is a former member of early 90's Hip Hop crew Unanimous Decision. Named after a Danish pornography company.
- Stomu Yamash'ta - Japanese percussionist, keyboardist and composer. He is best known for pioneering and popularizing the world music genre after blending traditional music with popular music in the 1960s and 1970s. He retired from music shortly after to become a monk.
- Mecki Mark Men - Lead by keyboardist and vocalist Mecki Bodemark, MECKI MARK MEN are considered one of the first big Swedish psychedelic acts.
- Valentin Mehler - mysterious dude who I can only find on a mixtape that David Holmes made in 2002.
- Swami Vivekananda - Indian Hindu monk and chief disciple of the 19th-century saint Ramakrishna. He was a key figure in the introduction of the Indian philosophies of Vedanta and Yoga to the Western world and is credited with raising interfaith awareness, bringing Hinduism to the status of a major world religion during the late 19th century.
- I Marc 4 - I Marc 4 were best known for their funky Italian soundtrack style.
