Malachi biography:
Malachi is a free rockin' eastern trip from late 60's San Francisco underground. This musical project was founded by the folkish guitarist John Morgan Newbern. Their album Holy Music is considered to be among the first and finnest psych-folk rock efforts featuring intense buzzing raga ornamentations. Absolutely cult mantric rock album.
"Malachi's music transcends the traditions of East and West, and represents the new synthesis which is still being worked out in aesthetics, philosophy and religion by those participating in the psychedelic revolution."
John Morgan Newbern adopted the name MALACHI for the single album he recorded way back on August 17th, 1966 in Flower Child, San Francisco. His adopted name was taken from the Jewish prophet in the Hebrew Bible, and thus his sole album HOLY MUSIC is one of the very first truly psychedelic albums that was designed to evoke the spiritual, that is to melt the boundaries between the mundane and profound. What's notable about this release is that it is an example of early world music fusion that eschewed the pop world all together and created something that would satisfy the most blissed out sunshine child of the 60s looking for something beyond Jefferson Airplane. creditseleased July 1, 1981 All music by Storm Bugs, sleeve design by Yann Farcy of L'invitation au Suicide
