Released on the Sidewalk imprint of Tower Records,
manufactured by Capitol, this is an excellent '60s album from
a /American International motion picture, Psych Out.
There is only one track from 's , and their "Two Fingers Pointing on You" sounds
exactly like, you guessed it, "Pushin' Too Hard." The band made a career out of
reinventing that one tune, and they do not disappoint here, lifted from their
Future album on GNP Crescendo.
Although actually have a photo on the back cover,
they appear to be a vehicle for who is credited on
this /Susan Strasberg film for "Original Music and
Adaptation." The first tune on the disc is
by , written
by (). It sounds very much
like 's "Barefoot in Baltimore." "Rainy Day Mushroom
People" and "The World's on Fire," a three-minute-and-thirty-one-second version,
are 's other contributions to side one; these songs are
also on their album Incense & Peppermints. A longer version of "The World's
on Fire" ends side two of this soundtrack. In between is one song by a band
called . That tune lists five songwriters, but it is actually
a whacked-out version of 's "Purple Haze" with the stop
from 's "You Keep Me Hanging On." Very '60s and, actually,
quite fun, despite the fact the track is the weakest cut on this
surprisingly good disc. Four more tracks
by lead off side two. Titles like
"Psych-Out Sanctorum," "Beads of Innocence," "The Love Children," and
"Psych-Out" -- the third time the film title is used in the name of a song --
all sound like their titles suggest -- either clones
of or itself under an assumed name. The epic
eight-minute-plus version of "The World's on Fire"
by kicks in to end it all. Despite the
cheesey cover, this is a far more listenable record than, say, For Children of
All Ages by , and that was a band that took itself seriously. The genre
calls for a bit of irreverence. Psych Out delivers that with studied
enthusiasm.
1968 LP Released on Sidewalk Records # ST-5913 (Stereo).
