D.R. Hooker - The Truth

The Truth is.... this album is awesome, its actually one of my favorite personal discoveries from the the last couple of years. Originally released as a private pressing in 1972, never picked up by a record company and quickly forgotten, until some record collectors got their hands on this psychedelic masterpiece. It got traded and the records underground fame started to grow. Later it was rereleased on cd and vinyl and its now fairly easy to get hold of, check ebay. The music is groovy psychedelic rock with some great melodies and the fantastic voice of D.R Hooker. The album ends with a message played backwards: "Life is a mystery, of course it's true. Look for the answer, recorded clues". It seems like this is a "solo record" with hired musicians, D.R. Hooker released a follow up album with a new lineup in 1974, called Armageddon. If you are not able to enjoy the song Forge Your Own Chains, call a doctor, its something wrong with you.

D.R. Hooker passed away in january last year.

Btw, if you have D.R. Hooker - Rain on the Moon (1987) and want to share, please leave me a message in the commentfield. Thanks.

Enjoy

Sam Gopal - Escalator feat. Lemmy

I dont know so much abouth this record, so I decided to copy/paste the wikipedia article.

"Sam Gopal (also called Sam Gopal's Dream) is an underground British Psychedelic rock band.

The band is named after its founder, Sam Gopal, born in Malaysia. From the age of seven, he played tabla, a northern Indian percussion that replaced drums in the band.

On 28 April 1967, the band performed at The 14 Hour Technicolor Dream, a UK Underground event organised by the International Times at Alexandra Palace. The line-up was Sam Gopal, Mick Hutchinson and Pete Sears. Other performing bands included Pink Floyd, The Pretty Things, Savoy Brown, The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, Soft Machine, and The Move. Sam Gopal Dream played at the UFO Club, The Electric Garden in Covent Garden (later to become Middle Earth), The Roundhouse, and Happening 44. They later played the Christmas on Earth Show at Olympia in London with Traffic, Jimi Hendrix and Pink Floyd. Jimi Hendrix later sat in with the original Sam Gopal Dream at London's Speakeasy Club.

After the original band broke up in 1968, Sam formed a new line-up which included vocalist, Lemmy. He was a singer-guitarist with Sam Gopal, before becoming the bassist of Hawkwind and, in 1975, the founder, singer and bassist of Motörhead.

Sam Gopal's album Escalator was recorded in 1968."

Escaltor is one groovy album featuring the almighty Lemmy, so sit back and enjoy.
