GOLD SOUNDZ: CALIFORNIA DREAMS IN STEREO

   

An all California mix with the exception of Little Joy, who named their group after the L.A. bar 'round the corner from where they recorded.

     Tunes range from olderly school to (pretty) new. The Electric Prunes get their Association on to kick things off all wistful and groovy. The Growlers skiffle thru the graveyard, while Kaleidoscope tastefully turn on. Pocahaunted drags dub into the garage and the Lions bring it back into Jah Selassie light. Jefferson Airplane's surrealistic swag or Dan the Automator's cine-o-scopic soundscape...? The Originals bust some hot tub funk and the aforementioned Little Joy go slightly Latin on a bitter sweet beach comber. A lost cut off the Red Hot Chile Peppers' '84 debut sounds like Berlin-period Eno. Fuck (the band)  do their best Echo and the Bunnymen riffs and the 3' O Clock's Day in Erotica gets stripped. Pastel Six finish off the ride with a swinging close-out.
