ENDLESS BOOGIE: Focus Level 2LP (No Quarter) - Endless Boogie is a band with an appropriate and self-descriptive name, if ever there was one. But this ain't your father's boogie, that of the ballrooms and dance halls of the late 60's and early 70's, this is a modern interpretation, with the simple, repetitive progressions of boogie, sure, but in a much more hi-gain, loose, punk rock vein.


SILVER SUMMIT: S/T CD (Language Of Stone) - To the list of amazing acid folk/psych projects emanating from the orbit of Greg Weeks and his Hexham Head Studios (Espers, Ex Reverie, Fern Knight, Mountain Home, etc.), you can add the name - Silver Summit. On their self-titled debut, the duo of Sondra Sun-Odeon and David Shawn Bosler, supported by a stellar cast (Greg Weeks, Gillian Chadwick, Margie Wienk, and so on), delivers 10 tracks of stunning crystalline acid folk and excellent psych stylings.


Hopefully, there will be a variety of opportunities for people in Northern California to see them in early September, during their upcoming West Coast tour!

NUDITY: The Nightfeeders 12” Single (Discourage Records) - Pretty cool 12" single from this new Portland, OR kraut/spacerock jam band. Two versions of a side-long piece called, "The Nightfeeders", with the B-Side version being a remix by Tim Green.


PIERCED ARROWS: Straight To The Heart LP (Tombstone) - The debut full-length from Fred and Toody's post-Dead Moon trio, Pierced Arrows. No big surprize that it contains 12 tracks of classic, raw, garage punk rave-ups! SF Bay Area locals can look forward to seeing them live soon at the Bottom of The Hill on Thursday, July 17.

BISHOP, ALAN AND RICHARD: The Brothers Unconnected - A Tribute To Charles Goucher & Sun City Girls CD (Abduction) - Tour Only CD. Excellent document of an excellent show/tour that paid tribute to a legendary group and their fallen comrade in sound, Charles Goucher.


FERN KNIGHT: S/T CD (VHF) - More killer acid folk and psych sounds from this mainstay of the vibrant contemporary Philly scene!


INDIAN JEWELRY: Free Gold! CD (We Are Free) - The latest from Indian Jewelry is a triumph, with an awesome mix of sounds, ranging from psychosludge to lo-fi, punkish, indie-rock, and even an neo-acid folk/pop leaning track or two.


SPECTRUM MEETS CAPTAIN MEMPHIS: Indian Giver CD (Birdman) - Certainly one of the more interesting, more Spacemen 3 sounding, and best releases from Sonic in quite a while. The tracks featuring legendary producer, Jim Dickinson (Big Star, Alex Chilton, The Replacements, Mudhoney, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, and so on), on vocals are also interesting, especially "The Lonesome Death of Johnny Ace".


ZEDEK, THALIA (BAND): Liars and Prayers LP (Thrill Jockey) - More touching, world worn ballads and rockers from this overlooked and underappreciated underground veteran and personal favorite.
