However, if these songs were actually recorded in this | | millennium, they wouldn't be nearly so notable. Still awesome, don't | | get me wrong; just not as notable. This is actually a compilation of | | tunes recorded between 1973 and 1976. Much like Pentagram, the Kansas | | City power trio of Jeff Littrell, Paul Grigsby, and Terry Swope (see | | how they got the name?) never managed to secure a record deal during | | their initial run. They did, however, record their legacy on to some | | reel to reel tapes in someone's basement, which were later dug up and | | issued on several LPs in the 90s. Those versions were edited, though. | | This release contains the full insanity. | | | | These guys weren't really metal, per se. Possibly proto-metal. The | | band themselves have said that they don't consider themselves metal, | | but would take any attention that they can get. Besides, who else is | | going to listen to this stuff in this day and age besides metalheads | | (and acid casualties)? They drew heavily from Cream and Jimi Hendrix, | | with some Blue Cheer thrown in, but then they took it to the extreme | | via endless jams. Heavy, fuzzed-out grooves stretch into eternity, | | Terry Swope's non-Euclidean guitar work threatening to skid off the | | rails and into a whole new dimension. Don't expect song structure; | | these are improvisations, the sound of three friends enjoying each | | other's company and the interplay of their instruments. | | | | That isn't to say that these aren't distinct tunes, though. "It's Too | | Late" is probably the closest thing to a single here, with its | | touches of Blue Oyster Cult and Grand Funk Railroad. "Acid Acetate | | Excursion" fits its title perfectly, with loads of wah-wah pedal and | | distortion-soaked spirit journeying. The one where they really take | | off into the cosmos has to be "I've Been Waiting," which starts off | | like a low-key Led Zeppelin live cut and briefly pauses for a flute | | solo before Swope lights a fire under his guitar and it traces | | through the air like a firework. | | | | The JPT Scare Band predated Earthless and pretty much the rest of the | | Teepee roster by a few decades. Hell, if that label had been around | | in the mid-70s, these guys probably would have found a happy home | | there. Alas, they never had their moment in the sun back when they | | would have been hailed as the innovators that they were. They've been | | pretty active this decade, though, putting out a series of releases | | cataloging other basement recordings in addition to new material. So | | check out Sleeping Sickness; it's a long, strange trip, but it's an | | immensely satisfying one. | | | | | | YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TO BUY THIS SHIT IF YOU LIKE IT RIGHT?! | | | | | | . . | | |\/\/| | | |____| | |------------------------------=---=-======-=---=-------------------------| |===/\===============================SOUNDz==========================/\===| '--/__\--------------------------=-2013-2019-=----------------------/__\--'
