“Their music is one of the most loosely arranged happy-hippy-rock, very “jammy” as well as being very jazz-tinged also. Their average tune was 20 min long.”
Cream – Sun Vanishes (1999)
Heaviest and trippiest Cream live album recorded October 15th, 1967 on Grande Ballroom, Detroit. Lots of feedback and solos. Freak Out!
Food Brain – Social Gathering (1970)
Social Gathering by Food Brain is a 1970 one-off jam record by a Japanese psych/prog “supergroup” consisting of guitarist Shinki Chen (Speed, Glue & Shinki), bassist Luis Kabe (The Golden Cups), organist Hiro Yanagida (Apryl Fool), and drummer Hiro Tsunada (Strawberry Path).”
High Speed & The Afflicted Man – Get Stoned Ezy (1982)
“Too freaked out for punks, too punked out for freaks, ‘Get Stoned Ezy’ is a bloodbath of pedal stomping carnage.”
Hills – Master Sleeps (2011)
“Hills formed as a 3-piece aiming to make music that focuses on the groove/sounds and rhythm instead of the lyrics/message and classical songwriting structures. To create a meditative space heavily dependent on improvisation. To create a feeling but not necessarily to explain it through words. Influenced by everything from the early experimentation of John Coltrane via the repetitiveness of Velvet Underground, Krautrock / Psych in general and the grimness of early black/ death metal bands such as Hellhammer and punk. Hills try to keep it honest, analog and raw in the very best way they can.”
Gila – Gila (1971)
“Instrumental improv spacerock extravaganza that can stand proudly alongside better-known works by Ash Ra Tempel, Pink Floyd or Amon Düül II… Gila could jam out the blues with the best of them, but they never found the success that eluded them.”
Dark – The Jam 1975 (2001)
Psychedelic jam by English psychedelic rock band Dark recorded in a basement in 1975.
Shiver – San Francisco’s Shiver (2000)
“Basically, San Francisco’s Shiver were a bunch of hard-rocking hippie freaks, brought together by a Texas-bred drummer who moved to San Francisco to take up where his obvious heroes Blue Cheer left off… Shiver played “heavy psychedelic rock” at its most primal — no overdubs, raw as hell.”
Jokers – Jokers (2011)
“Hailing from Tehran, Iran, the JOKERS were arguably Iran’s heaviest underground rock group during the early 70’s. Having visited the UK for a short period, Vaheed, the lead singer and guitarist of JOKERS returned to Iran with new ideas and influences. After hearing groups like MC 5 & Cream, the JOKERS decided to pursue this type of sound, and subsequently recorded a heavy psychedelic blues album in a garage circa 1972 using nothing more then a reel to reel and two microphones. Filled with heavy fuzz, loud wah guitars and screaming vocals, the album sounds unlike any rock artifact unearthed from Iran so far.”
Zodiacs – Gone (2007)
“Full of l-o-n-g jams that bring to mind such wild ones as German Oak, Magic Muscle and foggy dreams of The Stooges moonlighting as a Hawkwind tribute band during the off season. Zodiacs burn a heavy trail to the days when outlaw biker clubs roasted and consumed whole horses in celebration of the wild life.”
