“Craig Leon revisits the extraterrestrial origins of civilization in Anthology of Interplanetary Folk Music Vol. 2: The Canon.

PROMO.

New release by an instrumental Italian 4tet of dual guitars, bass & drums, with some guests on violin, flute & sax. This has a kinda jammy - maybe even spacey - sound, & is maybe a bit reminiscent of Nekropsi crossed with Korai Orm. [Mellow]

"The '60s were filled with garage bands that could play up a storm covering other peoples' material, but the Lewallen Brothers made a sound that had the immediacy of those bands and the kind of polish that one associated more with the Byrds, the Beau Brummels, and the Zombies.

Some of it was a bit retro in its time ('What More Can I...
