PSYCHEDELIC SOUNDS OF -

These guys represent the linking bridge between the two genres of garage punk and psychedelic. Did they invent the genre? Who knows - they did it best, plain and simple. The only other psyche album that gives it competition is "Piper at the Gates of Dawn" by Pink Floyd. Roky Erickson doesn't get enough credit, and doesn't get compared to Syd Barrett as much as he ought to. Both had massive drug problems that often brought the great visionaries down. I guess this doesn't happen that often because Roky's stuff is way more accessible. The Elevators also created the greatest breakup song ever, "You're Gonna Miss Me", put to good use in the movie "High Fidelity".

Roky Erickson, Tommy Hall, Stacy Sutherland, Benny Thurman and John Walton came together to form a band in the nexus of 1965 and 1966 in Austin, Texas. Their first meanderings were in Rock and Blues (thus the distinctive jug tooting that is their hallmark), but moved into totally new territory as drugs entered the picture.

Like their contemporaries the Airplane and the Dead, the experimentation with chemicals led to experimentation with music, sound and texture. Roky had already recorded his classic "You're Gonna Miss Me" with his former band the Spades, released on Leland Rogers' International Artists label, and that intro got the Elevators studio time for a complete album. Tommy and Roky had been writing furiously, and the songs they had been honing in the garage and in club and frat gigs emerged whole cloth as a completely new sound, one which profoundly influenced a generation of musicians.

Every song is a stone classic, every one covered by many other bands, but no recording comes close to the original by the Elevators. "Roller Coaster", "Reverberation", "Don't Fall Down", "Thru The Rhythm", "Monkey Island" and the incomparable "Splash 1" are just a few examples of the treasures on this album. Just imagine being a twelve or thirteen year old kid raised on Beatles, Kingston Trios, Dylans and Stones hearing this album for the first time: literally mind-blowing! Buy this and the seond album "Easter Everywhere", which is almost as great.

Tracks include: 1. You're Gonna Miss Me 2. Roller Coaster 3. Splash 1 4. Reverberation 5. Don't Fall Down 6. Fire Engine 7. Thru the Rhythm 8. You Don't Know (How Young You Are) 9. Kingdom of Heaven 10. Monkey Island 11. Tried to Hide
