Windy & Carl "Introspection"

Windy & Carl shouldn't need much of an introduction. If you do this is a great place to start. Excellent 3xcd comp of early singles, compilation tracks and live/unreleased songs.

Bardo Pond "Batholith"

Released early march 2008. Batholith is a collection of six tracks that are near and dear to Bardo Pond but, for some reason or another, have never previously been released. That one-sentence description might lead one to think that these tracks are "outtakes" or cutting-room floor type material - neither conclusion could be further from the truth. The tracks included on Batholith range from previous live staples ("a tune," one made 'famous' by opening Bardo's set at Terrastock II in San Francisco as joined by Roy Montgomery [and a recording of which was featured on the KFJC compilation Live From The Devil's Triangle, Volume 2]) to tracks the band recorded in John Peel sessions. Collected as a whole, these tracks form a fluid and cohesive album. Batholith is not just an exciting moment for long time Bardo Pond fans, but a great jumping on point for folks who are relatively new to their craft.

Released on vinyl by Three Lobed Recordings. Don't be a dick and support three lobed. They put out great music.

Harvester "Hemat"

This is the last bit of musical history that i own of these Swedish folks. Enjoy.

International Harvester "Sov Gott Rose-Marie"

Here is the transitional period between Parson Sound and Trad, Gras och Stenar. My favorite here is "I Mourn You". Originally released in 1969 on Love Records from Finland and was re-issued on CD by Silence Records in 2001.

Parson Sound "S/T"

Highly Recommended!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK, so here is the beginning of Trad, Gras och Stenar and Harvester/International Harvester. Said to be influenced by Terry Riley when he came to Stockholm. This is some serious minimal psych-drone-noise-rock. Incredible studio and live recordings from 1967/68.

Träd, Gräs och Stenar "Japan Tour 2007"

One more goodie from the Trees, Grass and Stone collective. Three live tracks from their Japanese tour with Acid Mothers Temple. Still sounding good over 30 years later.
