Conception
USA - LIZARD RECORDS - 20103
1971 Original first pressing ...a small pressing on the obscure Lizard label by a bunch of crazy long hair crew called "FRANTIC" ...
The Frantic: Conception album is a really great early hard psych album. Never gets enough credit for being a truly landmark album from that particular time frame & location. It's every bit as good as albums from the MC-5, The Litter, or Frigid Pink ...
Numerous lineup shifts and a move to New Mexico ensued, before the band, then calling themselves Frantic, settled briefly in Oklahoma City in 1966. There they linked up with the Young Rascals and hit the road, eventually landing in NYC. When it all went south, the group returned to New Mexico before California beckoned. There, Frantic finally landed a deal with Lizard Records, resulting in their debut "Conception" album. Half the albums set was penned by them. That said, the covers are the most astonishing tracks on the set. The high point is definitely "Hey Joe," built around Kim Sherman's melancholy surf guitar and Jim Haas' cathedral organ. A garage-psych take on the Doors "Little Girl" is different, if nothing else, while "Morning Dew" starts in San Francisco Sound Jefferson Airplane territory before taking off towards British prog-dom. The Pretty Things' "Midnight to Six Man" gets the ultimate workout as the band bang through garage-psych into prog rock and British Invasion territory. The Yardbirds don't get covered, but do get an homage on Frantic's own "Scitnarf," featuring Dennis Devlin' rollicking harmonica. Of their own numbers, arguably "Shady Sam," with its Eastern influences and intriguing use of percussion, is the most interesting. They're not quite up to the top level of British prog rock scene was currently unleashing in '71. And that was Frantic's problem: so much great music, so little time to learn and regurgitate it all. Barrelling from boogie to psych, R&B to hardrock & prog, the group were jacks of all sounds and master of none. Bet they kicked butt live, though.
