" The Sound of Feeling"
Condition: VG++ disc/cover
Label: Limelight LS 86063
Additional info: Really trippy LP, especially because the two female vocalists add an unusual dimension to the goings on. Usually psych LPs rely on wailing guitar, but in this case wailing, classically trained females do some of the heavy lifting. There's excursions into chamber music, jazz and various freakouts, all pegged on standards like Donovan's Hurdy Gurdy Man. Drillhole in label. Here's a purloined bit of verbiage on them: A while ago, I wrote about an album by the Inner Dialogue, arty two girls/one guy '60s L.A. sunshine pop. The Sound Of Feeling tempts one to imagine what might have happened if the Inner Dialogue had taken copious amounts of LSD, starting hanging around late-night avant garde jazz jam sessions, and recorded an album for NY free jazz/freako label ESP. This 1969 album isn't on ESP, but on Limelight, the short-lived Mercury subdivision that was initally a Quincy Jones-supervised, legit jazz label, but eventually also home to the great electro-psych band Fifty Foot Hose and a few other West Coast weirdos in the late '60s. The album is produced by none other than legendary jazz critic Leonard Feather. The group itself essentially consists of twin sisters Alyce Rhae Andrece and Rhae Alyce Andrece (I'm not making this up) and a guy named Gary David, all of whom are credited as both singers and "arrangers." The Andrece sisters had previously done guest spots on various TV shows, most notably appearing on the 1967 Star Trek episode "I, Mudd" in multiple roles as the legion of Mudd's identical android girlfriends, all named "Alice." (I SWEAR I'm not making this up.) The band consists of a bunch of top-flight L.A. session cats more oriented toward jazz than the Wrecking Crew musicians, but who had also played tons of rock and pop sessions. One of the aformentioned cats, the uber-ubiquitous vibes/marimba/percussionist Emil Richards, contributes microtonal vibes (don't ask me). Add to all this the participation of Paul Beaver of early synthesizer duo Beaver & Krause, a close associate of Robert Moog and one of the men most responsible for the infiltration of the synthesizer into pop music and film soundtracks in the late-'60s/early-'70s. The aforementioned vocal "arrangements" suggest a collision between the Free Design, Yoko Ono, ESP avant-diva Patty Waters, and Sun Ra's background vocalists. The music is an amalgamation of free jazz, free form avant garde freakout, and deconstructed rock/pop.
