THE MEDIUM LP 1969 FREAK CANADIAN PSYCH FUZZ ACID JAZZ
Record : The Medium s/t LP. Label : Gamma 503, 1969. CONDITION : VG/G (no skipping).
This Canadian psych album is pretty interesting, starting with a trippy instrumental full of organ and fuzz guitar, and moving on to dreamy ballads and slightly heavier (but never fast) songs. The guitar playing throughout is somewhere between jazz and angular San Francisco-style noodling. There seems to be little or no attempt at melody, which actually makes the solos pretty distinctive and weird. An organ/guitar battle on “Give Me A Peace” is especially fun. The songs don’t follow traditional verse/chorus structures at all. The singer has a deep voice but isn’t exactly soulful or bluesy. This album is pretty freaky, what may have happened if bands like Aorta and Day Blindness didn’t bother to tidy up their loose ends. The style wears a little thin by the end, as the songwriting on side two doesn’t really offer anything new. Still, this is something most of you will enjoy. It has some similarities to the more satirical and pop-oriented Rabble, also from Montreal.
