| | Alarm Clocks Yeah! CD Alarm Clocks Discography of CDs
This collection includes the YEAH! single, unreleased studio tracks, and early recordings done under the name The Perceptions.
"Louie Louie," "Money," "It's All Over Now," "Wipeout" -- the law of averages demands at least a few mediocre hitherto-unsung regional garage bands to counterbalance the blazing gems, and Ohio's Alarm Clocks fill that gap. There is nothing terribly wrong with the 4,092 nationwide renditions of all the above, though, plus the lads had the mischievousness to throw on the Rolling Stones' "It's Alright," credited with a smirk to that band's old collective pseudonym, "Nanker Phelge." Raucous, cascading rhythms jostle snootier-than-you singing straight from the Jagger playbook; but nothing soars beyond, or through, these three guys in a garage to form immortal mojo clawing at posterity's eardrums. So history's richest prize here belongs to that splay-legged, bermuda-shorted fellow on the back cover, in the back yard, dancing the frug unto ecstasy and consummate un-self-consciousness. ~ Andrew Hamlin

After a few years of outdoing the Rolling Stones at their own game, Messrs. May and Co., clearly affected by their love of swinging London nightlife and all that went with it, injected their primal R&B roots with added spice (as Mike Stax, "numero uno Los Pretty Things fan," points out in his excellent liner notes). "Can't Stand the Pain" (from the 1965 Get The Picture album) has "a remarkably effective mood with a sense of a dreamy disembodiment that foreshadows what was yet to come with the arrival of psychedelia." By April 1966, B-side "LSD," yet another controversial shot in the Pretty Things' canon, helped pioneer the "freakbeat" sound, whilst the media's attacks on the Pretties slack, druggy values were foremost to the changing times -- in fact, the record was a play on words about the English economy and not a celebration of the merits of LSD usage. However, the band was clearly well-aware of LSD and its effects, and over the coming months further musical explorations that were to steer the band away from their earlier tough R&B sound were to occur. After the rather well-thought inclusion of these two late 1965 and early 1966 tracks, the rest of this double CD focuses on output that was recorded across the 1967 to 1970 psychedelic era. Cuts from the much maligned Emotions album, released in May 1967, take on a new edge when singled out from the album's far from psychedelic brassy pop numbers. The visceral "There Will Never Be Another Day" chronicles an LSD trip, whilst "The Sun" and "Growing in My Mind" show a far more introspective side well suited to the floral times. A primer for this set is an earlier take of "Children," which crackles with raga guitar in an altogether less commercial manner than the album version. Although somewhat of an albatross around the band's neck, when intermingled with their psychedelically charged later material, the chosen cuts from Emotions certainly indicate the direction they were intending to take. The pre-S.F. Sorrow November 1967 single "Defecting Grey" was the pinnacle of not only the Pretty Things' experimentation with psychedelia, but one of the finest examples of British psychedelia. A cacophony of fuzz guitar, trippy lyrics, fairground organ, and sitar, with numerous twists and turns in tempo, mood, and thematics. Like an acid trip, "Defecting Grey" was a rollercoaster of a ride that was fun, disturbing, and overall invigorating. At last the band had conquered psychedelia. Although they would never match its lysergic quality again, the Pretties were now a bona fide "underground freak band." After a following ...
