 (1 Customer Review)
The Love Exchange's only album is an obscure also-ran psychedelic effort, though it's not poor. "Swallow the Sun," their most familiar tune due to its appearance on some '60s anthologies, is the standout on this assortment of rudimentary trippy garage-psych explorations. The minor-key yet poppy melodic progressions, leaning on snaky guitar lines and organ, are typical of much 1966-1968 California hippie rock. The tunes, however (often written by producer Larry Goldberg), are derivative and the lyrics self-conscious in their incense-tuous air. The production sometimes verges on the hasty and crude; Bonnie Blunt's voice, usually the focal point, is deserving of better material and arrangements. The folk-rock quotient comes to the fore on two of the better tunes, the appropriately melancholy and ghostly "Ballad of a Sad Man" (written by bassist Mike Joyce) and "Nothing at All," on which Blunt cedes the lead vocal position to one of the guys. The latter song, in fact, has a garage folk-rock air (and unrefined production) that leads one to suspect that it may have been cut earlier than most or all of the other tracks on the record. The 2001 Sundazed reissue has three previously unissued cuts (including a couple of awful quasi-showtune ditties) and three alternate takes of songs from the LP. ~ Richie Unterberger

Love Exchange CD music
$11.59   
Digitally remastered by Bob Irwin (Sundazed Studios, Coxsackie, New York).
The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band's first album for Reprise was the best of the group's career, in large part because it was the most song-oriented. It was still plenty weird, almost to the point of stylistic schizophrenia, but when you got down to it, much of the record was comprised of fairly catchy songs in the neighborhood of two and three minutes. At times they sounded like reasonably normal, fairly talented Byrds-like folk-rockers ("Transparent Day," P.F. Sloan's "Here's Where You Belong"); at others, a Kinks-like garage band ("If You Want This Love"); and at others, a fey Baroque pop outfit (the orchestrated ...

The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band: Shaun Harris, Dan Harris, Bob Markley.
Digitally remastered by Bob Irwin (Sundazed Studio, Coxsackie, New York).
The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band, no strangers to weirdness on their prior 1967 album Part One, had still often stuck to relatively straightforward, concise, and pop-flavored songs on that LP. Here they stretched out into less structured, more avowedly psychedelic (and indeed experimental) territory, with mixed results. "Smell of Incense" (covered for a small hit by Southwest FOB) was ...

| | Clear Light CD (1967)
Love Exchange album
$11.59
Kind of a minor league version of the Doors, Clear Light were a West Coast phenomenon, and although they didn't last too long, were an interesting group. A very good slice of Los Angeles psychedelia, Clear Light were a six-piece band that combined folk, rock, psychedelia, and even a touch of classical to their sound. The end result, though, is a little ponderous and pretentious, but strangely listenable. The big hit off this album (produced by Paul ...

Love Exchange album
$13.15
WATERLOO LILY is the 1972 album by the British prog-rock band Caravan.
Before the recording of Waterloo Lily, David Sinclair departed Caravan to join forces with Soft Machine skinsman Robert Wyatt and form Matching Mole. With the subsequent arrival of former Delivery member Steve Miller and an overwhelming jazz influence, the edgier progressive rock and folk elements that were so prevalent on their previous albums are somewhat repressed. The band's performance level did not suffer in the transition. In fact, the addition of Miller only punctuates Caravan's previously honed improvisational skills. Beginning with Waterloo Lily's leadoff title track, there is a sound more akin to the jazzier efforts of Traffic. Miller's "Nothing at All" incorporates ...
| | Sucking The 70'S CDs (2002)
Love Exchange CD music
$14.75
In the early '90s, it seems every shaggy-headed rock dude from here to Timbuktu had jumped head first into grunge or "heavy alternative," and in the late '90s, the same approach had mutated into stoner rock, but at heart it all boiled down to the same thing -- young guys with big amps who longed to sound as heavy and punishing as Black Sabbath in their salad days. Sucking the 70's is a double-disc compilation featuring 35 different bands each covering a (usually) FM-radio-approved hard rock hit from the first era of marijuana-enhanced hard rock, the 1970s. Pretty much everyone here has dropped their tunings, jacked up their amps, and aimed for maximum heaviness, either in the pursuit of a faithful tribute (Throttlerod's "Black Betty" is the spitting image of Ram Jam's version, while Raging Slab -- yep, they're still at it -- are obviously honored to be taking a stab at Grand Funk's "We're an American Band") or a thorough reworking (witness Porn (The Men Of)'s slow grinding take of Neil Young's "Out on the Weekend" and Suplecs's brutal throb on Rush's "Working Man"). But most of these covers either ape the original closely enough to bring nothing new to the table, or drift so far from the original that the better qualities of the songs are lost. (Notable exception: Lord Sterling's thick but fleet-footed take on the MC5 rarity "Black to Comm.") Yeah, it's all big, heavy, and rockin', but Sucking the 70's just isn't any fun, and even the scuzziest '70s rock was still about a good time, and if you really want to hear some balls-out rock with a strong '70s influence, last that I heard Paranoid and Master of Reality were both still in print. ~ Mark Deming
