Dashiell Hedayat



weirdo French head who was getting stoned with Daevid Allen, et al. in the late '60s, and made one hazy LP for Shandar in '71. jammed this today for this first time in a while. if you can deal with sometimes-whisper-spoken French vocals (not an easy task, i know), this is a grower. some nice organic jamming. don't fear the Gong connection (it's during their 'good' years anyway), this one is not overly fey or generally gross (in the bad way). features one of the great sleeve notes of all time - "warning: this record must be played as loud as possible, must be heard as stoned as impossible and thank you everybody." cop the album here or here. quick disclaimer for all future posts - unless otherwise indicated, all D/L links are stolen from other blogs/whereever and no degree of audio quality or even completeness is implied.
