ABOUT BABY WOODROSE:
================
Baby Woodrose is bekend om zijn hallucinogene eigenschappen en
wordt vaak gebruikt voor de psychedelische effecten dat zij produceren.
http://dutch.shayanashop.com/ss-baby_woodrose.aspx
The Hawaiian Baby Woodrose seeds are just like the morning glory part of
family Convolvulaceae. The seeds can be eaten while natural tryptamine and
LSA (family of LSD) will do his work. Do not think this is something from
the smart shop that does not work.
Warning: This is a food supplement. Not for minors.
Read the instructions for use on the package.
Hawaiian Baby Woodrose Seeds Vs. Morning Glory Seeds
The morning glory and Hawaiian baby woodrose are both members of the same
plant family and are close cousins. They are both attractive flowering vines,
native to the tropics but now widespread. Both plants produce copious seeds,
which can make them aggressive in tropical landscapes. The seeds of both
plants contain LSA, a chemical compound related to the hallucinogen LSD.

what a long strange trip this was...
Baby Woodrose - Mind blowing experience from utter bliss to insanity and back...
Man kann Baby Woodrose mit vielen Worten umschreiben:
Psychedelic-Beischlaf-Blues-Garagen-Rock zum Beispiel.

Baby Woodrose er et dansk rockband, der har taget navn efter den hallucinogene plante
Baby Hawaiian Woodrose. De spiller musik, der er inspireret af 1960'ernes og 1970'ernes
psykedeliske rock, garagepunk, med grupper som Chocolate Watchband, Love, The Byrds,
13th Floor Elevators. Gruppen blev dannet i 2001 af frontmanden Lorenzo Woodrose, som
p� det dav�rende tidspunkt stadigv�k var trommeslager i bandet On Trial. Han indspillede
selv 15 sange med sig selv ved samtlige instrumenter. Herefter udgav han ligeledes selv
debutalbummet Blows Your Mind. Fra for�ret 2010 blev gruppen udvidet med en enkelt person,
s� de i dag er fire: Lorenzo Woodrose (vokal og guitar), Mads S�by (vokal og guitar),
K�re Joensen (el-bas og vokal) og Hans Beck (trommer).
Baby Woodrose are Denmarks undisputed Garage Kings.
Over the course of seven albums and more than 350 concerts
since 2003 the band has firmly established itself internationally.
Their fusion of acid- and fuzz drenchd 60s punk with amphetamine
driven psychedelic power trio rock has garnered the outfit
a strong following in the 60s, garage and stoner scene.
Their latest album has been released in September 2009.
Baby Woodrose has played several tours in Europe and the US,
played with The Hellacopters, Wolfmother or Love as well as numerous
high profile festivals, most notably Roskilde Festival and Roadburn.
Die Standleitung zur Gegenwart hat das d�nische Quartett l�ngst gekappt.
Der rauhe, psychedelische Hardrock der fr�hen Siebziger ist ebenso ihre
Sache wie der Psych-Folk und Garagen-Rotz der sp�ten Sechziger.
So altmodisch wie zeitlos, so konsequent wie brachial: Baby Woodrose
stehen Genregr��en wie etwa Monster Magnet oder Bevis Front in nichts nach.
Ein "schwer halluzinierendes Psychedelik-Rockmonster" (www.laut.de), das
sich passenderweise nach einer Hawaiianischen Schlingpflanze benannt hat,

enthalten. Zur rockmusikalischen Zeitreise, bitte hier einsteigen.

ABOUT THIS CONCERT HERE:
This recording was mainly done as test for the "new" compact switchable stereo microphone -
for MS and XY stereophony, with freely adjustable pickup angles and selectable directional
characteristics - THE ONE AND ONLY NEUMANN USM 69i ...

in combination with the Neumann BS 48 i-2 Phantom Power Supply...
I was a bit disappointed when i got them BW-recordings from Frizze's birthday party.
The Vibravoid recording with the Neumann mike was quite sensational - IMHO - for
this very special room "Kantine" @ Cobra. But the Baby Woodrose ones....hmmmm...
i just stored all the stuff - quite frustrated - as deep as possible in the vaults.
Over the next couple weeks (de facto now: months...) i had to learn a lot:
- i listened to all available Baby Woodrose recordings to get the groove
- i had to learn all of Lorenzo's lyrics to get this very special feeling
- i needed a treatment for a big variety of addictions to clear my befogged view
- i had to take the waters, supported by a special diet with spiritual cleansing
Finally i was back, fully focussed on this recording here...
The main reason why the Woodrose sounded
DIFFERENT to the Vibravoid one was easy:
- Brother deafmusic did his splendid boardworks JUST for the support act :-(
- Baby Woodrose had their own sound engineer who is blamable for this mixing :-(
- finally it was Frizze's birthday...and THIS NITE he had the right to PARTY! ;-)
Getting them recordings out of the vaults
& listening to all after some hiatus was
quite more pleasurable than i thought...
1. the backup-recording - ZOOM H1 with board mikes - is really boomy w/out high-end
2. the Soundman OKM IIR microphones did a decent job...nothing more or less...
3. this one here -> NEUMANN is NEUMANN...just normalized, otherwise untouched.
CHECK THE SAMPLES...GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME, GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU ??

Cobra, Solingen
10 Jahre Baby Woodrose � das ist nicht nur ein guter Anlass auf einen Haufen toller Releases
zur�ckzublicken. Gefeiert wurde dieses Jubil�um vom 16. bis 26. November mit einer Tour die
Lorenzo und Co. von Hamburg bis nach W�rzburg f�hrte. Nat�rlich durften sich Soulseller
Martin, Ben und Stefan das Finale im Cobra in Solingen nicht entgehen lassen.
Punktlich um 20:00 Uhr fand man sich in Soligens Hot Spot in Sachen Rockmusik ein. Hier jetzt
von einem gut gef�llten Lokal zu sprechen w�re unsinn. Das Cobra war bis unter die Decke gef�llt
von Fans der Woodrosen und solchen, die es nach diesem Abend werden sollten.
Zun�chst standen Vibravoid auf dem Programm.
Die D�sseldorfer gelten als das deutsche Aush�ngeschild f�r psychedelischen Acid Rock.
Ihre von Pink Floyd und den fr�hen The Who inspirierte Musik ist Markenzeichen und zog
auch am 26.11. die Besucher in seinen Bann. Gute 40 Minuten spielten sich die Herren
durch unterschiedliche Sph�ren, Farben und Klangwelten bis sie unter wohlverdientem
Applaus die B�hne verlie�en.
Eine tolle Band und ein sehr gelungener Start in den Abend.
Um 22:00 Uhr war es dann soweit und Baby Woodrose betraten die B�hne und luden die Zuschauer
auf eine Reise in eine Welt voller brachialer Garage-Sounds, fantastischen Melodien und
psychedelischen Weiten. Nur wenige Augenblicke brauchten Lorenzo und Co. und das Publikum
folgte ihnen bereitwillig.
Es war der letzte Abend ihrer Tour. Einer Tour, die der Band viel Freude bereitet haben muss.
Hier gab es keine Anzeichen von M�digkeit, Ausgelaugtheit oder Lustlosigkeit. Ganz im Gegenteil.
Die Woodrosen spielten drauf los und zelebrierten ihre Songs als wollten sie dieses Tourende
hinausz�gern oder vielleicht gar nicht mehr enden.
Der fantastische Sound und das atmosph�rische Licht taten ihr �briges. Wo man ein bisschen
Platz zum Tanzen fand, da wurde getanzt. An anderen Stellen sah man Besucher wippend und mit
geschlossenen Augen den Kl�ngen lauschen.
Die Reise f�hrte durch ihre Ver�ffentlichungen der vergangenen zehn Jahre. So lie�en Songmonster
wie Pouring Water, I Lost You In My Mind, die m�chtigen Baby Blows Your Mind und Disconnected
und das G�nsehaut erzeugende Caught In A Whirl nicht lange auf sich warten.
Knappe 90 Minuten dauerte die Reise hinaus aus dem Cobra und hinein in eine Unendlichkeit, die
vor Energie und Gef�hl nur so leuchtet. Baby Woodrose sind Meister im erzeugen von Atmosph�ren,
die weit �ber gewohnte Songstrukturen hinausgehen. Hier geht es um Musik die im Kopf ihre Kreise
zieht, w�hrend sie im Bauch f�r W�rme sorgt und die F��e herrenlos werden l��t.
Ehrlich, intensiv vorgetragen mit einer Energie die ansteckt und von der sich an diesem Abend
jeder etwas mit nach Hause nehmen konnte.
Dies war ein Abend der besonderen Art, der noch lange in den K�pfen bleiben wird.
Applaus und Danke! (Ben)

NOW THE SAME PROCEDURE AS USUAL:
IN MY OPINION ANOTHER "MUST-HAVE" SHOW
(i know i write this ALL the time...)...!
THE SOUND HERE ?
It's a deafmusic recording, a Neumann microphone,
and just a bit of lonetaper mastering - 'NUFF SAID !
if you're still beset BY DOUBTS,
please check the samples...or better:
LEAVE IT, GRAB SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT !!
all others - thanks for trusting me/us:
CRANK UP YOUR BEST STEREO SYSTEM & START TRIPPING OUT !

Solingen (the city)
Germany (the country)
November 26, 2011 (the date)
Solingen is a city in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It is located on the
northern edge of the region called Bergisches Land, south of the Ruhr area,
and with a 2005 population of 162,685 is the second largest city in the
Bergisches Land. It is a member of the regional authority of the Rhineland.
Solingen is called the "City of Blades", since it has long been renowned for
the manufacturing of fine swords, knives, scissors and razors made by famous
firms such as DOVO Solingen, W�sthof, J. A. Henckels, Boker, and numerous
other manufacturers. Wilkinson is also based here.
In Medieval times, the swordsmiths of Solingen coined the town's image, which
is preserved to this date. Some 90% of German knives are produced in Solingen.

so NO additional EQ'ing was used here, and none of those compressors, Sonic Maximizer
or other psychoacoustic processors - why ruin another true deafmusic recording ?
It sounds completely the way it was distinguishable
that night in this venue - IF NOT WAY BETTER ;-)
I accentuated just all the spoken passages, averagely +2,43 dB (with the same
amount of careful digital hiss reduction), balanced the stereo channels (the
right one averagely +0,58 dB), and reduced some of the instrumental plug ins.
The only further addition was a short fade-in at the beginning, and a fade-out
at the end, after the audience applause, so truly NO MUSIC was harmed or lost.

Leo once wrote:
VERY SPECIAL THANKS, from the bottom of my heart, to my longtime
friend & fellow DIMEr deafmusic for opening his incredible archive.
Parts of the "Deafmusic Collection" are also in the "MWM"-vaults, as we
did not only trade with each other for 30+ years, we also viewed and
recorded a bunch of shows together, as friends, music fans and concert
promoters, usually with a bunch of Tascams and Sony's in a row...
BIG BIG THANKS TO everyone else involved @ COBRA
i know i missed some, but i'm getting old, mind fading :-(
Big thanks to my wife, Mrs. Leo, for supporting
and taking an active part in all my crazyness...
No animals were harmed in the making of this
recording or during the mastering and transfer.
And if there's some interest, maybe there is MORE TO COME...
it just depends on YOUR demeanor, and lotta useful comments ;-)
A FEW MORE COMMENTS ABOUT BABY WOODROSE, THEIR RECORDS & SHOWS:
====================================================
Die d�nische Band Baby Woodrose werden uns ab November mit einigen Deutschland-Konzerten
verw�hnen. Rocken wird das Motto bei den Gigs sein, denn wer die Jungs schon mal live gesehen
hat, der wei� was ich meine. Mit neuer Platte in der Hinterhand geht es zur�ck auf die B�hnen.
Wer auf Stonerrock und 70er Jahre Rock steht, sollte dieses Event in diesem Jahr nicht verpassen.

Baby Woodrose - Solingen, Club Cobra, 26.11.2011
Am 26.11.2011 stand wieder ein Konzert einer skandinavischen Band auf dem Programm. Heute ging
es nach Solingen in den Club Cobra, um sich die Band Baby Woodrose anzuschauen und anzuh�ren.
Zun�chst aber wurde der Gig mit der deutschen Combo Vibravoid er�ffnet. Die Musik wird u.a.
als Acid-Space-Rock (was auch immer das sein mag?) oder als Psychedelic-Rock bezeichnet.
Live musste ich mich erst einmal reinh�ren und mir Zeit geben bevor der Groove einsetzte. Die Wahl,
Vibravoid als Vorband von Baby Woodrose zu nehmen, war dann auch in den Augen einiger Zuh�rer nicht
ganz so gut getroffen. Das lag aber nicht an dem K�nnen der Musiker, sondern daran, dass die Richtung
der Musik in eine andere Sparte angesiedelt werden kann und eher zum Tr�umen als zum Rocken animierte.
Nach guten 45 Minuten und kurzer Umbaupause ging es mit einige Bierchen intus weiter. Aber in dieser
Zeit f�llte sich der kleine Club so sehr, dass schon fast von Ausverkauft die Rede war. Ok, das Cobra
hatte gerade mal ein Fassungsverm�gen von etwa 120 Leuten, die dann ihren Platz suchen mussten um bei
den nachfolgenden Headliner abgehen zu k�nnen. Da hilft nur eins, ab in die erste Reihe und los geht's,
denn um 22:15 Uhr kamen dann Baby Woodrose auf der Eckb�hne des Cobra zum Vorschein. Eckb�hne ?!, Ja
ihr habt richtig gelesen. Die B�hne war nicht nur in einer Ecke platziert, nein sie war dann auch �ber
Eck gebaut. Also konnte man, wenn man nicht gerade 5m vor der B�hne gestanden hat, entweder nur den
Bassisten und den Frontmann oder halt von der anderen Seite den Gitarrist und den Schlagzeuger sehen.
Ziemlich ung�nstig so eine Eckb�hne sage ich Euch.
Nun gut - aber Baby Woodrose stellten sofort klar, dass auch auf so einer B�hne gerockt werden kann,
was das Zeug h�lt. Ich muss sagen, dass die Band live immer wieder �berzeugt und sich h�rter anh�rt
als auf Platte. Der Sound der einzelnen Songs ist live um einiges rauer und erinnert �fter an eine
alt bekannte Stonerrockband. Mein Tipp am Rande - w�re sch�n wenn demn�chst mal ein Live-Album von
Baby Woodrose aufgenommen und ver�ffentlicht wird ;-). Aber zur�ck zum Konzert, denn hier war noch
lange nicht Schluss. Mit viel Applaus wurden die vier Musiker aus D�nemark angespornt und gaben einen
Gassenhauer nach dem anderem zum Besten - cool. Zugabenrufe von Seiten des Publikums holten Baby Woodrose
dann auch wieder schnell auf die B�hnenbretter zur�ck. Das Konzert endete dann so kurz vor Mitternacht
und konnte danach mit der Band auf H�he der Biertheke zum Abschluss gebracht werden.
Fazit: Ein gelungener rockiger Abend mit Baby Woodrose trotz Eckb�hne !!

Schrubbt einem sch�n den Neokortex.
Review von Dominik Kraus
Baby Woodrose? Klingt irgendwie niedlich. So wie ein kleines zartes Bl�mchen am Weges-
rand, das geduldig darauf wartet sanft gepfl�ckt und der Liebsten �berreicht zu werden.
Aber Vorsicht - nicht dass die Holde vom s��en Pfl�nzlein nascht und sich unversehens
in ein schwer halluzinierendes Psychedelicrockmonstrum verwandelt.
Denn die Hawaiianische Holzrose (= Baby Woodrose) hat es in sich und ist f�r ihre
psychoaktiven Samen bekannt, die Hawaiian Babies genannt werden. Sie enthalten den
Wirkstoff Ergin (Lysergs�ureamid, LSA), der dem Lysergs�urediethylamid (LSD) �hnlich
ist und psychedelisch wirkt. �hnlich verh�lt es sich mit der nach dem Wunderkraut
benannten d�nischen Rockkapelle, die uns hier mit ihrem sechsten Longplayer begl�ckt:
es wirkt psychedelisch.
Im musikalischen Schattenreich der internationalen Beatkeller irgendwo zwischen Monster Magnet
und Bevis Frond hin und her oszillierend, legt Lorenzo Woodrose gleich beim Opener "Fortune Teller"
los, dass es eine wahr Freude ist - Groovy Psychedelicrock at its best. Das folgende "Take It"
schl�gt in dieselbe Kerbe, w�hrend "Open Up Your Heart" sowie das mit Mundharmonika aufgepeppte
"Emily" etwas weniger Garagenrock und mehr 60s-Folk-Pop in sich tragen.
Bis dahin ein recht furioser Auftakt. Die eingeschlagene musikalische Marschroute wird auch im
folgenden - von leichten Variationen abgesehen - beibehalten. Allerdings verliert die psychedelische
Bimmelbahn im Laufe der zweiten H�lfte des Albums so ein wenig an Fahrt. Mit "Changes Everywhere"
bieten Baby Woodrose uns noch einen formidablen Psychpopsong und "No Mas" entpuppt sich als
angenehm dreckiger Garagenrockfeger.
Das letzte Viertel der Scheibe steht dann leider allzu sehr im Zeichen des R�ucherst�bchens.
Hall, Waber, Gefiedel, Seufz. Psychedelisch? Ja schon, aber irgendwie auch halbgar. Immerhin
wurden die St�cke sinnvoller weise an das Ende der Platte ger�ckt, so dass jeder selbst
entscheiden kann, ob er die sanfteren und verschwurbelteren T�ne als soften Ausklang das
H�rerlebnisses nutzt - oder eben gleich noch einmal zur�ck skipt und sich vom Fortuneteller
ordentlich den Neokortex schrubben l�sst.

Baby Woodrose, Mindblowing Seeds and Disconnected Flowers: This is Your Brain on Pop
When we last heard from him, Copenhagen preacher of the lysergic Lorenzo Woodrose was telling
us to turn on, tune in and fuck off with the collective Dragontears. Now back under the moniker
Baby Woodrose � the band taking its name from the Hawaiian baby woodrose plant, whose seeds are
known to have psychotropic effects on those who eat them � our man Lorenzo takes us back to the
very roots of the band with Mindblowing Seeds and Disconnected Flowers (released by Bad Afro).
The 15-track, 39-minute full-length is a collection of the earliest Baby Woodrose demos, written
and recorded by Woodrose during a rough patch in 1999 that had him crashing on the couch of his
then-bandmate in On Trial and current-bandmate in Dragontears, The Hobbit and coming up with over
50 songs' worth of material following a series of trips with the seeds from which he now takes his
last name. He recounts the time in the liner tray of the digipak Mindblowing Seeds and Disconnected
Flowers comes in (the gorgeously psychedelic artwork of Kiryk Drewinski both inside the package and
out is also worth noting), and the result is that the album, in addition to functioning as a complete
full-length with a flow one song to the next, also gives followers of Baby Woodrose an idea never
before available of how the band began and just how central Woodrose himself has always been to
the process.
Apart from a cover of The Illusions' 1966 single "City of People," all of Mindblowing Seeds and
Disconnected Flowers is comprised of Woodrose original songs, and even though they are simple in
terms of structure � it's supposed to be; the garage rock elements of Baby Woodrose's sound really
comes out here � it's still an impressive feat, and no doubt Woodrose had his work cut out for him
in mixing, mastering and whittling down the glut of material for this release. Those familiar with
Baby Woodrose will revel in the chance to revisit some of their earliest cuts � most would appear
on the eventual 2001 debut, Blows Your Mind! � but even for someone who hasn't followed the band
over the course of their career, the immediacy with which these songs hit speaks for itself.
In comparing these versions to the final album tracks, these have a directness to them even apart
from the rawer feel of the recording. They're definitely rough, but they show Woodrose's talent
for songwriting and love of mid to late '60s psych, as well as awareness of what was happening
in the international stoner scene at the time. His voice, as ever, reminds in its inflection of
Monster Magnet's Dave Wyndorf, and he plays the rest of the instruments on Mindblowing Seeds and
Disconnected Flowers, so it's about as much a solo venture as you can get.
That does produce an isolated feel at times � particularly the slower or more lonely tracks like
"Caught in a Whirl," "Living a Dream" or closer "Run Little Girl," but it's never to the detriment
of the songs themselves. It's not like you go into an album of psychedelic garage rock demos
expecting a fully produced sound, and the strong rockers "Pandora" and "Baby Blows," "Gonna Get
You Down" with its classic buzzsaw tone and the infectious "Kara Lynn" have more than enough
variety within them to offset any such reservations. Baby Woodrose has always been about worshiping
the roots of psychedelic rock, and Mindblowing Seeds and Disconnected Flowers reinforces that.
At the same time, Woodrose injects no small measure of personality into his playing, giving these
songs � even as basic and un-fleshed-out as they are � a sense of individuality within the genre
that sets them apart. He's a talented songwriter, and that shows in the choruses of any number
of the later Blows Your Mind! pieces, or even the Rubber Soul-esque "Run Little Girl," which
closes the album. The Illusions cover fits so well with the rest of the material that if it
didn't say so in the liner notes, I'd never expect it wasn't one of Woodrose's own songs.
That doesn't happen by accident.
In his explanation of how the material came about, Woodrose calls preparing the release Mindblowing
Seeds and Disconnected Flowers a "thankless task," but with upwards of 35 other songs supposedly in
the ether, I hope this isn't the last we hear of these 1999 demos. The proto-punk intensity with which
they're executed makes the record a listen for anyone who's ever been curious about Baby Woodrose,
new fans or old, and it's important to note that you don't have to have Blows Your Mind! or any of
the subsequent full-lengths to appreciate the tracks on Mindblowing Seeds and Disconnected Flowers.
The songs are good enough to stand on their own, and that's just what they're doing here. If, as
Woodrose asserts, compiling this album was a thankless task, then I'll be the first to stand up and
show my appreciation for the effort on his part. Mindblowing Seeds and Disconnected Flowers has given
me a whole new outlook on Baby Woodrose's material, and a positive one at that.
Definitely recommended for anyone interested in aural trippery.

17.03.2012 � Baby Woodrose � Magic Karpet Ride festival, Lakai (NL)
Today we witnessed a new birth of a new stoner/psychedelic-rock festival in the Netherlands.
The headliners of the day, where the Danish space-rockers of Baby Woodrose. The band formed
around Lorenzo Woodrose is a quite well know band in the stoner/psychedelic-rock scene. That
showed, because a lot of people where in front of the stage in the already packed club. This
band is like Danish pastry, sweet and soft from the inside, but hard and loud from the outside!
This band sounds a lot like the early Monster Magnet and that's not a bad thing at all.
Although on record their records are not that guitar-dominant, their live shows are! Loud and
catchy spacerock �n roll by a band that is on the top of their bill! There was room for the
other guitar-player as well as for Lorenzo, to excel in spacy riffs and fierce guitar-solos.
Overall a very good show, with a set list that held songs from almost every album they did.
I heard songs from albums like Blow Your Mind as well as Love Comes Down. This show and
basically this whole festival, was an ideal warming-up for the Roadburn festival, that is
coming up in a few weeks.
