from SEETHEFUZZ7 collection # 200 (celebration daze!)

Rec. Info:
AIWA CM30 -> Olympus LS11 (@ WAV 16/44) -> SDcard -> HD -> WeTransfer -> my HD -> Audacity (edit/volume balance/boost only) -> WAV 16/44 -> TLH8 -> FLAC -> DIME -> YOUR EARS AND MIND...
Recorded by the FUZZMAN stage edge a bit left as usual. Excellent recording, though the vocals are a bit buried in the house mix. Almost no chatters audible, all instruments are clear,
so nothing to complain. A few nice pics are included as usual...and that gorgeous poster, too.

Celebration daze for # 200...way cool...it's been less than 2 years ago since we started our "fruitful" connection of IGOR (me) and the FRANKEN(stein-guys) with the return of master taper
FUZZMAN back on recording track. As I really liked most of his recordings, some where not from my planet of rockn roll music. Too many 60's garage beat, but hell yeah, intimite sounds from
so many great psychedelic stoner/doom/heavy 70's rock bands that lightened up my mind and discovered new shores...and some jazz recently as well...and graced for some great discoveries.
THANKS FROM THE HEART OF ROCKN ROLL INSIDE OF ME...FUZZMAN. These vintage AIWA CM 30 did always good at club shows, sometimes even better, but worse on outdoor shows.
Both of us decided within' a second of phone talk, that this show would be # 200. And so the circle closes and starts with all 12 cylinders again with # 201...but wait...

What is this? A rumbling sound you might expect from an earthquake? Supervolcanoes exploding into the spheres? Planets colliding and suns melting into black holes?
Well, almost. This is just fucking great psychedelic spacestoner rock, at least from the forth track on. I can cleary understand the enthusiasm of our dear taper! A few notes from themselves:

"Like a destructive wind bursting and shredding these six strings of space release some 5,000 notes circleing and oscillating around timelessly and unremittingly in and out of the beating heart
and core groove of the drums, the banging the bashing allows the bass to seem far out as a cosmic buffet of pounding and pummeling and punishing and as if underneath the ocean came
an atmospheric astral plane of sounds infinite and fuzzed down to the bone do these keyboard ivories tickle as if lost in space. But out with the bull and in with the real,
these 4 music lovers and jam crazed heavy seekers search to get that sound aloud and and make a ton of fucking noise..."

Yes, indeed, all well said...nothing more to add except: ENJOY and LIGHTEN ONE UP for this! SB.
