THE CHEMISTRY SET - THE TRAGIC FRIDGE MAGNET / STP (Regal Crabomophone) 7" (On sale 15th December)

Advance orders are being taken for this popular band. Its driving rock reminded me of The Bevis Frond and there's not many lyricists mention the National Geographic nor fridge magnets as it happens. 'STP' (Space time deception) is far out psychedelia taking me back to the Syd Barretts or and Kevin Ayres of this world - with a touch of Hendrix- loved the heavy bass. and phased drumming btw.

ANOTHER IMPORTANT MESSAGE

Due to the backlog of reviewing because of a lengthy stay in hospital I am not only looking for other reviewers to help out but also must prioritise physical product i.e. CDs, vinyl or tape. Well done FRUITS DE MER! If you need my postage details please do not hesitate. There must be potential or established reviewers out there to join me in keeping this 10,000 plus visitors in 18 months going.

CRYSTAL JACQUELINE AND FRIENDS - SMOKE ROAD (double LP) (Fruits de Mer) (2025)

Listening to this album at the moment. I am sorry I don't have time for my usual detailed reviews. Followers of FdM will be familiar with Jacqueline and The Honey Pot, and members of Tir Na Nog and Icarus Peel also lend a hand (there are 19 songs). "Smoke Road" is acid folk and psych of the highest order. If this is your scene this ambitious project ranks as essential.
