内容紹介

You've got it, Sherlock, their album title refers to the end of the world as we know it on that cataclysmic day of reckoning (no Hallmark cards available yet). And the advent of earsplitting, cortex skewering bands like the Maze really did signal the sultry dog days of the sixties. But just like that ultimate orgasmic blast at the end of a great fireworks show, what a perfect way to go.

The Whispering Shades of Acid

2012年9月18日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

An early and revolutionary enough psychedelic outfit from the end of the 60s, which started its life in San Francisco area under the moniker of Stonehenge - as just another one of numerous slightly stoned folkie outfits with hippie chick as singer. As such, in 1967 they've recorded few songs (two of these recordings - "Right Time" and "Rumors" - are presented on this CD as bonus tracks), then promptly abandoned the name Stonehenge (together with the chick), and the same year re-surfaced as The Maze: "Kit" Carson Boyd on drums, Ric Eittreim (keyboards & vocals), William Gardner (guitar & vocals), Jeff Jensen (bass & vocals). The music changed too, and drifted from West Coast sound towards heavy acid of Iron Butterfly, dark and menacing, lying on roaring fuzzy guitars and trippy organ. Although some elements of The Maze reminds meditative psychedelia of the Fab Four, its roots are purely American, and I would suggest that spiritually it was related to the pioneer projects of Jerry Cole, predating The Beatles - The Inner Sounds of the Id . Not unlike the famous Id of Cole, the music marks the transition from pop to acid, from singles to a concept album, and ventures sometimes into progressive. The harmonies are complicated and innovative, covering pretty wide range of styles and elements.
The sole album was recorded for MTA label between 1967 and 1968 in legendary Golden State Recorders - the state of the art studio founded and run by Leo De Gar Kulke (a.k.a. The Baron), who co-produced it with Larry Goldberg (famous for his work with The Crusaders). The contribution of Leo Kulke (who is a visionary, rivaling Joe Meek, Phil Spector and Mike Levon) shouldn't be downplayed, since he was obsessed with the magnitude of the sound and usually concentrated on the concept as a whole, instead of the details. No wonder that he was often called "the sound of San Francisco", and the list of his clients reads like the history of American rock: Beau Brummels, Sons of Champlin, Big Brother & The Holding Company and... The Warlocks (later known as The Grateful Dead) - among others.
The original album sporting unpretentious artwork and featuring 7 self-penned compositions (mostly by Bill Gardner) was released in 1968; one year later (in 1969) similar music ideas were picked up and elaborated even further by superb act from Miami - The Fantasy (search for "Stoned Cowboy" on YouTube). Sometimes The Maze is also compared to Freeborne from Boston Peak Impressions , but that's a bit too far-fetched, since the Bostonians sound more light-weighted and less desperate musically.
In spite of its importance, the album went almost unnoticed, Carson Boyd was drafted to Vietnam to be replaced by Joel McKinney, but it didn't work. The Maze went to obscurity, to be painstakingly resuscitated by Bob Irwin of Sundazed (apart from originals, another 6 previously unreleased compositions are generously added as bonus tracks).
Following the theory of the noosphere, or the sphere of human thought of Acad. Vernadsky and Teilhard de Chardin, the spirit and sound of the title song fought the time and space to resurrect in "The Decades" of Joy Division.
Worth every penny and a must

Worth a listen...

The Maze apparently formed in Fairfield, California in late 1967 after an earlier folk-ish incarnation named Stonehenge petered out leaving behind only a couple of recorded tracks (both featured here as bonuses). This - their only album - was recorded over a period of months at the legendary Golden State Recorders in San Francisco and released in 1968 on the obscure MTA label. It seems not much other info is available on the group, as - unusually for Sundazed - the notes contained in this CD issue are fairly scant.

The music itself is fairly dramatic acid rock with portentous (and it has to be said, often off-key) vocals and the occasional burst of stabbing fuzz guitar. The group's sound is underpinned with a bed of Farfisa-sounding organ and fairly lackadaisical drumming. The overall effect is really quite pleasing though, with a nice 'texture' to the sound, making the album well worth a listen for genre specialists. I'd single out the 7 minute title track as a highlight (despite the dodgy vocals) and also direct the listener to the two versions of `Whispering Shadows' which are quite nice ornate psych pieces. Also good is `Dejected Soul' with it's fuzz riff (the previously unreleased instrumental take is particularly enjoyable) and the the instrumental version of `Kissy Face' which rounds the disc out with some lovely `acidic' guitar work.

Overall then, certainly not a masterpiece, but well worth a punt at the right price (I'd actually give it 3 and a half stars if Amazon would let me!)
