Description:

By far the most ominous-sounding of the Bay Areaâ??s 1960s psychedelic bands, the music of Berkeleyâ??s Mad River comes across like a spiraling, acid-spiked descent into hell. With a raw, garagey style marked by Lawrence Hammondâ??s quavering vocals and the interlocking exchanges of guitarists David Robinson and Rick Bockner, Mad Riverâ??s sound conjures a darker, more menacing version of Quicksilver Messenger Service or early Country Joe and The Fish. No wonder the quintetâ??s self-titled 1968 debut has long been at the top of many collectorâ??s want lists.Mad Riverâ??s tabs of tortured soulâ??cuts like the lysergic opening rush of â??Merciful Monks,â? the lengthy, labyrinthine â??The War Goes On,â? and the truly demented â??Amphetamine Gazelleâ?â??add up to one cathartic ride, a ride that psych-heads will be tripping all over themselves to take again and again. Sundazedâ??s exact reproduction of this lost classic is sourced directly from the original Capitol Records stereo masters. -
