Vocokesh are
back with a new limited edition record out in only 200 copies on the cool
German label, Pure Pop for Now People. Side A starts with the song Theme from
Get on the Train. It is a shortish track with sitar and an eastern vibe, a bit
dark and mysterious. The next 3 tracks are all about 5 mins each starting with
Jam in D. Richard plays an amazing spaced out wah guitar solo on this track. Act
2, Eddie plays his Theremin is a very slow track with some crazy piano,
searching guitars and just a weird jam. The title track closes side A.
Side B starts
with Joe gets his Gun, which is a really slow super spacey instrumental version
of the classic, Hey Joe. Really cool guitar playing on this track. Music for a
really bad Spy Film is next. IT is a spacey noodling track with interesting
interaction with the two guitars and then a cool groove kicks in like some sort
of space psychedelic surf thing. Cool. Take the Slow Train has some really
psyched out guitar freakout stuff in the right channel while the left channel
guitar plays the freaky delay guitar part. Far out…
I actually
picked up the Electric Indian Blues record by Vocokesh that this label released
as well at the same time, before it goes out of print and it is also very cool.
Sadly, these are probably the last recordings with John Helwig, who played
guitar and bass on both these records, as he passed away in 2011.
