Timemazine is a
fantastic full colour magazine about psychedelic rock. The main focus is
digging up old folks from obscure 60s bands and interviewing them about what it
was like back then and now for them.
Lots of amazing stories from bands that I have never heard of as some
are quite obscure and others more famous.
I really enjoyed this issue a lot with interviews with JR Nichols from
The beat of the Earth, Roy Blumenfeld from the Blues Project, Dan Norton from
Expedition to Earth, and Damian Bell fro Maypole. A long interview with Klaus
Esser who played in the early Amon Duul was very interesting. Also covered are some of the new bands like
Atomic Simao, Dury Dava, De Loirans, Dire Wolves….. also lots of contemporary album reviews. My fave article
this issue though is the 1968 psych overview. Wow.. so many cool records came
out that year. I have to say I have not heard that many of the ones covered
though. The magazine comes with a CD compilation packed full of cool music as
well as a 7” vinyl edition of the mag. This month it is the Greek Psych band,
Crystal Thoughts. You can get a copy at the link below.
