the
DEEP “Psychedelic Moods of the Deep”
"The best Nuggets-era garage
album ever." —www.lysergia.com
Expanded deluxe edition of The
Deep's one and
only album, originally
released in 1966 and now
well-established as a psychedelic
classic. One night in a darkened
Philadelphia studio, the
Deep (Rusty Evans, songwriting
partner and producer Mark Barkan,
the legendary David
Bromberg, whose credits
include playing with Bob
Dylan and many others, plus a bevy
of talented musicians) laid
down tempestuous garage punkers,
sweetly-twisted ballads and
ambiguous weirdness, all rife with
hyper-psychedelic lyrical flashes of
a rolling midnight expressway
through the subconscious
mind. A perfect representation
of the psychedelic
sound: free-form poetry,
infectious drum beats, fuzzed out
guitar, and playfully plucked bass
(and vibes and tympani and so on),
swirl together, coalescing into some
of the most impressive psychedelic
rock you'll hear. Cuts like 'Your
Choice To Choose,' sound very
Seeds-like or proto-Velvet
Underground, Lou Reed snarl and all;
others like 'Shadows On The Wall'
and 'Wake Up and Find Me'
are haunting acid ballads: the
whole point of the album was to
thoroughly explore
the hallucinatory agony
and ecstasy of a
12-hour Technicolor dream...
although the end result is more
amphetamine edgy than acid-soaked
trippy. The Deep "Psychedelic Moods"
pre-dates its closest kindred sprit
in sound and energy (albeit not
subject matter): “The Velvet
Underground and Nico" came
along five months later, and the
world of music shifted on its
axis—but too late for the Deep.
This 3xLP release
of “Psychedelic Moods” is
taken from the original
four-track master
tapes. In addition to the
superlative master takes, there
are three sides of out-takes and
alternates from the
Deep original four-track
session tapes. This set also
marks the vinyl debut of all known
recordings by Inner Sanctum
(aka Hydro Pyro), another LSD
trip project produced by
Mark Barkan in
1966. Tip-on gatefold art has
liner notes detailing
the mysterious rise and fall of
this New York City band.
Made with full co-operation
of original Deep
producers, Mark Barkan and
Rusty Evans. A definitive example
of the psychedelic sound.
"Something of a psych fan's dream,
this LP was recorded in August 1966,
when the idea of a conceptual acid
album was completely uncharted
territory. Consequently, Rusty Evans
and his NYC ex-folkie pals managed
to create an LP that sounds fresh
many decades later. The twelve
tracks are essentially a series of
musical trip reports covering the
whole emotional spectrum, from chaos
and euphoria to introspection and
melancholy, with an intense,
challenging atmosphere." —Patrick
Lundborg, Acid Archives
