Having played with Tomorrow, The Pretty Things, and The Pink Fairies, John "Twink" Alder will require no introduction to fans of underground rock. This mind-expanding new album finds him collaborating with highly regarded Italian psychedelic rockers, “The Techicolour Dream”. Recorded in Rome, mastered at Abbey Road, it’s sure to delight all lovers of psychedelic rock.
The album is fresh psychedelic folk with acid space referrals from the beginning to the end. A dark edge in some songs, is there to keep the whole album mysterious. Twink’s great vocals, with Marco Conti's aid, (also on bass) give the ethereal trippy psychedelic tone. Fabio Porretti's electric guitar gives the acid note to the whole album exceptionally, with his acoustic guitar keeping the psychedelic folk element in high standards. Last but not least Luciano Pavia on drums aided and assisted by Twink is completing the whole picture. If i had heard this LP without having any information i wouldn’t believe it is something made now. But then again John Alder comes from the beginnings of psychedelic history; in fact he's one of the milestones that never seize to amaze us with his inspiration, with a great choice of collaborators.
