V/A - PASSED NORMAL" VOL. 6&7

This two-CD collection of mostly unavailable recordings offers something for all who like their music on the fringe. Canterbury and space/psychedelic sounds are represented by Short Wawe, (featuring Hugh Hopper, ex-Soft Machine), Didier Malherbe (ex Gong), Pip Pyle and Phil Miller (both ex-National Health/Hatfield and the North), Daevid Allen & the Magic Brothers (former Gong members do space rock cum Terry Riley).The rest floats between avant rock, lo-fi improv to the Balinese Monkey chant.

To call this anthology eclectic is quite the understatement. Nimbus sound like a mixture of Univers Zero and Von Zamla (which is to say, they are terrific!), whereas Maestro Subgum & the Whole does an a cappella number that sounds like an avant rock version of the Bobs. Glenn Philips dishes up some solid rock guitar with a slightly quirky edge, while Mike Hovancsek cranks out cosmic third worldisms with electronics and home-made/found instruments. All this plus Pere Ubu, the Sediments, Peter Blegvad, the Clubfoot Orchestra, Arthur Brown, Amy Denio, Ron Geesin and many more...
