Synopsis

Product Description

Released in 1968 by a group of Oberlin College students and pressed in very limited numbers (i.e. 500 copies), 24 Hours is a blend of folk, blues, jazz and eastern psychedelia. Songs on the album explode with originality, with meditative pieces like Pale Shades Of Gray and it's eerily beautiful melody or Elaborations, a lengthy raga-ish instrumental with some very effective flute. Just one look at the tripped out psychedelic cover is enough to guarantee that the music contained within the confines of this album is a mind blowing artifact of the 60's counterculture. Comes with faithfully reproduced original graphics as well as liner notes and photos detailing the short lived but amazing story of Ant Trip Ceremony.

CD Reviews

EERIE PSYCH

Stephen M. Amy | Portland, OR United States | 01/25/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The singer in this band is great, great! I like Psych that is more in the mode of sugarcube music, as opposed to the raucousness of Garage, and this singer embodies otherworldliness! Just listen to "Pale Shades of Gray"- real spooky singing, man. Real Ethereal. A lot of the tracks on the album rock-out somewhat, but the rhythm is subservient to the mood- guitars sound somewhat distant and chime like the bells of a haunted church. Low-fi recording- but not low-fi enough to diminish enjoyment- heighten the Psych effect. And has a cover of the greatest song written in the '60s- maybe ever- Eric Anderson's "Violets of Dawn". Doesn't cut Anderson's version- would be hard to do that- but is real good. Nice woodwind break on that track."

Great!

"One of the best! This band only made one record in the 60's, and only 300 copies of it! I can't belive thay made this CD! WOW"
