Mushrooms & Glazed Donuts....

My ongoing fascination with the Oakland / San Francisco Krautrockers?, Mushroom, continues....This record / cd was released in 2004 on the Black Beauty label and contains all instrumental tracks with the first disk titled "LONDON". It reflects Mushroom's infatuation with various strains of British psychedelia, prog rock and folk-rock. Gotta put that electric harpsichord and Mellotron to use, bro. Pitch-perfect homages to Ummagumma-era Pink Floyd, Pentangle, early King Crimson and The Wicker Man soundtrack mark some of this CD's highlights. Again the tracks are strung together as one long track....it works quite well! See what you think.
