Biography
Finally after fifteen years the music on the four CD's that was originally sold at the MG’s gigs and widely bootlegged has been re-mastered and released as mp3 and CD (CD in America only but available as import). Containing a mix of studio and live recordings, which do vary in quality due to the original analogue tapes and state of mind of the recording engineer at the live events. Not for everyone you must understand but if you’re into the excellent ‘Acid Mothers temple’ this may be for you.
Info: One of the best British underground neo psychedelic progressive rock groups of the late 90’s to come out of Leeds, perhaps too underground for their own good as they never signed to a major record deal but had a large following of spores around the country.
Extensive touring gave them energy and a freak-out in their live sound quite unlike their peers always unfashionable and always unapologetic for it. Influenced by a real mix of bands; Hawkwind, Amon Duule 2, Can, Tangerine Dream, Jimi Hendrix, Big Black, Stooges, Velvet Underground, Pere Ubu, Neu!, Captain Beefheart and of course early Pink Floyd. They where born in the wrong era but still die hard hippies; substance abuse brought an untimely end to the band.
