I first heard this unique album in the late 80s.  I'm not sure who they are or what they are.

I am listening to "Bedlam" now. Might give a review later.

Mix of political statement,soundcollages, and humour.

One of those very rare things: a CANADIAN exploito "psych" lp on a budget label.

Exploito-psych is a milieu that suits me and one I am very familiar with.

Crazy People was a johnny Kitchen project most likely. Others he made were Victims of Circumstance (or is it Consequence?) and the Blues Train lp (which I am still looking for). Session men ,one would think.

Other North American psych-novelty effects records of this early period that one should look into would be The Mesmerizing Eye and Unfolding.

Okay. It is less than 30 minute lp and Ive heard it all now.
(As I am on dial-up, I have no idea what you posted in that video/sound?? clip.)


I was wrong about the political commentary - there is none.

Also, if any session men were used at all, its only in a three/four minute organ bit at the very beginning on the "Parade of Crazy People" - or something like that track - not that there are any distinct tracks here: everything runs together.

After 10 minutes, this soundcollage ( think "Revolution No. 9" with Wildman Fisher's voice coming in and out) gets quickly tiresome.

In the true spirit of shady exploito production its a wonder they did not get sued at some point for copyright - everything is sampled, from jazz, to classical to Beach Boys-like pop, to Winchester Cathedral to Camp Town Races done on jew'sharp!

Soundeffects thrown in with no rhyme or reason.

Basically a sonic mess.
