CANDIDA PAX      When in Rome, Candida Pax means White Peace, and if you're wondering what this obscure British psych band sounds like, Then Play On, as it's not unlike early-era Fleetwood Mac where the spirit of Peter Green carries on. Cool

CAPTAIN MARRYAT     Ahoy there shipmates! Captain Marryat were a Scottish band named after a novelist and Royal Navy officer of the 19th century. Captain Marryat sail a true and steady course through the stormy topographic oceans of prog, packing a powerful punch with heavy organ driven passages anchored with awesome vocal power, and delivered with all the full-force fire and fury of a cannonball hitting broadside amidships below the waterline! Geek

CHALLENGER'S     Oye Como Va! Challenger's were a band with a misplaced apostrophe and memorable for being the only known Psychedelic Rock band from the sun-blessed Caribbean island of Puerto Rico (ostensibly the USA's 51st state). If you like Santana, then you're gonna love the sound of Challenger's. Thumbs Up

CHARGE       A highly-charged, bluesy psych band from Great Britain's south coast with dreams of fame, fortune and hedonistic rock star excess, but for whom success proved elusive, having been ignored by all the major labels and with only 100 pressings of their album and the tragic death of their drummer, Charge are a long-forgotten footnote in Psychedelic Rock history. Until now, that is. Smile

THE CHARLATANS       The Quick and the Dead! The Charlatans were An American west coast Folk Rock band masquerading as a Psychedelic Rock band who were known for dressing as highfaluting Victorian dandies or quick-on-the-draw Wild West gunslingers, but what else would you expect from a band calling themselves The Charlatans. One thing's for sure, they wouldn't dare mess with Sharon Stone! Tongue

CHELSEA     Kiss and make-up! The short-lived band Chelsea are best-remembered now for being the first band to feature future Kiss drummer Peter Criss - and it was the real Peter Criss too, not some publicity-seeking imposter. Cool

CHICO MAGNETIC BAND      Think Jimi Hendrix combined with the added attraction of Santana, and that's the incredible sound of Chico Magnetic Band, or alternatively, a singer (Chico) with death throttle vocals, combined with pounding dunderhead drums and the awesome sound of a howlingly fierce shred guitar hardwired into the frontal lobes, which cycles through every emotion and every symbolic thrust against the gates of delirium with an overdose of LSD! Was that a word salad, or what? Geek

CHRISTOPHER     A bluesy psych band from South Carolina with two albums that are ultra-rare. Christopher's albums now sell for up to $4,000,  making them as rare as finding a hot dog stand in Jerusalem. I'm not sure if both Christopher albums are strictly kosher though, as the second album is quite possibly by a different band entirely. Shocked

CHURCHILL'S     Jam & Jerusalem! Churchill's were a strictly kosher band from Israel and quite possibly the only Psychedelic Rock outfit ever to emerge from the Holy Land. The band later changed their name to Jericho Jones when they realised that Churchill's name may not be too popular in downtown Tel Aviv. Shalom! Smile

A-Z of Psychedelic Rock

CIRCUS        The self-titled one and only album release from the English band Circus (1969) is a rare treasure and one of the earliest and finest examples of a genre that would later come to be defined as Jazz-Rock. The album features two wonderful cover versions of well-known songs by The Beatles and The Mama & the Papas.

The album opens with a terrific cover version of The Beatles "Norwegian Wood" which, dare I say it, is even better than the original. It's a perfect 7-minute-long introduction to the album and represents the best song on the album as a whole. There's a marvellously long instrumental build-up with some skilful fuzzy guitar riffs twinned with pleasantly understated and laid-back drumming. The music is overlaid with the sound of a saxophone, which is where the Jazz-Rock element comes into it. The real highlight of the song comes in the instrumental break in the middle section with repeated heavy guitar riffs and a powerful rhythm section which gathers in intensity and speed towards the conclusion. Track 2 "Pleasures of a Lifetime" is the longest song on the album at over 8 minutes in duration. It's a beautifully sweet-sounding song featuring warm and tender vocals and a gentle guitar, leaving one feeling in a pleasantly mellow mood. The mid-section features a Jazz break with some versatile saxophone playing and up-tempo drumming before returning to a more sedate and low-key pace for the song's finale. Track 3 "St. Thomas" is an uplifting and fast-paced instrumental Jazz number featuring some excellent work from the flautist, very reminiscent of Ian Anderson in Jethro Tull. Track 4 "Goodnight John Morgan" is another Jazz instrumental which continues at a more relaxed pace and features a very pleasant piano twinned with saxophone and gentle drumming which is easy on the ears. Track 5 "Father of My Daughter" is another soft and gentle song with pleasant-sounding vocals in similar vein to Track 2 and this very agreeable and laid-back number compliments the album nicely. The unusually titled "II B.S." is the next tune on the album, opening with strange sound effects, before launching into a fast-paced, 6-minute-long Jazz instrumental jam session, where the skilled musicians are giving free-rein to demonstrate their musical dexterity to the fullest extent. Track 7 features the second cover version on the album, "Monday Monday" by The Mamas & the Papas. Again, this very talented group of musicians demonstrate their prowess with the long and Jazzy instrumental introduction. The vocals kick-in about halfway through the song and it stands as a very worthy cover version of a great song. The final song "Don't Make Promises" rounds off the album beautifully with another nice gentle song featuring a masterly instrumental Jazz break midway through the song.

A superb album overall and highly recommended for fans of early Jazz-Rock. It's a must-have addition to any Jazz-Rock lover's album collection.

CIRCUS MAXIMUS       Originally named the Lost Sea Dreamers, the band were forced to change their name when their record company noticed the initials spelt "L.S.D." The renamed Circus Maximus are one of the best circus acts you're ever likely to hear, whereas Frenchman Philippe Petit's death-defying tightrope walk between the Twin Towers of the World Trade Centre is one of the best circus acts you're ever likely to see! Geek

THE CONTENTS ARE      A Psychedelic Rock band from the Quad Cities area, and if you know where that is, then I'm guessing you're either from one of the midwestern "flyover states" or you're a well-travelled person like Alaska governor and foreign policy expert Sarah Palin. Smile
