Louise Le May - Tell Me One Thing That is New

A discovery via The Curve Ball, this intricate, gentle, and delightfully English singer/songwriter/pianist is one I gladly call a cyberfriend. Comparison points are more or less nonexistent; you'll just have to listen for yourself.

Sir Psych - Hello Echo

A cyberfriend's latest. Enjoy!

Cream - Disraeli Gears

Sometimes, a tried and true classic is all you need.

Paperhead - Nicolaus Tuvek's Next Move

The psychedelic work of a long-time cyberfriend (under "Cellophane Rechordings"). Enjoy!

Sondra Sun-Odeon - Ætherea

My thanks to Jasmine Dreame for passing this one along. Great other-worldliness. I don't know if I can describe this any further. Have a listen.

Juana Molina - Segundo

My thanks to Radioshoes for featuring this album in an installment of his radio show. How do I begin to describe this psychedelicized, gentle songwriter from Argentina? Like that, I suppose. Just listen, on MySpace. I think you'll remain interested, whether or not you know the language. (As I'm preparing to post this, Chrome is giving me a "Malware ahead"! message over the MySpace player. Bizarre....)

The Association - Birthday

Conceivably the harmony-pop band's masterpiece. Soaring, dreamy, other-worldly group vocal bliss. And great lyrics of Sixties love. This album really ought to have made it into one of Lucy in Cyberspace's "Eight Favorite Albums" posts. Maybe it's time for a third such installment. Anyway, enjoy!

"I took off my watch and found I have all the time in the world."

Firesign Theatre - How Can You Be in Two Places at Once When You're Not Anywhere at All

Psychedelic and comedic spoken word. I think that describes it. Kind of.

Rainbow Ffolly - Sallies Fforth (video removed....)

Here's a delightfully playful pop album from 1968, full of great melodic songwriting, random soundbites, a sense of bouncy fun so rare in music, and a rather raw sound that can be attributed to the fact that the album was released before it was finished, so the mix can sound incomplete at times, particularly on the rocker "Hey You". Still, a great listen that even Grumpy Cat could get into (if only because one song is titled "No").

"I'm so happy to be loving you!"

The Aerovons - Resurrection

I've known the magical opening track from this album for a few years, but I'm only hearing the rest of it now. The resemblance between the title track and "Across the Universe" is quite stark, and now "Say Georgia" immediately calls "Oh! Darling" to mind. Make no mistake: these St. Louisians (is that how you say that?) had one fixed target when they hopped the pond to Abbey Road studios in London (and reportedly made off with some of the Fabs' equipment!). A "fab" listen so far indeed. Hear it now through the magic of YouTube.

"It's a new world of you, and I'm just a stranger here..."
