O.P.M.C.

Amalgamation (1971)





















Beautiful Dutch/ UK psychedelic folk with long tracks full of 60's vibe and drugged-out spacy guitar.

This international underground association was centered around Barrie Webb (from Scotland) and Teun van der Slikke. They wrote friendly, rural hippie folk songs with strange lyrics, as illustrated by "I'll Just Sit Here And Dream". You may be able to detect a dim, drug-induced aura, vaguely reminiscent of Love's Forever Changes, although musically this is much more sparse. Amalgamation is indeed a very good album strong on haunting melodies and a delayed late sixties atmosphere.

01. Ouverture
02. I'll Just Sit Here and Dream
03. Balad of the Sun
04. The Head
05. Sick and Tired
06. Train Thing
07. Easter Song
08. Cambridge Impressions
09. Song for Mariolijn
10. Fire Child

The Cooley & Munson LP has been recently reissued on vinyl by Guerssen Records in Spain.
Buy a copy and do they a favour because the people of Guerssen are true fans of music.
Cheers
