Vanilla Fudge



Ok, so i just got back Tuesday from a six day trip to Seattle for a Sarah's sisters wedding and man was it a blast. On the way north i stopped in yreaka ca. this town is smaller than small. the thrift stores were too. I don't have much luck with finding records that i want and when i do they are totally thrashed. I came across a few gems ...Vanilla Fudge vanilla fudge Renaissance was one of em. they do a really RAD version of Donovan's "season of the witch" The guitar slays my thoughts leaving them to then be melted by the distant rippling vocals and various sound scape. listening to this album makes me feel like i took a hit of LSD. If you've heard this one before you know what i mean. one of my personal favorites.

THIRD MOVEMENT
"Consciousness expansion a reprimand
where is the consciousness to expand
to say and do both is a difficult game
where is the one who's both are the same
Looks aren't deceiving when vibrations are seen
But looks are just looking through the translucent screen..."

SIDE 1
1. the sky cried-when i was a boy
2. thoughts
3. paradise
4. that's what makes a man
SIDE 2
1. the spell that comes after
2. faceless people
3. season of the witch
