About this product
Noon Garden is an exotic psych-pop odyssey from one of the founding members of Flamingods. Drawing on worldly sounds from the likes of Francis Bebey and Dur Dur Band to Shintaro Sakamoto, tearing up the sonic rule book and conjuring up a distant land where you find yourself cutting loose to grooves that meander their way through a wide spectrum of African disco, funk, exotica and psychedelia.. British born with Nigerian & Jamaican heritage, Prest spent his childhood living in Bahrain surrounded by people, like himself, who were all living on an island away from their homeland. Seeing the world from a young age and the experience of 10 years of globe-trotting touring with Flamingods are imprinted on his new project and have been a huge influence on shaping Noon Garden's tropical adventurism. As a talented multi-instrumentalist Charles has written, self-produced and played all the parts himself. Noon Garden says of the album InchThis debut was an experiment to get to know myself better.. Writing music is a therapeutic process for me and it's taken about eight years on and off to finish this album by myself, to try understand what it was exactly that I wanted to say lyrically and explore sonically. The album's lyrics have shape-shifted so much with time but they take a curious look at the human experience; in my case growing up and soaking up a lot of cultures from an early age in the Middle East, the UK and briefly in Singapore.. All of this told through the lens of psychedelia which has always given me a sense of possibility..InchSide A 1. Beulah Spa 2. Decca Divine 3. Desiree 4. Budaiya 5. Annapurna Guest House Side B 6.

Re-issue 2024, ltd 300, 425gsm heavy cardboard cover, insert, poster, Remastered and restored by Patrick W. Engel at TEMPLE OF DISHARMONY in March 2024. When Nottinghamshire's Witchfynde, originally conceived as long ago as 1975, issued their debut album »Give 'Em Hell« on Rondelet Records in 1980, they quickly became one of the most popular bands of the exploding NWOBHM movement. After a few headlining shows, Steve Bridges (vocals), Montalo (guitars), Andro Coulton (bass) and Gra Scoresby (drums) hooked up with unlikely tour associates Def Leppard for a successful series of dates in the UK. However, all was not well in the Witchfynde camp when it became time to work on the follow-up to »Give 'Em Hell« towards the end of 1980. Original bass player Andro Coulton explains Inch»Stagefright« wasn't a great time for me. I recorded the bass on three of the songs, 'Wake Up Screaming', 'In The Stars' and 'Wouldn't Be Seen Dead In Heaven', but I left the band before any more songs were recorded. It got worse afterwards as I found out that I was not ever acknowledged as playing on the album sleeve notes. Also they released a single 'In The Stars' and 'Wake Up Screaming' with Pete Surgey's (new bass player) face on it!Inch It's fair to say that »Stagefright« was indeed a departure from the heavy occult rock leanings of »Give 'Em Hell« following a rather more lightweight direction with accessible compositions such as InchTrick Or TreatInch, InchMoon MagicInch, InchBig DealInch or the outright ballad InchMadeleineInch. However, being described as Inchsemi-popInch by critics such as NWOBHM expert Malc Macmillan did not really do the album justice. Canadian author Martin Popoff, however, sees the album in a different light (in his book »The Collector's Guide To Heavy Metal«) InchStrange, endearing, bumbling, but when all is said and done, »Stagefright« becomes the best Witchfynde
Gilead Media is stoked to finally present To the Rind, the debut full-length recording from New Orleans project Big Garden. Through a heavy dose of 90's alt & indie inspiration, the band has crafted powerful ear-worms of riffs and reverb, heavy on melody and impassioned songwriting. An album unique in the present day that scratches an itch deep in your music listening soul.Songwriter Mitch Wells started Big Garden during the height of the Covid pandemic as a quarantine outlet, a personal project to focus on during a troublesome time. As the world began to recover Wells brought his long-time bandmate from sludge/doom band Thou, Matthew Thudium, on board to contribute vocals and guitar for the band. Big Garden is now a full 5-piece band with the addition of Greg Manson (bass/synth), Ian Paine-Jesam (drums/percussion), and Craig Oubre (guitar/vocals) to flesh out the lineup.To the Rind is a wonderful love letter to, and evolution from, the great grungy, gazey, riffy, mathy, and spacey sounds of the past carried through a modernized songwriting approach. Wells' lyrics broach heavy personal topics familiar to so many of us. The ends of relationships, the anxiety of change, and wondering Inchcan I start over? Do I deserve a chance to start over?Inch And coming to face the fear of failure and the depression that surrounds it all. Big Garden was founded as the channel for these complicated feelings.InchTurns out writing songs is a great way to work through some stuff. It doesn't fix anything, but it sorta lays it all out there.InchAnd horror movies of course, you gotta write some tunes about horror movies.1. A Sliced Up Pear2. My Joy / Little Bliss3.

Sgt. Pepper taught a lot of bands to play in 1967, including New York's Paper Garden, whose attempt at a Fab Four-esque Summer of Love statement came out on Musicor Records the following year. Not nearly as sophisticated as the Beatles ' but equally ambitious, the album and it's kaleidoscopic essence get the proper reissue treatment on this 180-gram vinyl edition-sourced from the original master tapes and complete with the ultra-cool color-burst cover likely drawn under a pseudonym by Australian artist Martin Sharp of Disraeli Gears fame!
