OFF: Tape Swap Review

[gumby.telis]

This is the Gumby Man checking in for his quarterly post.

Just wanted to send out kudos to Doug Bates.  His "stream of
consciousness" tape was bizarre and fantastic.  I'm having trouble
listening to anything else right now.

The tape flows chronologically from the Sixties to the Nineties.  It
makes great usage of the fantasy and ambiance of the late 60's and early
70's, while including the oddness and fierceness of the 80' and 90's rock.

Highlights include:

Ultimate Spinach playing "Hip Death Goddess," Arthur Brown's "Time
Captives," Roky Erickson's "Stand for the Fire Demon," The Guess Who's
"Friends of Mine", Bauhaus' "Bela Lugosi's Dead," and The Rollins Band
slamming it in the listener's ears with "Ghostrider."  There's much more
on the tape (the full list is below).

It is a damn good mix of music; Doug did an outstanding job of choosing
songs that flowed together well.

The Gumby Man gives it two green thumbs up!

Stuart, the tape is on its way to you.  Be careful.  It's a musical
narcotic.

       some day coming - some day soon . . .
       Onto his shoulder, to carry me home;
       flying up through the silhouette trees and we'll be gone . . .
