There is NO LIGHT at the end of this tunnel! 'Brown Acid: The Nineteenth Trip' fires ten more savage nails deep into the coffin of '60s psychedelic idealism. This series is THE premier top dog journey into the rarest and most wasted early local eruptions of heavy rock, unleashed at a time when harsh reality, human nature and disillusionment drove prevailing underground rock glimpses of a 'better' world into ever darker selfabsorbed comedowns. Mind expanding '60s love energies transform into toxic aggression right before your ears!
The great thing is that these moves are totally justified, 'we are all one' is cosmically good in theory but 'get it while you can' ends up perhaps better advice in the light of human history. Both of those angles of awareness can coexist, some of these bands deliver unrelenting sideways positive energy but they aren't over-thinking it, they are youthfully driven by hunger for life and satisfying the undeniable urges their DNA thrusts upon them.
Sonically, the results in the 'Brown Acid' series never fail to breathe hot and heavy, the guitars kill it every time, the variety of approaches these tracks take keep the scenery shifting into new places. The key element that makes this stuff so potent is that THEY (the bands) are in control. Captured genuinely with no compromise, right out of the gate. No doubt they had ambition with high hopes for the future when they laid down these primal efforts, the fact that they captured their energy so vividly at a moment in time when the only direction imaginable was UP creates a hard hitting life affirming subtext to the proceedings.
That is the core energy of blues and rock and roll, dealing with the struggles of existence by flipping a gigantic 'what the fuck' high energy bird right in the face of the moronic defective reality these bands were born into. If you take this stuff too 'seriously' you are utterly missing the point, it is beyond analysis, it is life itself! No amount of thinking will get you there quicker! 'Brown Acid: The Nineteenth Trip' is scary... the bottomless pit of deranged vintage heavy rock the series presents continually expands over time... one deadly dose too many and you might be trapped in the bad trip loop forever... enjoy it or lose your mind!
