Silhouettes - Lunar Vision























Lunar Vision


I remember playing this in my car for a friend of mine who grunted and screamed all the way through. "Ohhhhhh shiiiiit, AHHHHHH" it certainly deserves the reaction. When I first heard this, another friend played it for me, and I pictured some obscure tribe in the jungles of Brazil with rusty analog gear to be responsible for this gem. But it's actually a group of five ghosts from L.A. "Lunar Vision" is as far as I know from their only album "Conversations with The Silhouettes" released in 1968. Most of the other tracks on the album have a west coast cocktail lounge vibe. Like a psyched out version of Sinatra - ehhhhhhh. This track is by far the album's best moment.
