Blue Phantom - Equilibrium, Compression & Distillation



























Equilibrium

Compression

Distillation

Tasty stuff from a band that did a lot in 1971 and very little after. It's a popular record for psych nerds to collect and the first two pressing (Italian and British) sell for about $100-200. The music is somewhere between Ennio Morricone-style Italian soundtrack music and traditional fuzzed out psych-garage music - fuzzy soundtrack music? The songs that I posted have the most cinematic stylings from the album, some of the other songs sound like they were made with a psych rock-cookie cutter that was collectively shared within Europe in the early 70s. Not a good look. Fortunately most of the album is good looking. Like a young Burt Reynolds.
