FIELDS - FIELDS (1969)

















Psychonauts rejoice! I discovered this obscurity during my lengthy high-atus (© The Good Captain), and the first coherent thought I had was that you lot would most certainly dig this record (especially Matias and the aforecredited Cap'n). The first side consists of shorter trips, toying with a touch of funk and fantastic four-string thump , but rockin' the whole way. The real meat of Fields, though, is its second side. "Love Is the Word" is a side-long suite that's rooted in a DOORS-with-distortion blues, but makes room for some soaring background vocals fit for Motown. The entire piece is insane. In closing, I think this is something that everyone on the 13th Floor needs in their collection. And remember...if it's too old, you're too loud!

1. Elysian Fields
2. Bide My Time
3. Take You Home
4. Jump on You
5. Sun Would Set
6. Love Is the World

Matias - thanks for the heads up. Should be tip-top now.

Anon - Thanks for the contributions. We'll get them posted ASAP. As for the 128kbps files, I've said it a million times, but if you lot want to band together and send me a huge external drive, I'll start posting at 192 and higher. 'Til then, I really don't feel like I owe anyone anything. Cheers.
