CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description Cauldron was Fifty Foot Hose's first and most famous recorded work, released on Limelight Records in 1968. Founded by Cork Marcheschi, the band played continuously around the Bay area of northern California throughout the mid-'60s. Marcheschi, who had developed a taste for R&B and the avant-garde music of composers such as Edgard Var?se, started out as the band's bass player, but his interest in experimental music prompted him to develop his own musical instrument, similar in function to the hybrid developed by Simeon Cox, and which was the underpinning of the Silver Apples' sound. The band played a lot of gigs, but the experimental nature of their music tended to perplex audiences unused to such sounds. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsGreat William R. Nicholas | Mahwah, NJ USA | 03/01/2009 (4 out of 5 stars) "Fifty Foot Hose is great San Fransisco psych. The music spans from jazzy grooves to Beefheat like riffing. They sound nothing like the Jefforson Airplane or the Greatful Dead; they are far more avant garde, more akin to Mad River, only more out there.
Fifty Foot's calling card is running strange electronic noises through each number--think Peire Henry on Spooky Tooth's ceramony. Yet these songs are sharp and lean. They work as songs themselves. The playing is chrisp and always hits its target. The production is actually very spare, with a very live sound, and this only highlights the bushels of electronic swiggles and swerves flying towards you. (A headphone album if there ever was one--and if anyone does that anymore.) This is truely wierd psychadella of high quality, made by and for freaks like me. Yuppie baby-boom nostalgia buffs need not apply." |
