The tracks range from folk rock to garage and heavier psych numbers, an incredible array of sounds, making for a wonderfully interesting listening experience. As always, many obscure bands are included
and serve as an excellent source for collectors, an incredible aid in their quest for lost gems and previously unknown acts alike. The sound quality of the recordings is remarkable, especially considering the rarity of many of the releases included. It is truly a futile effort to select particular tracks for specific recognition as the set includes a run of the gamut of every sort of psychedelia and beauty does indeed lie in the ears of the beholder.
21. VARIOUS - PSYCHEDELIC STATES: FLORIDA IN THE 60s Vol. 4 2015
Totaling twenty-six tracks, “Psychedelic States: Florida In The 60’s Vol. 4” actually caters to the teen garage rock sounds of the era rather than acid-drenched dementia. Untrained and untamed, but quaking
with enthusiasm, the bands heard on the disc relied on little more than a few standard chords to carry their songs, while roller rink keyboards and thrashing drums complete the scene. Rock and roll was meant to be fun and simple, and “Psychedelic States: Florida In The 60s Vol. 4” ideally illustrates the right attitudes and motives behind the efforts of these bands whose hearts were true and whose contributions are an important part of musical history.

24.VARIOUS - PSYCHEDELIC STATES: THE DAKOTAS IN THE 60s 2020
While none of the acts appearing on ‘Psychedelic States: Dakotas In The 60s’ achieved mainstream
success, a number of these entries did net regional recognition and are remembered fondly by those who were there. Unlike recent times, back in the sixties, local radio stations supported their homegrown artists by airing their vinyl efforts and gigs were plenty, leading many bands to be looked upon as real deal superstars in and around their vicinity. Striking a taunting swagger, ‘Watch Me’ by the Tracers signs on as a memorable cut on the collection, along with a pair of brash and brawny tunes from the Embermen Five – ‘Fire In My Heart’ and ‘Baby I’m Forgettin’ You’ – as well as ‘Ride On’ from the
Torres that resonates with poptastic melodies and achingly boyish vocals. Other strong songs on ‘Psychedelic States: The Dakotas In The 60s’ are the stirring acid-laced rock of ‘I Love Life’ by the Dischords and ‘Did Ya Need To Know?’ from Dale Gregory & the Shouters, which hammers a thumping Bo Diddley inspired beat to a splash of quirky guitar and piano interludes.

The majority of selections spread across these platters creak and squeak with youthful charm and naivity.

raw-boned singing and playing, pose as picture-perfect illustrations of genuine garage rock. A couple of basic guitar chords, snaring hooks, rickety keyboard arrangements, the shaking of a tambourine and feral drumming complete the enthused energy propelling the tunes. Reams of static fuzz licks carpet ‘I’m Gonna Stay’ by the Moxies, the Clock Work Orange’s ‘Do Me Right Now’ projects an edgy urgency, ‘Say Now Baby’ from the Jades logs on as a staggering rampage of distorted jamming, ‘I Realize’ by the Casuals is highlighted by a swinging break, and the Elite UFO’s ‘Now Who’s Good Enough’ is practically a step by step rehash of ‘Louie Go Home’ from Paul Revere and the Raiders.
