Kikagaku Moyo!! Akineton Retard!!

Many thanks to Bruce McEwen for hipping me to and supplying the new Kikagaku Moyo EP as the Opening Feature. The Closing Feature is an LP released 2 years ago by Chilean band Ankineton Retard - great heavy jazz.
Starting out with a look at the latest EP from Japanese psych band Kikagau Moyo - they've been around since 2013, picking up where Ghost left off, albeit in a less experimental vein.

Into a few 'miscellaneous sets, moving us slowly from the psych vein to some harder-rocking stuff, starting with a 1969 release from unheralded guitar wizard Harvey Mandel.

Harvey Mandel - Games Guitars Play
Where is Happiness
Vanilla Fudge - Near the Beginning
Blood of the Sun
Mountain - Twin Peaks
Bulldozer
Offenbach - Soap Opera Canadian
Toronto's Tontos
Max Webster - S/T Canadian
Entrenched in the hard-rockin' mid-70's material (with even a few Klassik Rawk bands in there)... and moving towards some closer-to-recent stoner heaviness...
All in Your Mind
Mahogany Rush - Maxoom Canadian
Theta Wave Inductor
Litmus - You Are Here
To Be Real
Liquid Visions - From The Cube
Mass Meteoric Mind
La Otracina - Reality Has Got To Die
Time for the latest edition of the Merrie Mack (Mary Mackinnon RIP), starting with some mellower material, then hitting some of the more experimental stuff, like an interesting Collaboration between jazzists ICP, New York noisters Sonic Youth and Dutch punks The Ex!
Karma
Fursaxa - Lepidoptera
Cruel Storm
Espers - II

Brian Eno - Another Day on Earth (2005)

Time to pull out all the stops on the stoner/jam vibe!!
Live II
Papir - Live at Roadburn
Posession
Exploding Meet - Madison Shadwell Canadian
Time Traveller
Space Debris - She's a Temple
From Neo-psych/kraut/stoner to some obscure Belgian prog , then veering into jazz/rock/fiusion territory.
Test about a Rehabilitating Personality
Lagger Blues Machine - Tanit Live
Dragon Song
John McLaughlin - Devotion
Now into the final feature - the newest release (2015) from a great heavy-jazz band from Chile known as Akineton Retard. Touted as Neo-RIO... well, I'm not sure about that, but it's pretty phenomenal stuff. Drummer-led, too! And just so's y'know, their name has nothing to do with ancient Egypt or politically incorrect references to a mental state... Akineton Retard is an international brand name for the drug biperiden, an anticholinergic and anti-Parkinson's agent used as an adjunct in the therapy of all forms of Parkinsonism; control of extrapyramidal symptoms secondary to antipsychotics.
