This album was to be released by Warner Brothers in 1967. It's easy to see why they may have thought it wouldn't sell, but it's a shame, it was way ahead of it's time. Patrick Kilroy, Susan Graubard and Jefferey Stewart weave a mystical, raga inspired L.P. somewhere between 'Astral Weeks' and mid period Bert Jansch.

Open tunings, bells, sitar, tons of flute, heavy lyrics, improvisation...it's all here.

The bonus tracks are from a KPFA-FM radio broadcast in Berkeley, recorded before the album sessions.

Lovely, ominous, wobbly vintage electronica. Cassette tape damage and hauntology.

ROBBIE BASHO - LIVE IN GERMANY

Unreleased (Recorded 1980)

01. Redwood Ramble
02. Fandango
03. Easter
04. Rocky Mountain Raga
05. Cathedral et Fleur de Lis
06. Chocolate Cake (Ackermann Special)
07. Silky Jane
08. The Grail & The Lotus
09. Pavan India
10. Variations On Clare de Lune

We haven't had any Basho for a while, so here's an amazing live set recorded live at the Kulturforum, Bonn, Germany. It's the same source as the 'Bonn Ist Supreme' album released on Bo'Weavil Recordings in 2008.

Contains tracks that never appeared on any of Basho's studio L.P.'s, and the version here of 'Pavan India' is stunning.
