Ultimate Spinach

Ultimate Spinach - S/T // 1967 //   MGM Recs   

stand out tracks : Ego trip, your head is reeling, (Ballad of) The Hip Death Goddess

A very discreet band  with elements of san frascico late 60s psychedelic age or with a hint of Grateful Dead/Jefferson Airplane  if you will. Hailing from boston, Ultimate Spinach  throughout there's a heavy use of delay effects creating the illusion of a timeless hallocenigenic trip. "mind flowers" on their second album "Behold and See", is a fine example effects like distortion,  and delay, can conjure  up other worldly visuals with or without the use of  hallucinogenics. the whole album is worth a gander as it's seemingly a gateway to the psychedelic late 60s.





  Ultimate spinach - your head is reeling

Stockhausen explains

Not just an inspiration in performance but also in words.
