love that "wet" guitar sound. it was 3-5 years after the genres heyday, but you can definitely hear the surf influence

that's why US garage is superior to the Brit Invasion Beat. The reverberated surf guitar bred with the new English Sounds. It's magical still.

Part of that is the classic tank reverb "clapback", which, as of five or so years ago is fully replicable in a pedal: there's a chain of transistors that can be used for all sorts of hard-to-replicate-digitally analogue effects. But anyway, that's only part of the wetness: I'd love to figure out what else the guitar is using.

Genius track. Love The Human Expression and their Psychedelic GaragePunk sound!
Simply awesome. There are times when I "see" colors when I play or listen to music. This song captures that better than any other I can think of. Peace :)

It is called "synesthesia" (US English) or "synaesthesia" (UK). It also happens to me, and somewhat more intensely with some specific psychedelic songs (this one is included). You may have a look here. for a start: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synesthesia😎

"Oh, colored pills I've found" turns out he was singing "Alternatives I've found". I guess that's what you could interpret here with a great psychedelic tune and no lyric sheet, which the Nuggets CD collection didn't come with. No complaint, if I can find a way I'm taking the whole Nuggets comp with and beyond the grave with me.

Similar vibrations to the Velvets' 'Venus in Furs', but somewhat uptempo. Still sounds futuristic.

Psychedelic indeed because optical sounds in the mind beyond imagination is what's taking place. Of course it has a bit of the Surf wet guitar sound. But this great song explores other dimensions as well.
To think this band was ended because one of the members smashed the guitarists hand with a door lodging it into glass somehow severing tendons and arteries. These guys coulda went on to real fame but a stupid accident put an end to it

great band responsible for many top notch garage & psych gems but sadly not known as well they should have been.because this band were special for me sadly the originals are too dear for me to get but this band are in my top 20 garage/psych bands ive ever heard in my life & ive heard many.but this band always stayed with me as do many but no band sounds like this band & thats why i love it they love the old oil can reverb & fuzz with tape echo.then they go at it with the garage fire you love & they turned down the song born to be wild.but the song they did do by mars bonfire was a winner all the way.for me a very special band great post peace...

yeah for putting down the digital vinyl reissues by sony emi & universal i have had my playlists put in an invisible side room if i press library my lists reappear on the left hand side.but if anyone looks i have no playlists they also cut my 10.000 garage punk psych rarities list into 4.8 k so ive lost 4200 gems on that list.i actually left some comments on discogs saying i was gonna start a campaign to stop the abuse of musical history these labels are doing.because every digital vinyl reissue ive compared has had criminal multiple overdubs purely to hide digital tech,s inferior sound spectrum,then 3 days later my account was decimated.im gonna email you tube this has obviously been done deliberately by one of the people that work for sony emi or universal that get paid to block & as ive been told by many dj,s bug up their playlists so each song cuts out to put people off of listening to their playlists.but now ive learned they bug up your account simply for saying the truth.yeah ive been working with so many people doing this & my list had 1.9 million views & after a you tube update i had 1.6 million views lol.but this is sly as fuck i did 18 playlists from over 30 years of searching the small independent labels but i did it all from original vinyl.yeah im really gutted bolt i put so much work into building these lists i feel like ive been violated & to top it off some dj has copied my name the cheeky fucker lol.i sent him a message & he has ignored it.ive got a band name as well but im only gonna use it when i upload more of our jams but its looking good playing hard & feeling it lol.but im noticing bands today steal old bands names so im not using it yet lol peace...
