OFF: Wall of Sleep (are extremely cool)

[Carl E. Anderson]

        Apologies to those who have also seen this on IROCK ...

        Just got my copies of Bevis Frond's _London Stone_ and Wall of
Sleep's eponymous CD.  _London Stone_ is very cool, as I expected it
would be.

        I was taking a bit of a chance on Wall of Sleep and it paid off!
Wicked band!  Kind of like Pink Floyd being molested by (or perhaps
mutilated almost beyond recognition by) Black Sabbath and the MC5.
Very cool!  The sound is on the raw side, as you might expect from
Woronzow Records, but it's good--lots of heavy-as-sludge guitars,
strange effects, etc.  The lads are not the world's greatest vocalists,
but you don't really mind that.

        I recommend people into the somewhat heavier side of psych give
this one a go--a very worthwhile addition to the current generation of
the English psych scene..

Cheers,
Carl
