...if I may quote an old Forced Exposure review of the Melvins. I just wanted to say that the legit reissue of Randy Holden's (Blue Cheer/The Other Half) Population II is finally out. Autographed by the man himself on the front cover in gold marker nonetheless. This 1970 piece of heaviosity was recorded by Randy and drummer Chris Lockheed in an opera house with walls of Sunn amps (pictured below) and stands as a singular vision of poetry and pure guitar beauty able to even stand up to Jimi's finest moments at times. It also kicks major ass. Click to hear "Fruit and Iceburgs" (Real Audio).
sweet. gonna have to order a copy.
thanks for the head's up.
