'66 BREAKOUT! - A Shot Of 60's High Energy Vol.2

 

  The needle drops back onto the record.

  And the ride continues.

  The second volume of '66 BREAKOUT! stays true to the spirit of the series, rescuing some of the most vibrant, electrifying and infectious recordings of the sixties, when garage, beat, freakbeat and psychedelia were pushing rock 'n' roll into ever wilder territory.

  Twenty-four tracks from the United States, Britain, the Netherlands, Peru and Argentina, where essential names such as Count Five, The Golden Earrings, The Jay-Jays, The Lollipop Shoppe and David John & The Mood sit alongside a wealth of bands that left behind little more than one or two singles before disappearing. Together, they capture all the urgency, excitement and imagination of an unforgettable era.

  Fuzz-drenched guitars, beat harmonies, hypnotic organs, psychedelic melodies and powerhouse riffs follow one another across an hour with no room for filler. From raw garage to the earliest hints of hard rock and psychedelia, every track is a reminder that the sixties were about far more than the handful of classics everyone already knows.

  Twenty-four sonic explosions rescued from the underground of rock 'n' roll.

  Because before there were genres...

there were simply musicians turning up their amplifiers and pushing them as far as they would go.

Sesiones Marcianas #33 INSTROMANIA! 2

 

  No hacen falta palabras cuando son las guitarras las que hablan.

  Durante los años cincuenta y sesenta, la música instrumental vivió una auténtica edad de oro. Surf, rhythm & blues, rock'n'roll, jazz, exotica, twist y garage encontraron un lenguaje común donde riffs inolvidables, órganos Hammond, saxos incendiarios, baterías demoledoras y guitarras bañadas en reverb y fuzz ocupaban el primer plano.

  INSTROMANIA! 2 reúne veintiocho joyas instrumentales en las que la imaginación sustituye a las palabras. Desde pioneros como Link Wray, Bill Doggett, The Gamblers, Davie Allan & The Arrows o The Hollywood Persuaders, hasta una magnífica colección de rarezas firmadas por The Frantics, The Invaders, The Waikikis, The Moontrekkers, Les Guitares du Diable, Hal Blaine y Takeshi Terauchi, esta sesión recorre algunos de los rincones más apasionantes del rock instrumental.

  Por el camino aparecen ritmos frenéticos, guitarras cargadas de eco, tambores tribales, sonidos espaciales, melodías orientales, bailes hoy olvidados y alguna incursión en el surf, el spy jazz o la exotica. Un recordatorio de que, mucho antes de la llegada de los sintetizadores, los músicos ya eran capaces de convertir sus instrumentos en auténticos narradores.

  Veintiocho temas.

  Veintiocho historias.

  Ni una sola palabra.

  Porque cuando el groove es lo bastante bueno...

la mejor voz siempre será una guitarra al rojo vivo.
