The HEAD CD by Psychic Trance Fur is psychedelic, strange, introspective, intense and yet mellow, an often dramatic blend of sysths and guitars, softly sung or spoken vocals, sometimes wildly insane, yet more often relaxing. It is always interesting for those who take the time to really listen to the subtle nuances. And speaking of time, this album was recorded by Darren Weight (right) and Koda (left) over a period of seven years, with "Hike Like a Tree" alone requiring four months of full time work. (Try to count the number of subtle background tones in that song and you'll understand why.) The album begins with the title track, "Head," a mind-twisting head trip that starts out slow and ponderous, asking questions like, "What subatomic quantum leap from nerve to mind forms this consciousness inside my head?" From there the song explodes into a cruising rock section with a brief but exciting guitar lead. Contrast that song with "Sea of Dreams," where an old woman reminesses about the innocense of her childhood, "Electromagnetic Love" and its description of the technology involved in a phone sex conversation, and "Wind and Sea," a New Age sounding instrumental with an acoustic guitar lead -- a song which brings to mind a storm approaching then passing over a rocky ocean shoreline. Enough talk. Have a listen and decide for yourself if this is the kind of artistic music you can appreciate. Click song titles to hear complete songs and access lyric pages.
