Music Forge Your Own Chains: Heavy Psychedelic – Ballads And Dirges 1968-1974 – 2xLP

“Funky psychedelia , heavy psychedelic ballads and dirges from 1968 to 1974, American gospel, paranoiac soul, loner folk, East-Nigerian fuzz, Thai rock, Iranian ballads and more!”

Forge Your Own Chains showcases music from all corners of the world: Colombia, Nigeria, Sweden, South Korea, Thailand and Iran.

The focus is on melody, driving rhythms and accessibility. Not one song is included on this compilation because it is from a “rare” album.

Certainly, many of these songs do spring from albums that exchange hands for many thousands of dollars and many of these songs have never seen reissue. But these songs are all beautiful in their own right and work to form a coherent album.
