ONTOPIC: die kop komt me enigszins bekend voor maar wie? Extreem wilde gok: Tim Buckley?

, by rights, should be regarded as one of the giants of '60s rock, not far behind the likes of Bob Dylan and Paul Simon in importance. He was a very audible sessionman on some of the most important records of mid-decade, including Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone." also joined and led, and then lost two major groups, the Blues Project and Blood, Sweat & Tears.

As a producer at Columbia, he signed the British invasion act the Zombies just in time for them to complete the best LP in their entire history; and still later, discovered Lynyrd Skynyrd and produced their best work.

Instead, in terms of public recognition, has been relegated to second-rank status, somewhere midway between John Mayall and Steve Winwood. Apart from the fact that he's made, and continues to make great music, it's the public's loss that he's not better respected outside the ranks of his fellow musicians.

Het is Al Kooper! Speelt ook mee op Thelonious Monster's Adios Lounge.

Issuing a double album in the 21st century, with increasing industry focus on single tracks and ringtones, seems crazy at best, pretentious at worst. , the fifth album by , proves that assertion to be dead wrong. This band has stubbornly followed an inner sense of direction that embraces paradox while using the very best of what rock & roll has to offer in order to create powerful music.

's 24 tracks are spread over two discs and its total playing time at over 90 minutes makes it longer than the Who's Quadrophenia or Pink Floyd's The Wall.

They flit from hook-laden, psych-heavy guitar rock, a layered '60s-style uptempo pop that owes as much to Ray Davies and the Kinks, to the grandness of Arthur Lee and Love, as well as Townshend's gang, Syd Barret's Floyd, and the crunchy, soaring guitar rock of Television. And even as drenched in the past as this music is, it is utterly contemporary and relevant.

is easily the most consistent yet visionary and expansive recording have released yet, and proves beyond the shadow of a doubt, they are, even without mass acceptance, an impressively grand rock band; they freely use rock's rich history not to make reference to their own record collections, but rather to further its reach, and that of expression itself, as necessary parts of everyday life.

Ebbot Lundberg (vocals) and Bjorn Olsson (guitar) were founders of the wildly exciting Swedish band Union Carbide Productions, which recorded several albums that mixed Captain Beefheart and punk (think Stooges) to wonderful effect in the late '80s. Eventually Ian Person joined Union Carbide Productions on guitar.

By this point, however, Lundberg was becoming influenced by Love and other late-'60s psych-pop bands and was steering the band in this direction, causing friction within the band.

After several albums in this new direction, Union Carbide Productions imploded, and band members went in their own directions. Lundberg, Olsson, and Person reunited in 1995 and started the band , which mines the '60s psych vein in unique, unpredictable, and interesting ways.

One of the better, but overlooked groups of the grunge era, made a name for themselves with aggressive yet melodic albums like 1993's Dragline and 1995's Death to Traitors. Lackluster sales caused their label, A&M, to drop them, and it seemed like the group had dropped off the face of the earth as well. However, resurfaced in 2000 with original members Mark Hennessy and Grant Fitch and new recruits Jesse Larson and Jason Magierowski. Their third album, Home Is a Strange Place, was released in mid-2000 by Koch Records.
