Comments: Great site!
Gotta love Roy. His music has been touching those places of mine that other songwriters never quite reach for about 4 years now. Oo-er indeed!
Saw him on tour in 2003 when he was promoting his lyric book. "Me & My Woman"...in full...Matt Churchill on second guitar...grown men were weeping! As for the rendition of "One Man Rock 'n' Roll Band", who let Zeus up onstage for a jam?!
Good to see Mr. Moonkyte himself Dave Stansfield contributing to the Terrascope a bit down the page! Is the reissue of "Count Me Out" any closer to being released? Been after this album for an eternity so delighted to read that it's gonna be available again.
Keep up the good work guys!

Comments: I enjoyed reading the last interview with John Cipollina.
I knew John for a while, and I've a few quick messages about him and some of his band mates, and humor illustrated spool of 70s houseboat memories - stories of kooky acid head characters and cool cats like JC
http://www.livejournal.com/users/crow_fjord/1454.html
The possibility of a second killer Copperhead album - as JC was
talking about an unreleased album - maybe someone we know like you or Alec Palao could dig that out for release.
Alec is currently in my pal Cyril Jordan's band, Magic Christian (sort of a '67 Stones meets '70 Badfinger band, with some burnt Rubber Soul for spice)
Cyril and I share a web page where you can see his esoteric side and surf from there.
Look up Cyril Jordan & Ken Kaffke's Tapes, Toys Tomes and Tunes.
I'll bookmark and read more of Terrascope online.
I haven't had an actual Ptolemaic issue in years, (Record Vault, Zari sold it to me) and I gtot it at Jack's Record Cellar I think, Roy loney's place.
There are psychedelic Groovies records!
The Cloud song off Sneakers, "She's Falling Apart" off Flamingo, now there's stuff with Magic Christian music. Verry "Southern", y'know?

Comments: Good to see that D T Ackles Five & Dime had finally appeared on general release. My vinyl copy is just about transparent. It took an Aussie company (Raven Records) to do the hard work. Full marks to them. I am sure that the work PT has done in the past has helped to make this happened. Congratulations
I came upon an American station recently named WFMU.org on a Sunday morning. There was a programme called Airborn Event DJ'd by Dan Bodah playing all sorts from Green Pyjamas to Rainbow in Curved Air. It goes out from 11 to 2 or 6 to 9 American time. He plays the music back to back for 3 or 4 tracks without the waffle we get over here. Are there any stations in this country doing this this? Has PT considered branching out into radio? I guess you would need a huge library. Oh well I can but dream.
All good things

Comments: I'd heard the Bevis Frond records on KFJC radio around 1995 or so, and liked them quite a bit. Much to my surprise, it turned out that the band I was in, Clockbrains, had already established a connection with your fine organization, so it was quite a treat when we were invited to play at the Terrastock West festival in 1998.... Would you happen to know if there were any archived tapes from that show? I am putting together a compilation of the last few Clockbrains recordings (once/if I mix them!), and as it turned out, Terrastock was the last time we performed, and it would be wonderful if there was something to cull from that gig..... Keep up the good work! Cheers, Dan

Once in a while, I will take out my LP copy of Reaffirmation and get into that wonderful flowing music. It was nice to read about the history of the band on your website as I didn't know anything about the members. Even though the group was short lived, they made some wonderful contributions to the world of music. Thanks for helping a 51 year old ex freak to remember the good old days.

Comments: The Texas Psych group is creating a fan produced Roky Erickson Tribute Disc. Group members, with skills in the area, will professionally produce this disc. What’s more a Press Kit will be produced and mailed out to several magazines like Goldmine & Texas Music. All you need to do is mail us your interpretations of Roky, or 13th Floor Elevators, songs along with your Contact information for the Bio/Press Kit. The best part is that this disc will be treed out to the fans and a $3.00 gift collected for each disc traded. This goes right to the Roky Trust. So, you can get your name out there and help Roky! The same folks that did/are doing the world famous Syd Barrett set- Have You Got It Yet? are doing this so you know its quality. Email for more information here:

Comments: Well, the Monsters of Texas Psych CD Project is coming along great! Thaks (thanks) to all the folks that have submitted stuff! This looks like it will be 8-10 volumes of material! This will be distributed free to the fans and loaded on FTP servers as shn files. It’s going out to the world!
Here is how it works: we are now taking submissions of material. This material must be Texas Garage/Punk/Psych from the Sixties. We have two Compilers working who will take all these submissions, gather them together, pick the best quality out of dupes and burn a “raw” copy. That “raw” copy then goes to a professional recording studio with state-of-the-art sound editing software. All the surface noise gets removed and it gets “tweaked” for the best sound. THAT finished master CD will be free to the world.
People who submit material will be first in line to get copies of the finished discs. This is the Texas Psych fans helping each other. The same folks that did the (now famous) Syd Barrett Anthology of unreleased material, the 14 volume Have You Got It Yet? Series, are working on this. So you KNOW it’s going to be quality! This will be THE best garage/psych comp ever done!
Now, preference is being given to original vinyl. If you have original vinyl 45’s and whatnot be sure to tell the compiler. Are you a Texas Psych artist from the Sixties? Dig out that Test Pressing you band did thirty-five years ago! Share it with us! NOW is your chance to get your material presented in a quality package for the real fans. Do you have some tapes? Tell us! RIGHT NOW we have stuff that will blow minds. When this is all put together it will be amazing! Step up to the plate with your private acetates, test pressings, tapes and 45’s! Share them and get them presented!

Comments: Because I first saw this site today, I'm not sure of whatI should write. I've heard of the magazine and the concert "Terrastock." Though I'm unsure if the two are truly related. I've yet to read everything on the site. I am a music lover. Many styles and sounds. (Some of which are commercial such as Smashing Pumpkins (Hometown heroes) or Foo Fighters. Lately however, (3 - 4 years) I have been delving deeper into indie label releases. I must say I am 40 years old and when I was growing up there were practically no "Indie" labels. At least not to the extent as is the case today. Back then in the US you needed to be on either coast and playing clubs to be "discovered" by a major label. Now the technology has advanced to the point of where $5000 is enough to make a decent studio for recording. Because producing CDs are easier to make, the music scene has exploded with "Indie" record labels. The bands who have success in the "Indie" arena often are courted by major labels. Those that opt for a major label contract are often referred to as selling out. It's easy to point the finger but I'm sure they take into account their "indie" following. It's a tough call to be sure. Stay true to the unwritten code of "Indie" values and DIY ethics, or try to keep those values and make some money whilst doing so.
-->Change of subject matter...
In my case, there is too much to choose from so one must depend on word of mouth when choosing the music from indie labels.
(Which of this weeks 5000 releases should I by!) Too much music to keep up with unless you quit your job and invest your days and nights looking for direction. If you get lucky and get something that holds your interest, I'd try more artists on that label.
Don't misunderstand me, without the capacity to get out the sounds of today, we'd be missing a lot of good music! As I said, for me the dilemna is deciding what to purchase?
(For a first comment on the site, it sure is a long one.)
I especially like groups such as "Acid Mothers Temple." I had to get them in there first because I just saw them here in Chicago at a small club "The Empty Bottle," which was an amazing show of diverse and overwhelming proportions. They are not just freakout noise makers but some of the most talented musicians I've seen come though town since Frank Zappa and the Mothers" in the late 70's, early 80's. (Clearly different styes, but both innovative and supercharged live!) I use to worship Zappa, the man and his guitar. His arrangements; played by the best musicians he could hope to surround himself with, and those sweet an mellow - to mean and frenzied - guitar solos were so complex but delivered with such ease and confidence. And although those were my teenage/young adult years, I still hold him revered for the path he blazed. For traveling the road not taken.
I am also deep into Sonic Boom of Spacemen 3 fame. Mostly his work with "E.A.R." (Who also passed through town with Luna in May. Another great performance.) And I'd be amiss if I didn't give kudos to Jasons "Spiritualized." (His earlier work was not my cup of tea but his last couple releases are both celestial and heartfelt.)
I also enjoy going back in time to find the uncovered and almost forgotton 60's and 70s gems that have been given new life by some labels dedicated to reissuing many of these pieces of history and revitalizing the artwork that graced the packaging.
I am an Audiophile. Yes I need my vinyl. I do buy CDs out of necessity when vinyl cannot be found or is for some reason unavailable or too expensive.
I don't think music was meant to be reproduced using a laser beam to read a series of Ones and Zeros from a silicon disc. Music in my opinion was meant to be listened to analog style. (Making contact!) It does blow my mind thinking about the great advances and products that have been invented since the electronics revolution.
They have forever changed our lives. But (my opinion only), CDs have only made it easier to listen to music. The "now" generation grew up with CDs and so think vinyl is an artifact that shold be put to rest. CDs have crystal clear sound and will stay that way forever, if cared for because of the lack of contact with the disc. However, even with a bit of surface noise or-(popcorn), the warm and vibrant tones from a "slab o' wax" are unequaled in listening enjoyment. It's quite obvious to me I am not alone in my love of vinyl. Check out the going prices on eBay for titles of interest.
Hey, I apologize for going on and on. And on.
I think my head and heart are in the right place for this, the Ptolemaic Terrascope website.
Thanks to All,
Bill

Comments: Hello, I have a very, very, very special announcement to make to you all. The Texas Psych Group is compiling the Mother of All Texas Psych Compilations! The working title is (for now) MONSTERS OF TEXAS PSYCH. Hey Joe Rein himself is the Compiler and he will be treeing this multiple-headed hydra out FREE TO THE FANS! We are very lucky to have Hey Joe at the helm here because few in the world have more knowledge of this subject than him.
This (should be) at lots of discs! There were, literally, hundreds of groups. Most of them had a few 45 rpm's or even just an acetate. A prime example is The Outcasts- 1523 Blair. What a monster! Our lofty goal is to collect it all under one roof in the best quality yet!
This is how it works, you need to contact Hey Joe here:
txfuzzsaw@aol.com
That’s: txfuzzsaw @ aol.com
What you need to do is rip all your Texas Psych from your various comps
like: Nuggets, Pebbles, Back From The Grave, Teenage Shutdown... Put it all to disc with a track listing. Then contact Hey Joe and arrange to submit it. Do you have rarities? Submit them! I have a CDR of a reel-to-reel tape that was in the possession of a Texas Psych artist since the beginning. He was kind enough to rip me a copy. None of this stuff has ever been released! I'm sending that in. Do you have vinyl 45 rpm's? Rip them to disc!
Just send it ALL in. Hey Joe will sort through duplicates and pick the
"best" quality. Any rarities will be shared. PLEASE tell Hey Joe what tracks are taken off vinyl. Those get preference. You need to create a track listing too. This is a BIG job and we need to make it as easy on Hey Joe as possible.
Monsters of Texas Psych will be distributed in the Texas Psych group FREE to the fans. However, if you are outside the group and submit tracks MAKE SURE that you give Hey Joe your email address to put on the Announcement List. You will get word when the first volumes are done that way. This is gonna be great!
Contact Hey Joe here:
txfuzzsaw@aol.com
That’s: txfuzzsaw @ aol.com
The same people that did the (now famous) fan-obsessive Syd Barrett comp. Have You Got It Yet? are involved in this. So you KNOW this is gonna be obsessive/compulsive! They are up to TEN DISCS of Syd Barrett material already with more planned! See:
http://www.neptunepinkfloyd.co.uk/hygiy.php
The Texas Psych group has already put out these discs:

Now I need to track down the even more obscure "Circles" private 12" 45 that you taped for me by "The Point of Departure" released circa 1995 -- who were they, from where, has anymore of their material been released, and if so (the big question) where can one find it? Great music, I gotta have some more!

Though I love Nick`s guitar work , I must admit to being a major fan of Bari Watts--the guy must be one of the greatest modern day rock guitarists in Europe---deseves more recognition in the mainstream.
I am trying to find where to get a hold of his solo stuff and issues since the Scenes from dreams of angels release by The Outskirts of Infinity.
If anyone knows a contact web address for his distributor. email me at docjonty@hoymail.com.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TexasPsych/
This is THE place for fans of Texas Psych! Discussion is lively and informative. We have all the links in one, easy-to-use, list. Our Files Section is chocked full of stuff including, mouth watering, scans of IA and Sonobeat 45 rpm & LP covers & labels. Collectors also submit rare tapes and we record them to the hard drive, clean up the signal with Sonic Solutions, then burn it back to CD and Tree is for everybody FREE. Our stuff sounds better than the bootlegs that are out! We also have worked out a "gift" for each Roky CD traded that goes to Roky Erickson.
We found a 2nd gen tape copy of the 'Elevators, legendary, Avalon '66 show and Treed it. This quality blew away ALL that came before. We also compiled our own, alternate mix, of their first LP. These tracks are minus that annoying reverb effect that was thrown on. We speed corrected the Sundazed Sump'n Else '66 tracks. Now, Roky & crew doesn't sound like Alvin & The Chipmunks! We are soooo obsessive. Yeah, and there's more, lots & lots more. How about a double CD of, previously un-issued, Roky acoustic demos? How about the 6/16/84 'Elevators reunion? Our's is the whole shot (two discs) and taken from a cassette copy of the VHS master that Roky's mom shot. There's more too. Lots more. How about an exclusive interview with Stacy Sutherland? This is two discs. Stacy tells the story and even picks up a guitar. But there's even more. Lots more. Roky solo. Johnny Winter. More.
Sometimes, we have giants from the Texas Psych Scene on for Web chats with the membership. In the past, we have had Danny Thomas ('Elevators Drummer) and Clementine Hall among others. It's so cool.
Webmasters! How about a link! Tell me and I will put your link in our site. That is, if it's not already there. Link us up!
That's about it. Hope to see you in the group:

Thus, thirteen malacologues agree with me that this is a fine publication. Keep on rototating and songify the malodorous gyrating toundra beetles until the bean eaters unite against the deleterious vapours of the foul dawn of polluted cities everywhere.

Comments: Your observations on the musical introspections that are Neutral Milk Hotel were--to put it lightly--alive. In that I mean a kinesis between Magnum's inspired (can we call it anything else?) stanza's and your (whoever this may be, whoever found it irresistable to interpret and design the page) dilligent layering of the text shivered my eyes. Or was it just the tears welling up as "Ghost" transitioned to "10," when sitting is useless throughout the rise and height of horns to the slow mellow decent of the softening fuzz bass.

Ah, the lovely, lovely Terrascope!!! Found, lost, then found again! I actually had the extreme pleasure of meeting Nick, Ade, and Andy in 1998, at their gigs in Heidelburg and Frankfurt. I've been a true-blue 'Frond-freak' since my lazy, hazy days at University back in 1991 or so (me not merember so good....). Absolutely brilliant to be able to meet and shake hands with the man, the myth! Wonderful gents, all!
Any possible way to get booking info for the Bevis Frond?? Should I contact Woronzow?? Thanks again, and keep up the great work!!! We need more organizations such as this.....keeping the spirit alive, and going Furthur every day!!!!!!!

Comments: Have you ever thought of transferring the POT 7 inch eps on to CD and selling them??
This could either be a "best of" or put them all on CD chronologically. I'm sure there would be the demand from people who never got the eps or who no longer have record decks.
Even if you got someone to put them onto CDr's they could be produced and sold reasonably cheaply. (Are there copyright complications???)
Still, it would add some precious coppers to the old Terrascope funds!!!
Let me know what you think!!!

Page I Liked Best: Randy California Appreciation
Comments: I liked the appreciation of Randy California, and the article about Roy Harper. Took me back many, many years to Dundee University in the Seventies, both artists played gigs there. Roy Harper's set in the Student Union, was not popular as he read out his poems (the punters wanted Stormcock), and I could not make it to Randy's guest appearance with another band (name forgotten) in the Caird Hall, as I had to sit down and do some studying for a change. I would really like to get a CD copy of Kahuna Dream by California and Cassidy, my LP is just about worn out! A web address where it can be purchased would be appreciated. My middle son, age 18 and playing with a Scottish metal band named Dead or American has promised to cover some of the covers Randy did on his Kapt. Kopter compilation. I have even persuaded him to listen to Audience! I think he sees now that all I listened to was not 'naff'.Excellent time to live through, the Seventies, in terms of musical experience.

I knew him and Lindy at the end of Dark Star days, when he was running English Weather records in Crouch End (which, along with a couple of the Harum branches, I strongly suspect was the basis for "High Fidelity"). I also did some recording with him of some songs - mostly mine but a couple of his as well.
So sorry to hear he's gone.

"I really loved that band". Yeah - far too few people did (mind you I also loved Byzantium, who probably weren't quite as worthy).

Will come back to your site often now that I've found it - clearly I'm not the only one to spot the ZigZag similarity, and what an accolade from Frame!

Comments: Just wanted you to know that all of us in Crome Syrcus (Dick Powell, Lee Graham, Ted Shreffler, Jim Plano and me) had a great time at Terrastock IV. Although we have been getting together every so often on a recording project for some time, this was the first real gig we've done in about 30 years. Once upon a time, people would come to a concert to really listen to the music; to let it take them to a place just a bit beyond the physical. It seemed that in a lot of respects those days had faded into the mists of time, (along with much of the experimentation that happened back then). Playing at Terrastock IV and listening to the other groups that night brought it all back home. Thank you for a great time. Hope we can connect again someday.

with the West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band. The first time i saw the
reference was in the Flydaddy link, when i was looking for Witch Hazel Sound.
From this magazine i felt impressed by the obscure bands from the sixties and
from today, that are usual in other magazines; bands like Blossom Toes,
Pearls before swine or the Green Pajamas, or Olivia Tremor Control.
Bravo for the effort of this really apreciation society.

Great site for meeting new bands too, or being happily surprised to find links to bands that I'd already been listening too - Hitchcock, Neutral Milk, GBVoices...Please keep it up-voices of reason need to be heard!

period and am quite happy there is a growing interest in it still. i'm
equally excited there are newer bands continuing this style. i myself am

other lp's, in the late 70's. I found the copy that I currently have in the back of a
puckup truck destined for a dumpster. Since then I have traded it away for a signed
copy of the Pretty Things "SF Sorrow" and recently bought it back for $20. Anyway,
I digress.....Tell Nick that he has a healthy fanbase in Northwest New Jersey and
gets alot of airplay on my radio show and others.

Comments: Hey guys! Just picked up PT-24 at Used Kids Records. My first issue in years... I used to buy from Midnight, but I stopped buying from them a long time ago after running into some credit card problems (my fault) and after purchasing a lot of music I didn't much care for (their fault -- or mine? because I trusted the "descriptions" given in the catalog). Anyway, despite the fact that the Terrascope was not easily acquired (the same goes for so many other good things in life...), I've still been able to keep up with the Frond and other "sure things" thanx to the fine people at places such as Used Kids or Bent Crayon in Cleveland. My life has never been the same since I discovered college radio in 1984, which led to some memorable experiences with the Rain Parade and Dream Syndicate (I was lucky enough to "socialize" with both bands after Cleveland gigs, but dammit, I never got to see Plasticland!) Then, after moving to Columbus in 1990, with quality psych becoming increasingly hard to find and my resources seemingly limited in a new town, I fortuitously stumbled onto a copy of 'Triptych' and I've been following Nick's wondrous exploits ever since. And now the Oberlin College show -- finally a chance to see the man, the myth! Man, I'm so desperate for a killer show -- Columbus is hardly the mecca for good psych, if ya know what I mean. Now if only Sundial would follow... OK, enough of my sad trevails. Thank you, Nick and Phil, for your enlightenment over the years... I was an original Terrascope junkie before I lost touch, but now I'm back, PT-24 in hand, POT-24 on turntable, peering through my TV screen (WebTV is actually a good thing) and eagerly anticipating my next 'eargasm'. Which reminds me -- with knowledgeable psych references so hard to find in this neck of the woods (I've found a few sites on the net with audio samples, but as you know, it hardly scratches the surface underground), can anyone possibly suggest some music I may be missing? Along with the aforementioned bands, some oth!
er all-time faves include, in no particular order: The Brian Jonestown Massacre (I'm heavily digging them lately; any thoughts or plans for a story?), Bardo Pond (Amanita = masterpiece), Opal/Mazzy Star, Viva Saturn, Syd/Floyd, Joy Division, Green Pajamas, Spiritualized (which was the last show I saw -- WOW, their recordings don't do them justice), early Catherine Wheel (man, what the hell happened to them? Four words: Merck Mercuriadis, Major Label), Guided By Voices (surprise, surprise), The Pixies, Eleventh Dream Day, Thin White Rope, early King Crimson (although late ain't too shabby, either), The Petals, The Ventures, Cheap Trick (I saw them 11 times -- people just didn't get it, apparently they weren't listening, just looking), Camper Van Beethoven, Burl Ives, other Paisley Underground bands, and just about anything else that sounds like it was/could have been recorded from 1966-69. I especially like spacey, droney, atmospheric, slow/mid-tempo, guitar-drenched 'pop' songs that will send me reeling into the cryptic mist. Only then will I need a dose of good old-fashioned pain...
Sorry for rambling for so long, but I would be eternally grateful for any recommendations you could add to the ones so lovingly endorsed within the pages of your fine 'zine. Keep up the good work! So many people just don't understand -- thank goodness we do! Goodbuy for now...

Comments: Hello, Terrascooopers!! I'm one of the few italians who care about your mag: it'so fucking hard to get it in this land of stupid papers, stupid music, stupid politicians etc.. I really love the music of The Man (Bevis, of course) so I choose the piece on him, but everything you cover (now or in the past or in the future) deserves attention. It's all well-written, it's passionate and I can learn a lot of things about one of the music I like most (psychedelia); I'm a great fan as well of power pop, punk-rock, folk-rock, soul and good electronics sounds (not many, to tell the truth).In my personal pantheon the Flamin'Groovies stand side by side with Big Star, Mad River and Quicksilver walk hand in hand with Burt Bacharach or Teenage Fanclub, The Temptations join the Dead Boys and Neil Young is jamming with JimO'Rourke with Dusty Springfield on vocals. I'd really like to know via e-mail some like-minded guys or (even better) girls. Best wishes to the Terrascope (by the way, I'm a proud owner of about ten issues, including the mythical number one). I hope the next Terrastock festival will carry a lot of good vibes; by that time probably I'll lay on some fuckin' italian beach instead of bliss out with Bevis and Mary Lou Lord (I just heard "Martian Saints". FABOLOUS!!!). That's life...Just a question for Phil: why did you say (er, write) that you don't understand Italian?
We are not so bad, after all.
Last thing I want to say, knowing that Bevis is a great footbal fan: ok, I'm from Turin, but I hate Juventus!! I'm a supporter of Torino F.C., which by now is in 2nd division. Do I love the losers, maybe?
That's all.
All the best from me to you.

Comments: I've been with the PT since #2. It's like holding hands with a loved one, finding a pair of shoes that really fit, getting a shirt with an extra 2 inches in the sleeves, catching the tench of a lifetime, eating that final spoonful of steamed treacle pudding..... The Terrascope is the custard that sweetens our existence...

Comments: Not given lightly: finally findings of an order worthy of attention. Not since accidentally stumbling upon a bargain basement priced Back Door lp in the throw-away "used" rows of a record store have I been so rewarded for patiently sifting through the copious debris of contemporary culture. Hope to be fortunate enough to locate a book vendor whom stocks the non-virtual magazine. My first after-work pint will be raised and pointed northeast from my perch atop a tired and all too familar stool, sending a transatlantic toast to ya'll from deep in the heart of Texas. I do believe I need the _Succour_ cd. Cheers...

No easy task. Oh, and thank your pal Bevis for laying down some of the greatest new rock albums my ears have had a chance to hear. Can't wait for a Stateside tour.

Frond, (Nick rules!). I also just picked up Succour and it is the best Psych
