-valis Pick of the Week

Hail Voyagers! WOW! Have we got a Pick for you this week! None other than psychedelic guitar god Gary Ramon -under the banner of the mighty Sun Dial , are set to release their latest, titled Mind Control !

After a couple of runs through the Sennheisers I was thinking Gary must've been on a long krautrock kick prior to these sessions; sounds like Can & Ash Ra Tempel on a few, especially the nearly-nine minute title track! (Speaking of the sessions, it's been published on several of the online record distribution sites that none other than Hugo Chavez-Smith was brought back in to helm the production. He who did same for the now-classic, must-have/must-hear Other Way Out!

Nothing but raucous applause here for a group who've been at it for a long time and still make us happy they are!

TRACKLISTING:


01. MOUNTAIN OF FIRE & MIRACLES

02. RADIATION

03. BURNED IN

04. MIND CONTROL

05. LAST RAYS OF THE SUN

06. IN EVERY DREAM HOME A HEARTACHE

(No YouTube/SoundCloud/Bandcamp, etc., page exists. You can -and should, give a listen to the streaming archive of my show from today at KDHX. Link below.)   *** You can listen to the archived stream here; or, hear it this Friday, on The Dead Man's Turn Me On, Dead Man show on Live365, where it's heard every Friday at noon eastern time, as well as Mr. Atavist's Sunrise Ocean Bender show, heard every Monday from 1 to 3 am eastern, on WRIR in Richmond, VA.

Totally sucks. I try to listen to radioshow stream in Finland and every time I lose connection before Sun Dial tracks. It's hard because I'm huge fan and at this time this is only chance to here the new material.
