Description:
Heavy psychedelic thunder roaring through Manhattan in 1972!
Only 100 copies of the original LP were pressed, making this an extremely rare release!
The latest reissue of The Flow's only album, featuring thundering guitars in the vein of Jimi Hendrix and Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath)! The towering skyscraper hard sound is the East Coast's answer to the West Coast's blue cheer, a declaration of war!
Formed in Brooklyn in the late 1960s by guitarist/singer Pete Fine. Initially a four-piece band calling itself Drunken Dog, it changed its name to the trio The Flow and expanded into Manhattan. The band played live shows in and around New York City while engaging in friendly competition with Wicked Lester, the predecessor of Kiss, and others. The only album they released was "The Flow's Greatest Hits. Pete's southpaw guitar, which is in the vein of Jimi Hendrix and Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath), spews out a heavy sound inspired by the acid movement. From the introduction of "Swallow the Sun" (M1), which points to an ominous fate like Sabbath's "Black Sabbath," to the Bach-inspired "Toccata in D minor" (M5), "Bi-Jinx" (M6), which anticipates grunge by 20 years and ends with a freaky cheer, and the instrumental "Mousely," a product of the psychedelic experience.
The instrumental "Mousely" (M7), a product of the psychedelic experience, "Sunday Night Thoughts" (M11), which depicts the futuristic world of the time, and "I Saw a Dog" (M12), which mimics the barking of a dog with a guitar, are followed by freakout tunes that reflect the chaos of New York psychedelic culture. On the other hand, the musicianship is also outstanding with the hook-filled hard rock "Get Up & Smile" (M10), "Third Movement" (M9) featuring a lyrical acoustic guitar, and "Creeping Madness" (M13) with its authentic blues-rock style lead. outstanding.
Only 100 copies of the original LP of this work were pressed and sold in some record stores, and the music was little known. One day Pete heard Bruckner's Symphony No. 8, which opened his eyes to classical music, and he left New York and moved to Tucson, Arizona. When he moved, the LPs in his home were destroyed, and The Flow became a "phantom" band. However, "The Flow's Greatest Hits" was reissued in 2003 by the German psychedelic reissue label "Shadox Music" and caused a sensation among dilettantes around the world. This is the first Japanese reissue of the album in 20 years and the first time it has been released in Japan. Pete released the psychedelic orchestra album "On a Day of Crystalline Thought" in 1974. In recent years, in addition to his band activities, he has been creating singular symphonic music with guitar and orchestra.
In recent years, in addition to his band activities, he has been creating unique symphonic music with guitar and orchestra. The Flow's Greatest Hits" is an extremely heavy blow, a fitting introduction to such an astonishing musical journey.
