Plan 9 "Dealing With The Dead" 1984

The original vinyl of this, first released by Midnight back in '84, has long been one of many faves of the whole '80s "garage revival" scene. Much more psych than many, Plan 9 almost defied definition and later became much more jam / freeform but on this they're firmly rooted in that "acid punk" sound of '66/'67, with swirling fuzz guitars, organ and snarling vocals galore!
Heavy duty psycho garage rock. Eric Stumpo and band create a dense facsimile of an underground garage band from the 60's. Fuzz guitars and lots of swirling keys keep your ears buzzin' throughout this collection of classics. The band did a pretty damn good job of producing this themselves. The sound isn't muddy or has a totally tinny top end like most independent releases are. R.K. Sloan did the great cover and even added a comic book. "I Like Girls" is a fine rocker with some great fuzz guitar. "Dealing With the Dead" starts with some thunder and narration about the dead...there's some strange moaning in the background followed by 5 and a half minutes of Rocky Erikson like ramblings. I love this stuff! reviewer: MaxMurdoc
