  • Reply with quote
Do you think that some of your favorites albums are not that well known? If you think so, here is your chance to promote it.

But let's try to follow the conditions below:

The album you are about to promote should have a "Total Charts" rank less or equal to 15, i.e. it does not appear in more than 15 charts.

You can promote an album as many times as you want.

Once an album reaches a "Total Charts" rank of 15 or greater it is not eligible for promotion. You've done well. Very Happy

I will start by promoting the following album:

Great lost psychedelic. Beautiful arrangements with string overdubs a la "Forever Changes" and strongly influenced by it. You can clearly hear these influences in "A Horn Playing On My Thin Wall", "Look At The Wind", "Look To The Sun" and "Didn't" among others. In other respects it draws from jazz as in "Look At The Wind" even from "The Velvet Underground And Nico" and "The Doors" as in "Something New You Can Hide In".

A must hear.

I like your lists and going through them - there is a lot to learn. Thank you. Very Happy I believe the best way to promote an album that you believe deserves a better standing, is to say a few words about it or reference a comment that you made about it.

Microminiature Love by Michael Yonkers Band

This is a garage/psychedelic masterpiece and it's a miracle that it even exists, It was recorded in 1968 but MYBs record deal with Sire Records fell through so it wasn't released. 30ish years later this album was rediscovered and released in 2002 and then again in 2003 with some bonus tracks which contain 2 of the best tracks on the album Sold America and The Thunder Speaks. Microminiature Love touches on proto-punk, garage rock, psych and even some noise rock on the end of Boy In The Sandbox.

Yonkers also had a hobby of making his own effect pedals and "modifying" the shit out of guitars (see album cover above) which really gives him an unique sound.

At the moment it's on two charts, both mine.
