Black Market Karma- Easy Listening – FREE DOWNLOAD

The 1960s ethos seems to be rising again, as shown by Black Market Karma, an established, self-proclaimed psychedelic 5-piece from London who have released their third Album “Easy Listening,” on Flower Power Records.

Forming on the mean streets of London; the boys drew their influences from bands such as The Velvet Underground, Nirvana and My Bloody Valentine. The first track “Jingle” sets a smooth introduction to the rest of the album. The consistently, distinctive guitar playing draws you into a rocky, yet spacey atmosphere – a perfect insight into the band’s sound.   Although they are generally a loud, guitar-heavy group- their funky bass lines and long drawn-out, almost trippy vocals blend together to make a very relaxing “easy listen.”

I urge, as ever, for you to take a listen. And, as Flower Power Records are giving away free downloads of several albums, why not pop on over and get yourself some free (legal) music!

The Time and Space Machine

Check it out!- Pill Party in India

I recently came across an incredible multi-talented, london based producer called Richard Norris, who is an engineer, DJ, A&R man (the list goes on!) and is souly responsible for the project “The Time and Space Machine.” His debut single “Children of the Sun” was released in 2009 and is the result of his love of the psychedelic 60s era.

His music un-doubtedly has a “Time and Space” feel about it, giving you the urge to lie back and imagine yourself floating through a cosmic river of colourful, psychedelic discovery.- In other words, it’s very trippy! His great use of melodic riffs and punctual drum beats plays well with the indian raga influences that is evidently used in his music, giving it a very interesting twist.
