Editorial Reviews

The fourth & final installment in Big Beat's look at the amazing Australian music scene of the 1960s. On this release the focus is on the splendid psychedelic pop of the late 60s. This is the first release outside Australia for virtually all of the material on this compilation & many tracks have never appeared on CD. For fans of the Chocolate Soup & Perfumed Garden compilations. 27 tracks. 2002.

This collection of psych-pop from Australia & New Zealand is a great one... I guess it's fair to say that maybe it's not the most essential psych collection out there these days, but damn it's a solid one nonetheless. Any collection that kicks off with a pre-AC/DC Bon Scott on vocals has to be worth something. And this is one of those rare compilations that really has no filler. Standout tracks: "House of Bamboo", "Moving in a Circle", Bee Gees cover "Upstairs, Downstairs", "Magic Eyes" (tries to out-Cream Cream and does a pretty good job of it). Seriously, though, they're all good.

The product arrived in excellent shape. The music has a catchy sound to it. The interpretation of me and my partners song was excellent.
Thank you

This review is from: Peculiar Hole in the Sky: Pop Psych From Down Under (Audio CD)

Not to knock the "Down Under" Psychedlic scene..not knowing/hearing much from Australia during this era, but when I saw 27 tracks listed I figured I couldn't go wrong. I was somewhat disappointed as I found, unlike a previous reviewer, quite a bit of filler. Australia unfortunately was not an undiscovered gem of a scene that is being discovered and finally being exposed to the world. I could hear 3 quality songs; Eastern Dream, Magic Eyes, and Sitting by a Tree...about 4 other tunes would start out with promise..but then take a quick left turn off the road into deserved obscurity..
