3.0 out of 5 stars Fifty Foot Hose - 'Sing Like Scaffold' (Weasel Disc), June 4, 2006

Put out in 1996,the way that I heard it was 'Sing...' was actually their follow-up to their 1967 'Cauldron' album(see my review).Better late than never,I always say.Cork Marcheschi;founder,bassist and special sound effects man, apparently has decided to revive Fifty Foot Hose.There was even some hard-to-find Japanese import 'Live&Unreleased' of a one-off live performance they'd done.Only way to describe FFH's music to a new fan would be 'obscure psychedelia'.Tunes that sort of had me sit up and take notice were the trippy opener "Fantasy",the highly experimental eleven-minute "5:00 To 5:11:33","Jet Lag" and "Picture The Sky".Maybe not a masterpiece,but still a fun trip to endure.Give it a shot.Should appeal to fans of Red Crayola,Terry Riley,13th Floor Elevators and Steve Reich.

Well, you can't say Fifty Foot Hose ever sold out. Twenty Nine years after releasing Cauldron in 1967, they put out this.

Back then they were far left of any of the San Fransisco bands--even the Greatful Dead in their free form jams. Cauldron was mostly free form electronic collage--having more to do with Stockhausen than the Dead or Jefforson Airplane,

This album picks up where Hose left off. The main differance is the deeper sound wells provided by modern technology. Most of this is free form space painting: you could compare it to Nurse with Wound.

Which is great if that is what you like. I do, but just make sure you are ready to fly deep into free space.
