Yorkshire-based Latvian psych rockers Alva released an album in 1978, and it was
unheralded but great. Psychedelic Sounds International re-release it in 2015 and it
is equally as great, but more available (which is great). This is a true gem of a
collection, part Jefferson Airplane-esque twee melodies, part 70's psych-rock
freakouts. Low-fi foot tapping drum gallops, broken power chords and single string
melodies. Twelve-string acoustic guitar introduction immediately backed up by weighty
drums and resonant meandering woodwind (It's described purely as 'Pipe' on the CD
sleeve.

PSI 005 GUNESH GUNESH LP 03.2018
(Note : LP , clear vinyl)
The Gunesh Ensemble was founded in 1970 in Ashkhabad, Turkmen Soviet Socialist Rep.
then part of the Soviet Union. They started out as a vocal group with supporting
musicians from Turkmenistan State Radio and TV. Later several young musicians came
to play with them and the band's music became much more modern. The group began to
play jazz-rock tightly intertwined with traditional Oriental music. This, their very
fine first LP was originally released in 1980 on the Soviet state label Melodiya and
contains traditional Central Asian music in jazz-rock arrangements plus a Vietnamese
singer. Limited to 100 copies on clear vinyl for the Russian market, but only few
available here too!
