Children of the Sun by the Misunderstood is one of my favorite garage/psychedelic gems from 1966. The guitar playing is magnificent and the band is nervy, hard-nosed and sublimely cosmic. And remember... this recording predates Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd and most of the Yardbirds sonic experiments.
There were two editions of the Misunderstood and the one with Glen Ross Campbell (No, it's not
that Glen Campbell) playing guitar and steel guitar is the real thing. Glen Ross Campbell's use of fuzztone, sustain, feedback and Middle Eastern tonal modalities influenced London based guitarists like Syd Barrett, Jimi Hendrix and Jimmy Page. The band never had a large international audience and the best collection of their work is
Before the Dream Faded.
