The United States of America
 

Not to be confused with that post-grunge band, the United States of America were an avant-garde psychadelic band in the late 60's who appear, to me, to be the clearest precursors to Faust and Can in the entire psychadelic camp, who were using crazy electronics to such an insane extent before anyone else was, and who still succeed in making brilliant off-kilter tunes that are worth listening to by anyone with even a fleeting interest in krautrock or early-Pink Floyd era style psychadelica. They only made one album but it is quite the masterpiece. Fuck Piper at the Gates of Dawn, this is where it's at.

Dammit can a mod move this someplace where it won't get buried instantly and where people will actually see it, indie/alternative maybe? This album so deserves recognition.

Moved, i'll probably check it out later.

Just listening to it now, pretty good stuff, crazy to think they did this in the 60's and they only did 1 albumn!! shame

Quality shit. Good album for sure.

I'm quite interested from the description. I will listen tonight :) TY
