Holy grails of obscure global garage and heavy psych. We’re talking:
• 🔥 The Heavy Hitters: The insane Japanese psych-fuzz of The Helpful Soul and that massive organ-driven cover of “Tales Of Brave Ulysses” by Inside Experience.
• 🌀 The Global Trip: Polish psych-folk from No To Co, French energy from L’Assemblee, and the legendary Japanese “Group Sounds” of The Jaguars.
• 🧛 The Truly Bizarre: The Vampires Of Dartmoore—if you haven’t heard German horror-lounge-psych, you haven’t lived.
• ⚡ Pure Garage Grit: The Headstones and The Desperates bringing that raw, 1960s teenage angst.
