Yes interest, yes reviews.
Unfortunately, the closest things I have in my collection are probably
the Lyres or the 13th Floor Elevators. And the Wipers, I suppose,
but "New York Garage Band" doesn't quite sound right, does it?

As to other fave psych and neo-psych bands. I really like the Pandora's two albums--though last time I saw them (post-Elektra signing), they played almost entirely new material, and it all sounded fairly mediocre. The Delmonas 5 have a cool LP out, as do an Italian group named "Four By Art." There's also a ridiculous amount of reissue stuff out there. The entire 13th Floor Elevator catalogue is out. I've also seen copies of the Red Crayola's "Parable of Arable Land" floating around (used copies of the 1979-ish Radar reissue). Another excellent buy is the imprort reissue of the Human Beinz second album "Evolutions." There's also about a hundred-thousand compilations (42,000 volumes of the Pebbles series alone), much of it good, some of it mediocre. Two good comps that have come out in the past couple of years are the History of Vanouver Rock Vols. 1 & 2. ... gt -- "It's not as if it's brain surgery.
