One of the more obscure and mysterious releases in the classic Takoma cannon. Out there, Bay Area hippie-improv jazz canoodlings. Woodwind, bass and echo-driven. All instruments played by Mr. Yost. Biographically, I've found next to nothing about him, online. 320 Vinyl rip by yours truly. Big thanks to D.

Out there, indeed! Thank you, Nick. If tonight's anything like last night (heat & hail, massive rains, tornado warnings, etc..), this will be a perfect soundtrack.

Just found this blog! Awesome!
ReplyDeleteI found it searching for the Pyx OST, is there any chance you would re-up that one for me? Would love to have it@
Very cool, especially the two title tracks. Thanks for unburying this treasure, matey
ReplyDeleteOh baby, far out... thanks, Ghost!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks! More proof you can't go wrong with Takoma. This kind of reminds me of a more psychedelic Third Ear Band. Now why won't Fantasy or whoever owns the rights to the Takoma catalogue make all these recordings available?
ReplyDeleteNever heard of this. Looking forward to hearing it. Many thanks!
