What a great tune! Really brings one back through time to those psychedelic days of wonder, alright...I'm from Montreal, but I just heard this song for the first time now, 40 years later...better late than never!
The band was from Montreal. They only released two albums. One in 1970 and another in 1971. There was also a non-album single "Love Is" / "Ride Johnny Ride" in 1972. Their 2 lp's were released on a single cd in 1999 by Collectables (Sony). However, it doesn't include this track, "Mr. Tree". Pierre Senecal reformed Mashmakhan with Allan Nicholls on vocals and put out "Dance A Little Step" as a single in 1973. Pierre Senecal toured the Maritimes as a one-man band in 1981.
Yeah - and I have one of the two PL's mentioned, lol - and even have a turntable to play it on. A great band - wonder what they are doing now? Hey Ray or Brian - get back to me if you read this. Mel

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Mashmakhan derives from a hallucinogen many used to take at the time.
The song is to an old man, so much of a desporadoes tone, unctuous and becoming. Je me souviens

sounds super similar, but i don't think that beat has any samples. it's all synths and keys. good job noticing that, though.

One famous unknown song. It deserves to be covered by Metallica, or Iron Maiden and why not Guns & Roses
