The Mandrake Memorial - The Otherside

As per request here is another great Mandrake Memorial track. This comes off their 2nd LP Medium. The band changed their style up a bit for their 2nd LP, a little bit more of the progressive side, but still had that great feel that came off of their debut LP. Ya I still can't figure why The Nazz are considered the best Philly 60's band.

@bellsys1 Didn't know about the Philly connection. Back in the mid- to late '80s, WMMR was playing a lot of American Dream ("I Ain't Searchin'", mostly) on its Psychedelic Supper program, and I followed that until it was dropped. I had the album.

Mandrake Memorial appears to be more adventurous than the Dream and Nazz ever got. They stayed strongly in the psych camp while the others either rejoined society or turned into pop stars.

@clashboy1977 es cierto que Tood es un genio, los discos de Nazz son mucho mas complejos musicalmente, no obstante éstos M Memorial hacen otro tipo de sicodelia orientada al ambiente, al relax o dicho en forma mas directa orientada al trip! ; saludos

@maida1982a - Yes, American Dream was another great Philadelphia-area band. The cuts played most often from the album were I Ain't Searchin' and Frankford El. They released a single with I Ain't Searchin' on the A side and Goodnews on the B side. Both Mandrake Memorial and American Dream really deserved a lot more attention than they got.

I'm really happy for you @clashboy1977 and Imma let you finish, but Kanye West is the most impertinent kudo-usurper of ALL TIME.

Rundgren is a genius!
