Lothar and the hand people-space hymn
Loading...
Uploaded by gomera222 on Oct 27, 2008
The ultimate experimental rock band of the late 60s, Lothar and the Hand People were fronted NOT by a
musician, but by a musical instrument; a theremin named Lothar.
The band recorded two albums, PresentingLothar and the Hand People released in 1968 and Space Hymn
in 1969.
One of the weirder psychedelic groups of the late '60s, the New York-based Lothar & the Hand People took special pride in augmenting many of their tunes with the theremin, a then-futuristic instrument most famous for its use in horror movies (as well as the Beach Boys' "Good Vibrations"). Playing eccentric satirical rock, good-time folk-rock, and experimental psychedelia, their material wasn't nearly strong enough to elevate them to the rank of innovators. Although their first album is their best, they are most fondly remembered for the trance-inducing "Space Hymn," an FM radio favorite for many years.
