Cromagnon-"Caledonia" (1969)

The legend goes thusly: production visionary Brian Elliot and his associate Austin Grasmere allegedly had written a string of bubble gum hits when they approached ESP Records to produce an LP that would present their original creative ideas, which Elliot described as "movies for the ears", far removed from the formulas of the market place. They said that they had a Connecticut tribe (mostly the remnants of an earlier Elliot production project, a psychedelic band called The Boss Blues) with which they would bring to fruition the ideas that they needed to express... the ultimate theme being "all is one". ESP gave them engineer Otto Schontze and some studio time. The Cromagnon legend says that it only took three days, but recent interviews claim it took many weeks of recording labor to fulfill their musical dream...producing an album titled "Orgasm", which they credited to Cromagnon. It was released in 1969. There actually was a Connecticut tribe of sorts, a typical hippie commune of the day, with several children included. They can all be heard on the epic CALEDONIA.

What drugs were these guys on and tell me what they are...so I know to stay the fuck away from it

I don't care if it's industrial before industrial or prog rock or what have you. I discovered this song through Cracked and it's strange and I like it! The bagpipes make it perfect.

This is brilliant. Truly awesome. So ahead of its time. Its time hasn't even arrived. This must've been beamed in from 2032.

Fucking brilliant. I wish I'd been down with this twenty years ago. Industrial is one of those genres where you can hear everything there is to hear and STILL find more if you look hard enough.
