The Vegetable Man Project Vol 6

Vegetable Man-Effervescent Elephant Medley

Almost forgotten about this... The story:
During the early days of our extended MySpace career we became friends with nice fellows Airwaves, a Swedish combo playing some friendly pop music. Maybe not the music we play ourself, but nevermind, they're kind people.
Once Patrik Arvidsson, the guitarplayer of Airwaves, asked us for some collaboration. The Airwaves gals and guys had a fascination for Syd Barrett and early Pink Floyd stuff and should participate on a Vegetable Man tribute album (Volume 6) with their version of Vegetable Man (connected with Effervescent Elephant).
In 2007, at the end of our "Numbers & Letters" sessions we took up the tune.
We were asked to add something after the guitar solo at 1.59 minutes ("but don't touch anything before that"), so, at 1.59 we threw out every original file of the tune except the drums and Sussie's vocals, entered Yan's fat keyboard chords and my kind-of-tribute-to-David-Gilmour's-ca-1971-playing guitar. With a good mix, great mastering and re-entery of the nice (is it?) dobro sliding it all becoame a nice piece of joint music (?!?!). The artists name used was AirwavesJoxfield.

ThanX Patrik for initiative and a believe in us playing pop music.

Somewhere there probably is an album and if you find it you can buy it, it has its moments. Enjoy!

Oax Pick - Tony Williams Lifetime

Emergency! - 2 LP (1969)

(turn it over) - LP (1970)

This is SO powerful. The perfect power trio of Tony Williams on furious drumming and whispering vocals, John McLaughlin on demon guitar and Larry Young on wild organ (love his science fictional chords like from outer space), including the bass pedals. On (turn it over) mighty Jack Bruce is added on bass.
The music is expressive in more than one way and often finds it climax when all of them 3/4 climbs the peak of madness. Pure music! Gee fer it!

Free Albums Galore said...

Joxfield ProjeX is one of the most consistently rewarding avant-garde/experimental music groups that I have featured on Free Albums Galore. The project is actually a duo by two musicians simply named Oax , who plays most of the guitars, and Yan who takes care of the keyboards. Both of them also contributes electronic effects and various other instruments to the mix . There are a few albums by them released on Clinical Archive. Yet Numbers and Letters is by far their best and most realized effort. It is also my pick for best online avant-garde/experimental music release for 2010.

One of the things that makes this album stand out is the addition of guest artists which seems to bring the best out of Joxfield ProjeX. There are just too many guests to mention but you can find them listed on the download page. However, two that tend to stand out for me are saxophonist Geoff Leigh and sitarist Håkan Almkvist. The album is over 2 hours long and is the equivalent of 3 CDs. Disc A is titled Abstract Numbers and it is a bit more introverted than the other two offerings. It is also my favorite precisely due to the quieter and serious structure that pervades through the tracks. Disc B & C are titled Concrete Letters: A-M and Concrete Letters: N-Z. They have an harder edge but still are entertainingly complex efforts. They may be a bit more challenging for the avant-garde music novice.

Those who enjoy more experimental forms of music will appreciate Numbers and Letters but the music is not so “out there” that more conventional music lovers will not enjoy it too. So download it and give it a listen.

Of course we thank them a lot for picking Numbers & Letters as the best online avant-garde/experimental music release for 2010. We're deeply honored.

21st Century Psychedelic Music

Now it's 2011.
Tired of being haunted by all that old stuff we're now heading for some new challenges, 21st Century Psychedelic Music.
The chrystal ball says the future will bring you a couple of volumes of disordered, noisy and squeaky music, just wait and see.
And, if you're lucky, maybe Yan will construct a Pop version of it all as well.
If you're eager enough you can check the myspace player for some teasers.
Hurry, it will not be there forever!

MerryMerryMerry!!!

Today is the darkest day of the year. And it's white...
We want to wish you A Merry JoxMas & A Happy New Ear
The Dynamic Duo

Now It's Official - Tag It!!!

As it's hard to update every single social media there is to be found, and as we after years of being The Masters of a Very Sleepy web-site (so sleepy that we constantly re-direct it to our MySpace site) we've finally decided to not wake it up yet.
AND, as MySpace is very hard to keep in control (they change whatever they want to change whenever they want to do it without even ask the users about our opinion)
So, until we come up with something better Memories Of My Illusions will be the official place to find updates for Joxfield ProjeX' activites as well as all the other fuzzy stuff you'll expect find here every now and then.

Don't Fuzz With Fuzzy Duck

Just to bring you to some Attention!
Fuzzy Duck's self-titled one and only album from 1971. Intense prog, like some speeded up National Heath, Egg or so.
Paul Francis (drums, percussion), Mick (Doc) Hawksworth (bass, vocals, acoustic 12-string, electric cello), Roy (Daze) Sharland (organ, electric piano) and Grahame White (guitar, vocals, acoustic guitar).
(Roy Sherland was the organ player (not THAT organ) in The Crazy World of Arthur Brown. He's mighty.)
Learn it! Remember!
And, of course, this wouldn't have come up to the surface of our cultural and aural minds if it wasn't for Yan's lobbyistic efforts. Such a nerd he is!
O'

Enjoy Eloy

Not too often I raise my eyebrows for old symphonic prog these days, but when I hear Eloy's 6th release, "Ocean", I must admit it's a hell of a good album. Four lengthly pieces, all including wellknown prog signs as well as space rock and - well - krautrock. If they would have their roots on The British Isles they might have had another and bigger role in the encyclopedias of Music of Inportance. 1977 was the year. Is this Punk Rock? Hell no, but give it a chance!
For friends of Amon Dûûl 2 ca 1969 - 1972.
