<b>Press Release :</b><br>
What PitchforkMedia.com has to say about Mushroom:<br>
"Mushroom tossed the analog weirdness of Füxa, and the jagged experimentalism of Can into a dark, smoking concoction alongside acid-fried Funkadelic, Jack Johnson-style Miles Davis and even some groove-addled Medeski, Martin & Wood. The result was some of the most instantly accessible outrock around, exploratory, up and infectious. It's rich and trippy party music for ass and head".<br>
<br>
What The San Francisco Bay Guardian has to say about Eddie Gale:<br>
"The vibe is so 1969-inner peace-astrological-cosmic-love-futurist-spiritual that when I was done listening, I just lay back knowing everything was everything and the creator has a master plan. The music is full of fun and optimism, and after surfing international news for an hour this morning, I'd give anything to be back in Brooklyn during the summer of '69, sitting in some park listening to Gale".<br>
<br>
As if San Francisco-based psychedelic kraut-rock, indie-jazz experimentalists Mushroom didn’t have the ability to transport listeners to the furthest recesses of the mind with their own powers, on this latest album, Joint Happening, they’ve joined forces with none other than avant-jazz legend, cutting-edge trumpet visionary Eddie Gale, best known for his classic 1969 Blue Note album Black Rhythm Happening. Mushroom provides Gale with the foundation for some of the most ghostly and haunted improvisations of his career. With Mushroom’s tribal and hypnotic rhythms morphing and melting textures behind the trumpeter, the results can be described as freak jazz. Imagine 70's Miles Davis jamming with Can and Crazy Horse. Joint Happening is indeed 70-minutes worth of a stoned happening.<br>

<b>Press Release :</b><br>
Space rock / psychedelic jazz groovers <b>Mushroom</b> join forces with singer/songwriter <b>Alison Faith Levy</b>, known for her own albums (with members of <b>Camper Van Beethoven</b>) and as a member of the <b>Loud Family</b> (featuring <b>Scott Miller</b> of <b>Game Theory</b>).<br>
<br>
With <b>Mushroom</b>, Alison soars soulfully into another realm - that one reviewer described as "The Space Rock <b>Eartha Kitt</b>". Previous reviews of Alison's solo material have said:<br>
<br>
"<b>Alison Faith Levy</b>, like her fellow San Franciscan <b>Mark Eitzel</b>, seeks to reconcile 1960's pop loveliness with the bleakness of the coming millenium." - SnackCake Magazine<br>
<br>
"in one song, Levy's hypnotic voice slithers through her band's undulating fields of neopsychedelic rhythm, in another it moans over an acoustic blues; the music on her CD owes something to <b>Dylan</b>, <b>Pink Floyd</b> and late <b>Beatles</b>, but Levy's voice and sardonic, eloquent lyrics are all her own." - East Bay Express<br>
<br>
On this new CD, <b>Mushroom</b> with it's ever expanding and changing line up includes:<br>
<br>
Guitarist and vocalist (via his special megaphone) <b>Josh Pollock</b> - who has had the good fortune to collaborate with the likes of <b>John Cale</b> and <b>Flea</b> (both at the <b>Patti Smith</b>-curated Meltdown Festival in London), as well as <b>Damo Suzuki</b>, <b>Kevin Ayers</b>, and <b>Gong</b> mastermind <b>Daevid Allen</b>, with whom he's recorded the latest <b>Gong</b> album, plus five CDs with their band <b>Daevid Allen's University Of Errors</b>, and two CDs with that unholy hybrid of <b>Gong</b> and Japanese psych-terrorists <b>Acid Mothers Temple</b>, <b>Acid Mothers Gong</b>.<br>
<br>
<b>University of Errors</b>' bassist <b>Michael Clare</b> plays on several songs. When not playing percussion for <b>Mushroom</b>, <b>Dave Mihaly</b> can be found on stage and in the studio with country/folk star <b>Jolie Holland</b>.<br>
<br>
On a couple of songs, <b>Seth Augustus</b> is featured on The Igil, a traditional Tuvan instrument.<br>
<br>
Guitarist <b>Tim Plowman</b> recorded several albums for <b>SST Records</b> with his band <b>Slovenly</b>. Multi-instrumentalist <b>Erik Pearson</b> has most recently been working with <b>Billy Talbot</b> of (<b>Neil Young</b> and) <b>Crazy Horse</b> on Billy's solo project, while saxophonist and general handy man <b>Ralph Carney</b> spent much of his previous life as a member of <b>Tom Waits</b> band in-between sessions and gigs with <b>Marc Ribot</b>, <b>Hal Wilner</b>, the <b>B-52's</b> and <b>Jonathan Richman</b>.<br>
<br>
On their album "Yesterday, I Saw You Kissing Tiny Flowers" - <b>Alison Faith Levy & Mushroom</b> take you on a journey to the centre of your mind- led by Mushroom drummer and producer <b>Pat Thomas</b>.<br>

<b>Alison Faith Levy & Mushroom</b> – Gas, Grass Or Ass – Nobody Rides For Free<br>
(CD-Single) 4 Zero Records FZ002, 2007-02-05<br>
<br>
<b>Review :</b><br>
Whoa! A new <b>Mushroom</b> release is always a BIG event in my book. I've already warned my fellow friend and collegue <b>Mr Moo</b> (the only other current psychedelic music specialist in France I know) that I had received their new single, extracted from an upcoming album, his answer was immediate and crystal clear: "You bastard!". Not that <b>Mr Moo</b> will ever hate me, he just knows about <b>Mushroom</b>, their incredible recordings to sip acid too, and the collectability of all their releases.<br>
<br>
This CD-Single is like the rest of their discography: HARD TO FIND. A hundred copies only were pressed, and most of those were sent to DJs and reviewer, so I don't think he'll buy this one easily on Amazon. Very specialized record shops might carry it or order it for you, shops such as <b>Bimbo Tower</b> near Bastille in Paris for example (who also carry the <b>Rather Interesting</b> releases from <b>Atom Heart</b> when they're issued... contact them on <a href="http://bimbo.tower.free.fr" target="_blank">bimbo.tower.free.fr</a>).<br>
<br>
The album, "Yesterday, I Saw You Kissing Tiny Flowers", should be released soon (mid-May)... We'll keep you up-to-date with the latest info don't worry.<br>
<br>
The opening track of the single is a groovy psychedelic soul jazz ride, with organ, flute, drums, percussions and saxophone, all jamming like furious Wacky Racers while <b>Alison Faith Levy</b> is preaching in the background. Now that's what I call "I can't wait for the album" pressure! Exclusive to this release, previously unreleased bonus tracks are rare live recordings from 2002 and 2004, two softer jam-jazz pieces, more of a end-of-trip thing. You can hear people chatting in the background, so we can guess it's all small venues.<br>

Note : Vintage live recordings from maverick San Fran instrumental space-rock psych-groove masters - Limited edition of 1,000 copies.<br> <br>
<b>Press Release :</b><br>
"Jabs of flute cluster alongside churning organ and splintered Rhodes Piano...clattering drums have an automaton rotary action that sometimes recalls Can" - Q magazine<br>
<br>
"Combines the virtuosity of the Canterbury scene and ability to blow like Miles or Coltrane with certain overtones of the great Krautrock bands. At their zenith, they recall the classic acid rock jamming sounds that made their San Francisco home town so famous" - Ptolemaic Terrascope magazine<br>
<br>
"Some of the best space jams heard since Loop and The Spacemen 3 glided across the squelchy fields of the Reading Festival in 1989." – Mojo <br>
<br>
who: Mushroom<br>
where: San Francisco<br>
when: the late 1990's<br>
<br>
what: inspired by a wide variety of sources, the members of Mushroom (who had previously worked with a wide range of artists including Mr. Bungle, Eugene Chadbourne, Absolute Grey, the Mommyheads, Don Was, Flamin' Groovies, Sneetches, to name but a few).....come together to play original all-instrumental music that recalled everything from the Canterbury sounds of Soft Machine and Caravan to the acid-psych of the Filllmore West to the wide landscape of 1970's German rock.<br>
<br>
"Reinventing the magical moments from times is all the rage, but Mushroom are a band living it. These guys are San Franciscan experimentalists who like to indulge in a spot of psychedelic soul searching. Explore." - Straight No Chaser<br>
<br>
This collection of previously unreleased vintage live recordings is titled "Really don't mind if you sit this one out" - and drawn from Mushroom's first year and half of their career, from June 1997 to November 1998. Although the band later expanded into different line-ups, including horn players, multi-percussionists and jazz/groove music - this disc really focuses on the psych-space-rock roots of Mushroom and who better to describe those early days of Mushroom - than Steve Wynn, the founder of the legendary psychedelic guitar band, the Dream Syndicate:<br>
<br>
"Los Angeles is my place of birth. New York is my adopted home. But, San Francisco is the city I visit when I want to return to the beatnik roots I never had. Dreams of Ferlinghetti, Lenny Bruce and Miles Davis spin around my head as I stomp thru North Beach, crawl thru the Lower Haight, flying on some wild combination of bourbon, sleeplessness and the freaky sounds and sights that beckon from every bar.<br>
<br>
"The summer of 1997 was no exception as I emerged from a self-imposed haze into a dark dingy bar called the Make Out Room somewhere in the Mission district. Local hipsters were scattered about like some kind of barometer of a cool yard sale. There was some members of American Music Club in one corner, members of Pavement in another. I think I even spotted Jorma Kaukonen of the Airplane quietly digging the scene..... I knew I was in the right place at the right time.<br>
<br>
"Before too long I was ignoring the hip surroundings, the attending royalty, the trippy lights and focused on the music. Musical references were being tossed so quickly, one minute it was Miles Davis' 'Agharta', the next minute Faust, the next minute 1970's King Crimson, one after another, until the influences didn't matter..... I turned off my mind, relaxed and floated downstream (to paraphrase some other hipster) and then my mind split open (to quote another).<br>
<br>
"The band announced that the next number would be 'The Reeperbahn' and before I could rev up the memory machine, of nights spent in Hamburg over the years, my rational mind was put on a cosmic back burner as the band played what seemed like a 10-hour piece (I later learned it was only 52 minutes - the version on this album is a mere 18 minutes, I'm afraid). They followed that with several other songs including 'Kyle Loves a Funny Bunny' - and then after 3 hours and 38 minutes, the band had finished their set."<br>

<b>Press Release :</b><br>
"Not just another blaxploitation soundtrack compilation, this is a collection of music taken from 1970s X-rated African-American films and made available for the first time anywhere. These X-rated films feature less 'by the numbers' funk and more improvised grooves and 'avant garde' textures than the typical blaxploitation soundtracks. Using mainly jazz musicians from Oakland, CA (where many of these films were made), these recently uncovered master tapes (and the 16 pages of color photos) are sure to delight your eyes and ears."

<b>Mushroom</b> - "Glazed Popems"<br>
(Black Beauty 2004)<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.djouls.com/index.php/the-best-of-2004-part2"><img src="http://www.djouls.com/images/djouls_goldenpepper2004_s.gif" alt="the best of 2004 part 2" border="0" align="right" hspace="2" vspace="2" /></a><b>Mushroom</b> est un collectif de San Francisco influencé par <b>King Crimson</b> (période "Lark's Tongues In Aspic", etc.), <b>Miles Davis</b> (période "Dark Magus", "Black Beauty") et <b>Soft Machine</b> ("Third"), très jazz/rock psychédélique/rock progressif, donc. Il tourne autour du batteur <b>Pat Thomas</b> (alias <b>Patrick O'Hearn</b> sur les albums précédents), auprès duquel on retrouve régulièrement <b>Erik Pearson</b> (guitare, sax, flûte), <b>Dave Mihaly</b> (percussions, marimba), <b>Ned Doherty</b> (basse), et de nombreux invités. Leur psychédélisme avancé, aux couleurs folk et mélodiques, nous faisait obligatoirement penser à leur pendant anglais, <b><a href="http://www.djouls.com/index.php/Super-numeri">Super Numeri</a></b>, groupe pastoral signé chez <b><a href="http://www.saounds.com/index.php/Ninja-tune" target="_blank">Ninja Tune</a></b>, de la même façon que <b>Super Numeri</b> évoque irrémédiablement <b>Mushroom</b>, mais apparemment les deux formations ne se connaissent pas. Ce n'est pas faute de leur avoir envoyé des emails à ce sujet mais bref... Toujours est-il que <b>Mushroom</b> revisitent avec ce double CD leurs influences musicales anglaises, <b>Pentangle</b>, <b>The Incredible String Band</b>, <b>Fairport Convention</b>, <b>Richard and Linda Thompson</b>, etc., à l'aide de guitares acoustiques (c'est une première pour <b>Mushroom</b>), pour en quelque sorte leur album de "psychedelic roots folk anglais", tout en rèveries lysergiques.<br>
Il ne reste plus qu'à espérer que <b>Super Numeri</b> sortent un album de rock psychedelique californien...<br>
