This is the last re-upload from the "A _ Dose of _ Psych" series which was originally posted here back in 2006. For those of you who missed it the first time around, I hope you enjoyed this amazing set of psychedelic rock compilations.
Here is the 3rd installment of the Arf Arf label's series of 60's garage-psych rock compilations. I found out the name of the remaining album, which I have yet to download. It's called A Heavy Dose of Lyte Psych. I'll begin the search for that one tomorrow, so hopefully I can complete the series.
What sets this apart from the many other similar '60s garage-psych releases is the extremeness of the music. Tracks collected here feature grungier guitars, slower or varied tempos and darker and more ominous atmosphere than earlier punk singles...and more fuzz and heavier feedback (even the occasional oscillator). These tracks were typically cut later than many of the other garage-band compilation series, and influences are second generation bands like Steppenwolf, Blue Cheer, Love, and the Stooges. While poppier sounds are eschewed on these sides, according to the liner notes these heavier slabs are the flip sides of lighter material. If the ballads on garage comps are the ones you skip over, by all means pick up a copy of this collection...you won't be disappointed. An extra bonus are six caveman-stomping cuts by the Boneheaded 31 Flavors, originally from two low-budget psych-sploitation albums on the Crown label.
