CHICO MAGNETIC BAND - Chico Magnetic Band

Chico Magnetic Bands eponymous album, released by French Vogue subsidiary Box Office label in 1971, defines the term heavy Psychedelia. These bunch of freaks, lead by Algerian born Mahmoud Chico Ayari were clearly influenced by the Jimi Hendrix Experience but somehow they created a song of their own: violent, trashy, stoned as hell heavy psych featuring demented vocals, furious guitars, loud rhythm section and mindblowing studio effects including phasing, backward tapes, weird and groovy electronics. Eight killer tracks including their insane fuzzed-out deconstruction of Hendrixs Crosstown Traffic and cult classics like Pop Pull Hair, Explosion, Pop Orbit. This reissue includes a good number of bonus tracks (a total of 8 on the CD making their complete recordings). Features an insert with full band story and rare photos. Edition of 600 papersleeve CDs. -Nosmoke
