Crystalaugur / Terranaut-'72 OBSCURE surf rock-new CD
Crystalaugur / Terranaut
(Dodo DDR 516)
NEW CD
1972. Not much is known about this obscurity. The campfire version is these were burned out US GI¿s who recorded a psych album in Singapore in the early 70s.
The album, would be difficult to get any more simple than this. A basic rhythmic backbone, almost surf rock in texture (especially the guitar leads), sometimes with vocals, sometimes not. It sounds like it was half finished, then possessed by a tax dodge label (in the days when unlimited losses were allowed by the IRS) and released in a small quantity years after it was recorded. Probably the band name and title were made up ¿ which might explain the lack of info.
for fans of obscure basement recordings.
