oddities

California’s Upsilon Acrux may not be as intense as grindcore bands in tempo and noise, but it’s complex oddtimed riffage and polyrhythmic drumming (and silly album names?) is quite correctly labeled as “brutal prog“.

The saying “No job too silly to take seriously” being his motto, Mort Garson wrote many things that would make a normal person shake his/her head and say “get a life, man.” He wrote “The Wozard of Id”, a psychedelic satire with environmental sound effects and Nancy Sinatra (credited as “Suzy Jane Hokum”) as Dorothy.
