Album of the day
A Spring Honeymoon With God & Family
Sky Saxon and Djin Aquarian, plus three of their friends, recorded some improvisational music in April 2005 which they released as King Arthur's Court on a CD-r called A Spring Honeymoon With God & Family. The physical disc is no longer available for purchase but the album can still be officially downloaded. The pieces on A Spring Honeymoon With God & Family are generally lengthy jams. They center around Djin's rhythmic acoustic guitar and Steve "Scones" Kozyk's bass, with lots of psychedelic electronic treatments and goodies washing through the album. Sounds of nature – birds and bees, rivers and thunderstorms – pop up frequently. It's mesmerizing, really. Sky Saxon actually only sings on four of the album's eight songs, including its longest piece "My Queen". This isn't the place for his growling garage rock posturing, so as on his Source Family recordings from the 1970s like Yodship and Lovers Cosmic Voyage he is gentle here. And very high. He free-associates the random bursts of his own synapses and takes his sweet time doing it. [caption id="attachment_1143" align="aligncenter" width="1000"] Mr. Shasta, in the
