Description
Very rare and highly sought after 1972 first pressing vinyl on the local Los Angeles "Narco Records"
Album cover is in fair condition with some shelf wear but no splits. The record itself is in very good condition.
.. 1971 USA's answer to the early 70's German "Krautrock" (space-psych/prog) movement.
This thing is really tripped out -- a headphones treat full of twirling blips, beeps and swirls in cosmic adventures, navigating to the way-way-out there sparking the flavor buds in your mental phased zones ...The album was noted as such when advised: "Do Not Listen To This Album If You Are Stoned" -- for listeners who dig the likes of The Cosmic Couriers ( ala Planetin Sit-In, Cosmic Jokers, Sci Fi Party) meeting Maxwell Von Braund's "Monster Planet"
...Talk about a forgotten relic from a forgotten era! Even the early works of Tangerine Dream on the Ohr label takes a back seat compared to this album from Los Angeles-bases synthesis guru -- pretty much known only by the most die-hard and fanatical psych & prog LP collectors, those looking for the off-the-wall stuff that's never seen a CD reissue (and not likely to). "THE SIXTH EAR" was released on the private "Narco Records" label, and it's basically an album that is truly a time piece, with that trippy sci-fi cover done by "the band". The minute you live through the opening 9:30 cut, "The Sixth Ear", you experience mainly deep space explorations via ominous electronics & special effects. The next cut, "Journey Into Light" features that odd droning Moog and more sound way-out effects. Continuing your trip sommersaults into an atmospheric acid laced time-ride, bearing titles like "Subconscious Nebula", "Demons of Rage", "Visions Of Kali, "Anandamayi", and "Life". This is truly a wonderful album to a lift-off to with use of headphones, because of all the enhanced electronic effects. Even better is the primitive raw analog sound. If you're looking for the most off-the-wall stuff, look no further...for it's surely gonna take off to the Sunrise of the third solar system...
Nik “Pascal” Raicevic’s chief claim to fame is as a session percussionist for two tracks on the Rolling Stones’ Goat’s Head Soup, but in the early 1970s he released several pioneering electronic freak-out albums under various names.
His first release, in 1970, was an eponymous album under the name “Head”; it was released by Buddah Records and contained tracks with names like “Cannabis Sativa” and “Methedrine”. Buddah had second thoughts fairly quickly and Raicevic was soon on his own. He released four albums on his own label (keeping the drug theme by naming it “Narco Records and Tapes”) before selling all his equipment to Steve Roach and dying of an overdose or finding Jesus or something.
The The Sixth Ear, Lp from 1972, features many great spacey Moog sounds. For you DJs out there, this makes a fantastic music bed for back-announcing. Raicevic credits himself under three different pseudonyms on the involved musicians list on the back cover. The engineer is listed as “William Elder”, but we don’t expect it’s the Mad/Playboy artist.
