Sounds Of Salvation - Love 3 [Sounds Of Salvation] 1974
Reissue of rare early 70's religious psych folk with many sound effects and montage pieces.
"Probably the bizarrest Christian progressive folk album ever recorded. "Paranoid" and "apocalyptic" are words I've seen used to describe this mega-rare British project. Begins with a lengthy sound collage in the tradition of Blackhouse or 'Revolution #9': a strange union of choirs, jackhammers, birds, synthesizer noises, bombs, and advertisements for Dorothy's Soup Kitchen. A hippie sing-along of 'Jesus Is The Rock' ends abruptly with a piercing shriek which is where 'Overseers' begins: a driving throbbing Moody Blues-derived acid rocker, segueing into an impassioned reading of 'Psalm 94' over menacing psychedelic guitar, screaming synths, and wailing voices. Balancing out the intensity are some beautiful folk tunes, some done straightforward, others backed with crowd conversations, kitchen noises, nature sounds, or in one case a couple of screaming girls. And only here will you find both hymns and a Country Joe & The Fish tune ('Who Am I') side by side. Some avant garde poetry readings, including candid prayers recited over 'Kum Ba Ya'. What planet were these guys from? (The Archivist by Ken Scott, 4th Edition)"
