Dos números favoritos de Pekenikes: ese increíble “Tabasco” groovie de boite, y un “Tren Transoceánico a Bucaramanga” en bucle percusivo pre disco-electro (prueben a cantar sobre la base rítmica “Love is in The Air” o “Trans Europe Express”). Ambos contenidos en el álbum de 1971, “Ss.Ss.Ss.Q.E.S.M.”, el cuarto LP de la banda para la Hixpavox de Rafael Trabuchelli. Fue la época en que existían dos formaciones distintas que se hacían llamar Pekenikes. Tony Luz quedó situado, junto a Lucas Sáinz y Pedro Luis García, en los Pekenikes de Hispavox, junto a los colombianos Álvaro Serrano, Yamel Uribe y Guillermo Acevedo, el también recién llegado de Colombia, Rodrigo García, país en el que sacó buenos discos con los Speakers y Juan Jiménez a la flauta y saxofón. Esta formación no tuvo continuidad y tras la edición del LP, sólo quedaron los Pekenikes de Movieplay, los de Ignacio Martín Sequeiros, Félix Arribas y Vicente Gasca.

Shadoks Music reissues

The German label Shadoks Music has just reissued three obscure late ‘60s/early ‘70s albums. Details and songs below:

1. Farm – Farm

These guys were from Southern Illinois and this, their lone album, came out in 1971. Farm were a boogie rock band and you can hear the Allman Brothers and Canned Heat here, as well as shades of Santana and Neil Young. But “Let That Boy Boogie” sounds like—instrumentally, at least—what AC/DC might have resembled, had they existed in the early ‘70s. The lyrics leave much to be desired, but just imagine Bon Scott singing and it’ll be alright.

2. The Old Man & The Sea – The Old Man & The Sea

Hailing from Denmark, this Scandinavian group’s self-titled album was released in 1972 and limited to 500 copies. Most of the record is fairly standard prog rock, with a large debt owed to the group Yes. The prog genre is known for its busy arrangements and professional musicianship, where it’s very possible just as much attention was paid to the structure of the song as was to the writing of the tune itself (sometimes even more so). That seems to be largely the case here, though “Lady Nasty,” one of two bonus cuts, is a highlight. “The Monk Song Part 2” finds the band in a heavier, Deep Purple mood, and it’s the best of the bunch.

3. Los Speakers – En El Maravilloso Mundo De Ingeson

The Speakers were a Columbian unit and had released four LPs by the time this one came out on the Columbia label in 1968; it would prove to be their last. The group is obviously influenced by the zaniness of the Mothers of Invention, but other times they bring to mind the psych pop of the Electric Prunes and mid-period Beatles. The majority of the tracks actually sound like folk rock demos. On “Oda A La Gente Mediocre” (translation: “Ode To Mediocre People”) they crank up the fuzz for an Os Mutantes-meets-Fugs freak out.
