Beschreibung
The perfect marriage between psychedelia, pop and experimental sounds.
This unique album by Bill Holt, first released in 1974, sounded way ahead of its time and became an international cult classic in the following decades.
A perfect example of what it was called “Head Music” at the time, Dreamies consists of two large suits full of Lennon-esque vocals, sound collages, early electronics and proto-sampling.
*Remastered sound
*Original artwork in hard cardboard sleeve
*Repro of the rare original insert
*Extra insert with liner notes by Klemen Breznikar (It’s Psychedelic Baby) and photos
“One of the top 50 Out There Albums Of All Time”
– Mojo
“Inspired by the aural collage of The Beatles’ “Revolution Number 9”, Bill Holt quit his straight job in 1972 to follow his musical muse, hoarding various electronic gadgets and an acoustic guitar and holing up in his basement. He emerged a year later with DREAMIES, one of the finest pieces of experimental pop from the era”
– Stanton Swihart, The All Music Guide
“The overall effect is something like a primordial Olivia Tremor Control, and easily as wild and unfettered as anything the Residents were doing in the 70s. Dreamies has its obvious and acknowledged influences– the Beatles and John Cage chief among them– but it’s also clearly the work of an untutored auteur dissecting his own mind in the basement on reel-to-reel”
– Joe Tangari, Pitchfork
