Follow The Sun (CD)

Follow the Sun ist einen Zusammenstellung von 20 Cuts von gesuchten grossen und weniger bekannten Momenten australischen 70ies Rock und Folk, gerne mit einem subversiven und psychedelischen Twist. Follow The Sun compiles twenty cuts dug from dusty bins by Mikey Young (Total Control, Eddy Current Suppression Ring) and Keith Abrahamsson (Founder / Head of A&R at Anthology Recordings and Mexican Summer) surveying the sought after sound of Australias lesser and greater known moments of 70s rock, folk, and their in-between offspring. Follow The Sun filters the sublime and sometimes subversive psychedelic airwaves transmitted around the world from Americas terrestrial platforms during the golden age of gentle, exploratory FM through a distinctly Australian lens. Follow The Sun does not represent those Australian acts who produced a number one single leading to international fame and fortune. Some of the artists on the compilation never even made the local hit parade. But the fact that many of these artists didnt enjoy chart success is secondary; these artists represent the consciousness of their time. The scuffed shuffle of Mata Haris Easy drastically contrasts the loner vibes of Gary Shearstons Witnessing, while Megan Sue Hicks Hey, Can You Come Out And Play hypnotizes a la Shocking Blue and Trevor McNamaras Country Corn spins out like a rural Skip Spence tune. Hailing from distant, disparate cities across the wide Australian map, each of these artists represent distinct, different forms of pop music.
