Julian Jay Savarin – Tell Me. Rare unreleased prog LP 1974. Julian’s Treatment.

Rise Above Records — Fri, 14 Feb 2025 09:28:32 +0000

Taken from the forthcoming (previously unreleased) third album by Julian Jay Savarin/Julian’s Treatment – Beyond The Outer Mirr. Soon to be released by Rise Above Relics.

Julian’s Treatment were formed in late 1960s London, at the tail-end of the psychedelic era, which morphed into the early progressive rock scene. Band leader Julian Jay Savarin, of French/Mayan descent, left Dominica in the early 60s to study law in the UK. His fascination with space and aviation led him to join the R.A.F. before immersing himself in London’s exciting underground music scene.

The cosmically enhanced debut (double concept) album by Julian’s Treatment, titled: A Time Before This, was released in 1970 and has gone on to be a cult classic of the era. As Julian turned his talents toward becoming a prolific Science Fiction writer, Julian’s Treatment stepped away from the live arena. As a result they became a studio band with new members, including the enigmatic (former Catapilla) vocalist ‘Lady Jo Meek’. A second album was recorded with this new line-up, as a companion to Julian’s first book: Waiters On The Dance, being published in 1972. The album, of the same name was released in early 1973.

Since then, Julian went on to have an impressive volume of acclaimed books published in his name, though nothing has been heard of him musically. Little did we all know that a follow-up album to Waiters On the Dance had been recorded in 1974 but, for whatever reason, it has never seen the light of day, until now!

Beyond The Outer Mirr is, undoubtedly a holy grail from the golden era of early progressive rock. Vocalist, Lady Jo Meek, puts in an incredible performance which will leave listeners stunned.

Switchblade Cheetah – Chapel Of The Bitch (2016) (Full Album)

Stoned Meadow Of Doom 2 — Sun, 11 Jun 2017 01:00:36 +0000

Now this is what good garage-punk is supposed to sound like. Burning up from down south in Tallahassee, FL, Switchblade Cheetah recently released their latest lo-fi opus, Chapel of the Bitch. Chapel of the Bitch is “a masterpiece” putting together all the best elements of raw emotional volatile rock’n’roll from the past 70 years. From surf to hardcore—this album has it all! The album is led by single “All That Blood” which is a rollicking glam-fuzz rock number in a similar vein to Ty Segall but still altogether Switchblade Cheetah’s own. There’s a moment in the chorus where the vocal drops out for a moment, not unlike a fist-cocking backwards, before the follow through punch of “BLOOD!” Love it.
