"When The Ride Is Over You Can Go To Sleep"


The Red Crayola 'The Parable Of Arable Land' (1967)
This is a real weirdo record, basically a series of songs contained within "free form freak-out"s (aka noise). Spacemen 3 fans will thrill to hear the original version of "Transparent Radiation."
From the liner notes:
"THE RED CRAYOLA" - Had come to Andrus Studio with a few friends, 50 to be exact, to record a free form freak-out album. They brought with them their own form of music - a bell, buzzsaw, motorcycle, guitars, drums, organs, bottles, sticks, mouth bow, rocks, balloons, kazoos, flutes, piccolos, a hammer, jugs and just about every other item you can think of that makes noise.
Technical note - this is a vinyl rip and because of the "free form freak-out" nature of this record I had to make guesses as to where to divide tracks (mainly on side one, the first three tracks). It is best listened to as a gapless album with massive amounts of your favorite hallucinogen. Wikipedia has more Red Krayola info.
