Here's another group I wish I knew more about - info on the web is scarce. This collection of tracks by the studio group Thundermother (reissued by Kissing Spell records) was apparently recorded in 1970-1971 in Wakefield, England and engineered and produced by Mike Levon. It collects their contributions to Astral Navigations, Gagalactyca, Loose Routes I and II."David J. Smith (formerly of David John and the Mood) co-produced and sang on some tracks of an "ad hoc" group (i. e. they were a studio creation) called Thundermother during 1969. This band shared one lp with Lightyears Away called "Astral Navigations" (Holyground 1971). Thundermother's contribution was recorded over one weekend."
Does anyone have any more info on these guys? This is good stuff - grab it if you're into the riff-heavy, distorted side of psych. Please enjoy...
