CHAIN MAIL - THE PSYCHEDELIC SUITE

  • chain mail: the psychedelic suite
        (2016, cd, canada, private release)
Chain Mail is Howie Kittelson and James Vincent Sloan, plus a lot of guest musicians.
The duo released “The Psychedelic Suite” as a limited edition private release in 2016. Five hundred numbered copies were issued.

Besides the fact that this is a brilliant album, there are also some fun facts and even a hidden gem :

‘Psych Level 1’ sampled FZ’s ‘A Few Moments With Brother A. West’.
‘Psych Level 5’ sampled Gene Simmons’ ‘Black Tongue’ (credited to Simmons / FZ) and included fragments from The Monkees’ “Head” movie.

And “The Psychedlic Suite” presented two hidden tracks, one of which is Howie’s version of FZ’s ‘Watermelon In Easter Hay’. The same piece sampled Dweezil Zappa’s recording of FZ’s ‘Peaches En Regalia’.

A fine addition to "The Others Of Invention" !

And here's an outtake that did not make it onto the album :
