ACID DREAMS TESTAMENT

• various artists: acid dreams testament
      (2012 lp, uk, spiral groove)

Zappa freaks know the Acid Dreams Testament sampler because it included Teddy & His Patches performing "Suzy Creamcheese".
Teddy & His Patches released the track on 7" in 1967!
It got released on the (unofficial) Acid Dreams Testament CD sampler in 1988.
And this CD-release got a(n unofficial) vinyl re-issue, with slightly altered album cover art in 2012.

And the 1967 7" also exists as a 2016 counterfeit release...

DALE BOZZIO

from Glass Onyon PR

Laura Espinoza and Lunden Reign Release New Single Feat. Missing Persons Legend Dale Bozzio

“Somewhere There Forever” ft. Dale Bozzio by Laura Espinoza and Lunden Reign

Dale Bozzio, legendary lead singer of Missing Persons, makes a special guest appearance and joins Mindy Milburn on vocals to record Laura Espinoza and Lunden Reign's newest single, “Somewhere There Forever.” This is a quirky, eclectic song about a person who doesn't want to let go of someone they love and miss very much, but that person is now only in their memories.

“Walking down a graveyard path near here,
Drinking in the moonshine chasing fears,
You are calling so loquacious, You are falling so impatient
Then I realize you have disappeared”

Along with Dale Bozzio, Mindy Milburn and Laura Espinoza, “Somewhere There Forever” also features some of LA's most talented musicians including Geoff Pearlman (Echo in the Canyon Band); Michael Bluestein (Foreigner); Matt Denis; Noel Jasso, Miranda Miller and Julian Tomarin.


“'Somewhere There Forever' takes me back to the '90s with No Doubt's 'Tragic Kingdom' and 'Letters to Cleo.' This is the sound that I had hoped those bands would continue with on the radio, but that never happened. You continue to create music we wish we heard on popular radio. Great job.” - Warren Kurtz, Goldmine Music Magazine

“Somewhere There Forever” will be released world-wide on October 1, 2019 on all major music platforms including: iTunes, Apple Music, and Spotify.

This is the second single released this year by Laura Espinoza and Lunden Reign. Their song “Follow Me to the Sun” was released in April, 2019. Both will be combined into the bands upcoming third album slated for release in mid 2020. Both songs written by Laura Espinoza.

STEF KAMIL CARLENS - MAKING SENSE OF ∞

      (2019, cd, bel, pias recordings piasb602cd)

Stef Kamil Carlens' new album!!
Beautiful.
If you're familiar with Zita Swoon or with Stef Kamil's previous release, "Stuck In The Status Quo", you sort of know what to expect and you won't be disappointed.
Quite the contrary, actually.

Here's 'My Soul Is In The Desert' :

https://stefkamilcarlens.be/

‘‘Back On The Road‘‘, a road trip that takes you to a dusty, hot desert, kicks off the album impressively and is also the new single, which is now available everywhere.

"Someone leaves his house, his cocoon, his security, his permanent place and starts to travel. He has done it before, so the feeling of being on the road and the places where he ends up are familiar. Or does he recognize a world he has seen before in a dream? His garden, where roses once bloomed, is overgrown with weeds and bamboo. His old familiar house has been swallowed up by nature, but his heart beats like never before, and he feels his blood rush through his veins like a wild stream."
