Red Dirt is an (extremely) obscure UK psychedelic blues rock band that both formed and evaporated in 1970. This album represents their only output before their presence was smothered by the hundreds of other so-so blues rock acts that existed in the country at the time. While most of this album, besides from the opening track and the one that follows it, tends to be a little dull or uninventive by late 60s/early 70s standards, this band, at the very least, is a breath of fresh air compared to the trite 'high-school' psych rock acts that flood clubs and basements nowadays, peddling their best, albeit very poor, Black Angels/Witchcraft/Doors/Zeppelin impressions to the gaping maws of kids who would much rather play dress-up and pretend their the next wave of the Flower Children, than get with the fucking program, get a fucking job, and stop living off of their parents.

Flower Travellin' Band
Flower Travellin' Band was a Japanese Psychedelic band from the late 60s/early 70s. They started off as a 60s rock cover band, until eventually covering Black Sabbath and shooting off into a sound of their own. There's not many places online where you can get most of their albums in one place--enjoy it while you can:
Satori
Anywhere
Made in Japan
Eccentric Doomy Japanese Psychedelia. If you're not familiar with the band yet, I would start off with Satori.

Helios Creed - Kiss to the Brain
As appreciation for the wonderful blogger who posted the first Helios Creed album on Lucidmedia (lucidmedia.blogspot.com), here is Kiss to the Brain by the aforementioned. I only own this one album by him, but what an album this is...
Imagine listening to The Residents, at half the RPM, on LSD. The opening track, XL-35 and Throw Away the Rind (which we played on the show) are my favorites.
You're doing yourself a huge favor
