It's amazing to me that such great psychedelic music like this is still so easily available. Good for us, I guess, but any of Hungarian band Illes' first five albums are like manna from the acid-drenched heavens for us psych-heads. They've clearly ingested, digested and egested all the bands and sounds we love – Pink Floyd (“Jelbeszed” opens exactly like “Crumbling Land”), the Beatles (the super catchy “Szemetdomb” could've easily fit on Abbey Road) and even the James Gang (the sweaty, hairy, funk-psych rocker “Nekem Ply Mindegy” is pure 70's gold). You want a trippy tribal hippie shakedown? “A Szo Veszelyes Fegyver” fits the bill nicely. How about a floaty flute psych pop number with a weird bagpipe coda? Head over to “Viragenek.” Look, you don't have to know what they're singing about. All I know is that Add A Kezed means Give Me Your Hand. I think. Just know this: Fans of Illes consider this to be their finest album. And even though it came out in 1972, it could very easily be a product of the late 60's. And a pretty darn good one at that.It's amazing to me that such great psychedelic music like this is still so easily available.
