09/10/10 - MPB 3: The Third Ear, November 1st

A Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble Exploding In Your Mind Volume 3: The Third Ear is released on... I dunno, Monstrous Bubble Records, History Records, nothing at all, it depends where you read. On the 1st November 2010. The cover looks something like this -> and, inevitably, it's mixed by The Amorphous Androgynous. Most excitingly for us is the presence of an exclusive Amorphous track, In Fear - no idea what that is yet - plus there are some tracks that date back right to MPB radio show vol 1 from 1997 in there, so it'll be a continuation from the previous volumes and no doubt a smash hit with the critics once more. Timothy Leary pops his head in, which is odd given Gaz's tee-total organic food no drugs or other naughty things existence, but when did anything ever make sense in the world of the Amorphous Androgynous. Whatever. This will surely be another excellently mixed disc of safe sounding groovy psych and bafflingly terrifying oddities from the history of music (just please nothing like that Lightning Tree track again. That is still the soundtrack to many of my nightmares). This is getting rather personal. Here's the tracklist, courtesy of Play.com
