Cave Rock

Cave Rock

Cromagnon: Austin Grasmere, Brian Eliot.
Cromagnon (ESP): Austin Grasmere, Brian Elliot (vocals).
Personnel: Connecticut Tribe (background vocals).
Audio Remasterer: Douglas McGregor.
Recording information: A1 Sound Studio, New York, NY (1969).
Although released in 1969, this chaotic sound collage of chants, tribal drums, guitar feedback, and bagpipes presages the work of post-punk agitators like Psychic TV and Einstürzende Neubauten. Tracks like "Ritual Feast Of The Libido," which basically revolves around distressed male screaming, are not for the faint of heart, but Cro Magnon's Austin Grasmere and Brian Elliot also display a sense of humor on "Fantasy" which features the kind of jaunty tune the duo might have written during their stint as pop-idol songsmiths, and "First World Of Bronze," which pairs liturgical-sounding chant in the right channel with a Hendrix-y guitar part in the left. This 2009 edition was remastered and re-released by the ESP label.
