Buy this if only for It Crawled Into My Hand.......2006-02-24

Can't believe someone called the music dated. Must be one of those effete snobs Agnew used to rail about. LOL. I guess you could call Gregorian chants dated. I guess you could call Floyd Cramer-ish country piano dated. Hell, punk rock is dated, now. Its all dated now. If it isn't hip-hop, its dated. (and some would argue that's dated, too!) What a weak arguement.

Simply put, the Fugs ICIMHH is their masterpiece. Listen to how many styles they tackle successfully and weave them seamlessly together in a scatalogical pastiche that no one else could match, or even attempt. The second side of It Crawled Into My Hand is the Fugs' paean to Abbey Road's second side. So many classics.
While our other reviewer thinks the early ESP albums are the heart of the Fugs oeuvre, I beg to disagree. It was here, while the band was signed to a major label and could afford to bring in top session players, that they were able to flesh out their songs and reach their maximum potential. Listen to the blistering guitar on Crystal Liason, the aforementioned, country piano on Ramses II, the operatic baritone on The Divine Toe Pt.II. There is no question this is a fully realized production that makes the ESP albums sound almost amateurish.
Finally, this long forgotten masterpiece gets to see the light of day again. Too bad you have to shell out so much for it. It would have been nice to see this as a single release since it was the apex of their career.

It will crawl into your hand, honest!.......2005-06-06

So far, this is the only CD release of the Fugs' finest album, their out-of-print masterpiece: It crawled into my hand, honest. The best-funded and best-produced of the Fugs' albums, ICIMHH is rich with references to surrealism, Egytpology, politics, psychedelia, and (of course) the arcane sexual practices of Sixties hipsters. The range of musical styles is pure post-Beatles anything-goes, from Gregorial chant to chamber orchestra to folk to Nashville country, and the lyrical/satirical (satyrical?) wit of Ed Sanders, Tuli Kupferberg, and Ken Weaver is stroboscopic. The 40-page liner-notes booklet is a knowledgeable and honest history of the permutations of the Fugs throughout their career.

Other Fugs albums included in this 3-CD collection have not stood up as well to the passage of time (as least, of my time), but it doesn't matter. Start with Track 11 to begin ICIMHH. I expect some previous Amazon reviewers didn't get that far, and I sympathize.

ICIMHH is an important incursion of the avant guarde into rock history, on a par with The Mothers' We're only in it for the Money. It's funny, and it's beautiful, and, oh yeah, it's not for the easily offended.

for diehard fans only.......2004-08-13

these recordings are where the fugs mix of sexual outrageousness, political radicalism and social satire started to wear thin. since neither tuli kupferberg or ed sanders were musicians their music got weaker as they went along. some of the musical styles satirized here were already passe in 1970 and are now totally extinct. strangely these recordings are both politically radical and musically dated. look, the fugs first album and the fugs second album are classic and essential to anyone who wants to know or understand what the 1960s counterculture was like. both cds are miracles and highly recommended. electromagnetic steamboat is for diehard fans only.

Revolution and Sex!!!.......2003-11-21

Yup! According to The Fabulous Fugs that seemed to be the answer in the turbulent '60s as well as in these troubled times. I am so glad to have got this 3-cd set thru Amazon Marketplace sellers. Some of you older guys might remember these fellas. After cutting a few pretty rough (but brilliant) albums for the ESP label they somehow got a contract with Frank Sinatra's Reprise label and put out 4 more works of brilliance: TENDERNESS JUNCTION; IT CRAWLED INTO MY HAND, HONEST!; THE BELLE OF AVENUE 'A' and GOLDEN FILTH. All these records are here COMPLETE on the first two cds. The third disc has some stuff they cut for Atlantic Records that was never released by that label although some of these tunes made it to "Tenderness Junction" in a remixed or slightly different version. Especially entertaining here is Ed Sanders' 15 minute 'Prom Night' monologue right before they sing their doowop classic, the immortal "Wet Dream." There are also some promo tracks. The Rhino cd comes with a neat booklet with lots of information and some great photos and album cover art. DON'T MISS THIS ESSENTIAL PACKAGE! Grab it while you can and put it on the shelf right next to the Mothers Of Invention and Bonzo Dog DooDah Band cds. Now, if Rhino would only release the 3 funky albums Little Richard did for the Reprise label on a double cd I'd be a REALLY happy guy. Back to the land of dreams. Cheers!

Album Description

Finally back in print, we're happy to present two albums of "agitprop" electronic music (Tract and To Kill A Sunrise) cut between 1968 and 1975 by mysterious & controversial Turkish composer Ilhan Mimaroglu - one of the truly underrepresented pioneers of the golden age of the Princeton-Columbia electronic music scene. Mimaroglu is best known for his work with Edgard Varese, mentor Vladimir Ussachevsky, a spellbinding collaboration with jazz musician Freddy Hubbard and as a chief composer of Fellini's Satyricon, as well as for electronic albums released on his own Finnadar label. Produced as a direct reaction to an extended period of intense repression in Turkey, Tract is a scrambled mash-up peppered with spunky electronic bursts, looped radio ads, the breathy, defiant vocals of Turkish singer Tuly Sand and the go-go-licious backing jams of little-known psych group Topsy Turvy Moon - all shot through with lines lifted from old left-wing standbys Chairman Mao, Karl Marx & Bertolt Brecht. To Kill A Sunrise follows suit with a wild, uncompromising, orgiastic electro-dirge for those who are murdered by the lackeys of the ruling class while the collection closer, "La Ruche," brings the audio gestalt to a somewhat subdued end. Brilliantly remastered from the original tapes, Agitation features close to 80 minutes of music, original liner notes and new notes by Keith Fullerton Whitman (Hrvatski).
