Peter Thomas "Sound Music Album 5" Golden Ring S 5051-23 Psych Masterpiece @320K

  The best thing you can hope for on ebay is that the seller doesn't realize what he has.  Such was the case with this record.  They not only mislabeled it but also priced it the same giveaway price as the other mediocre sound music albums they were offering.  I guess they didn't realize they were possessing one of the absolute rarest and finest psych records to ever come out of library music.  Many of you have already experienced this masterpiece but for those that haven't, Oh snaps, this thing is heavy.  It's all about Side A, every jam is golden, fuzz funk mayhem!  I wonder if he put the octofuzz guitar through his synthesizer, cause that's how it sounds to me, so unique and badass.  "Astral Snow" is so crazy with that sub bass coming out the left channel and that insane bass line, what?  "Spindle"  is one of the funnest experimental funk jams ever.  "Coordinates Meeting" sounds like some gangsta space aliens came to get gnarly.  Many would say Klaus Weiss has the best Golden Ring stuff, but I think this record is Golden Ring's finest moment.  Peter Thomas must have been possessed by an outer space fuzz demon to make this kind of shit.  So enjoy my rip @320K from my personal collection.  Thanks, Chris Tillotson

Peter Thomas "Electronic Water" Golden Ring A 30 021 RM 197? Rip @320K

  Another rad record by Peter Thomas.  This one sounds a bunch like the "Happy And Crazy Music" releases by Alberto Baldan Bembo & David Perian.  The song that stands out to me though is, "Milky Way" which sounds more like a Jacky Giordano jam or something.  I was really curious to how this record was gonna sound based on the lack of hype around it, but it is thankfully super dope.  As always the production is just amazing and the synth sounds are superb!  Thomas is obviously just having tons of fun in the studio, not going completely into outer space, just writing music for stony dog walks.  My favorite time for music was when psych prog bands first started experimenting with synths, the synths just accompany the arrangements like they're a flute or something.  In the 80's till current. it seems you're either an electronic artist or a band, no in-between.  Peter Thomas does this really well, like all the other moogploitation albums of the time, he's highlighting his new toy around funk and jazz.  Also check the pics from the inner sleeve with all the other Golden Ring releases, super nice.  Enjoy from my personal collection ripped @320K.  Thanks,Chris Tillotson     GET IT HERE!

Peter Thomas "Orion 2000" 1975 Golden Ring- 2011 Roundtable rip @256K

     Recorded in 1970 by Thomas & his Sound Orchestra, this outer space freak beat session was never released until 1975, by Golden Ring.  So many styles and elements were incorporated into these library tracks, from spy jazz to space age big band.  Truly an amazing record!  This is the 2011 "Rountable" reissue,  which if you don't already know is an amazing reissue label specializing in obscure library and soundtrack records.  So enjoy this rip @256K from my personal collection and go buy the reissue!   GET IT HERE!

Peter Thomas "Sound Music Album 6" Golden Ring 1973? Rip@320K Fuzzy Funky Freakout!

    These are the kind of library records I always hope to find!  I like to think of 5&6 like Peter Thomas's lost weekend or something.  Just experimenting with friends all wasted with the tape machine running.  Tons of synth, probably the Tho-Wi-Phon he invented, wobbly bass, and the most amazing octave fuzz guitar tone.  Many of the tracks remind me of the Krautrock bands of the time like Guru Guru or Can.  I don't know if all of these came in a generic sound music jacket but this one did, and there is no date printed anywhere.  If 5 came out in 1973 and 7 came out in 1975, I would assume this one came out in 1973 cause the style is almost the same as 5.  Unfortunately I do not own a personal copy of Sound Music Album 5, thus I will not post it.  There are plenty of rips floating around the net though, and if you do a little search I'm sure you will find it, and please do, because that one is a true psych masterpiece.  So enjoy this fresh rip @320K from my personal collection and don't forget to leave a comment!  Thanks, Chris Tillotson

Peter Thomas "Sound Music Album 7" Golden Ring 1975 Rip @320K

   Another awesome Sound Music Album from Peter Thomas.  Many dope jams on this, ranging from dark heavy grooves, to a goofy Charlie Brown type song.  His style is definitely more straight forward and focused here than 5&6, but is a welcome direction I think.  The album starts off super strong with, "Dark Natur", with its heavy piano stabs, saw wave sweeps, and incredible bass riffs.  The feel good grooves of, "Sound Colours" is another standout, I could listen to that style all day.  Most of the songs have 2 versions with slight variations and mixes.  So enjoy another Sound Music Album ripped from my personal collection @320K & don't forget to leave a comment!  Thanks Chris Tillotson    GET IT HERE!

Peter Thomas "Sound Music Album 4" Golden Ring 1973 Rip @320K

  One of my favourite Peter Thomas records, this is where I think he just really decided to do whatever he wanted, a definite bridge from 1,2,3 to 5 and 6.   It might be my favourite unlistenable record to listen to, ha ha.  The music is still jazz band based, instead of fuzz and synth (Sound Music 5 & 6) but the structures are so disorienting and fresh.  When me and my friends were jamming this for the first time, one guy said, this is the best shit I've heard, while someone else said, he couldn't stand it.  So I guess it's a love it or hate it record, regardless it's definitely worth your time.  Enjoy from my personal collection rip@320K and please don't forget to leave a comment.  Thanks, Chris Tillotson     Update:First rip had "Schizostrings" cut off, the link has been updated with full version of schizostrings, sorry for my mistake  11/15/2013       GET IT HERE!

Peter Thomas & Sten Clift "Sound Music Album 3" Golden Ring 1973 Rip @320K

     Continuing on with Golden Ring, another awesome record by Thomas & Clift.  Described as a backdrop for "City Traffic"  many of the songs on side 1 depict a jazzy bewilderment of being in a big city for the first time.  Side 2 starts with "Stop Press" and things turn psychotic and murdurous with dark spy jazz.  Standouts for me are, "Documentation" with its incredible drumming and "To Fly The Canyon" with its beautiful recording.  So enjoy this from my personal collection and leave comments if you dig. Thanks, Chris Tillotson                  GET IT HERE!

Peter Thomas & Sten Clift "Sound Music Album No.2" Golden Ring 1973 Rip @320K

      Great early library record from Peter Thomas & Sten Clift on the obscure German label, Golden Ring.  Peter Thomas pretty much dominated the early Sound Music Albums and I'm glad for it, everything from space age spy jazz to psych funk.  This one sticks mostly to the jazz side, with incredible drumming, muted bass and brass but does get pretty out there on side 2.  The drumming is the standout for me, similar to Hansson & Karlsson recordings or UK band, Broadcast.  The beautiful, "Alien Lands" or the psychotic, "Corruption" are definite standouts but I can't forget the outer space explorations of, "Galaxy Fall Out."  So please enjoy this from my personal collection @320K and don't forget to leave a comment.  Thanks, Chris Tillotson         GET IT HERE!
