Julian Cope is making me do it

September 30th, 2004 by badger

Somehow i got it into my head that this was an Ohio band too, but i must have transliterated Ontario into Ohio. Dumbass. I didn’t really appreciate the uniqueness of the Velvets crossed with early Pink Floyd until recently, when i started going back through Cope’s record reviews to see what i might have missed. This band is no mere curiosity or passing fit of contrariness on my part. This is a truly lost album from a lost band, one that ought to have better preserved legacy. Go read Julian’s take if you like.

Simply Saucer “Instant Pleasure”

Simply Saucer “Bullet Proof Nothing”

Can you believe that Daniel Lanois produced these songs? Me neither.

    Daniel Lanois didn’t produce it…his elder brother Bob did it , in their mom’s basement. Dan made some technical suggestions, but the session just happened, like some force of nature.
    Any other questions, feel free to ask. I put this thing together as a vinyl release in 1989. The response has been incredible. Thank you!

    i think that i like Bob’s work better then.

    And i’m happy that you put this together on vinyl. it richly deserves to be heard.
