{"product_id":"motherlight","title":"Motherlight","description":"\u003cp\u003eA reissue of this much sought after 1970 album. A psych classic with a mint original copy fetching around £1500. There is a delicious fuzzy ethereal feel to the entire album from Malone’s laid back lead vocals to a mastery of the possibilities of the recording studio. The songs are crackers as well: \u003ci\u003eMona Lose\u003c\/i\u003e sounding like the Kinks on valium whereas \u003ci\u003eThe Lens\u003c\/i\u003e blasts towards an acid drenched shore complete with the sort of lyrics –“fishermen are casting a net to hold my mind” – that Syd Barrett would have been proud of. In fact, on the subject of Syd there are some wonderful guitar solos on the LP played, it is believed, by Boback that range from the searing to the sublime. Malone’s skills as a pliant arranger are wonderfully showcased on the almost suite-like \u003ci\u003eHouse Of Many Windows\u003c\/i\u003e which at one point has a wonderful harpsichord \/ piano \/ organ interlude. At the other end of the scale Johns Chant starts off like a Monty Python sketch with a spoken word segment before moving into a piano driven mantra. \u003ci\u003eBurning The Weed\u003c\/i\u003e is an ambiguous title that contain possible lyrical drug puns – “never felt so funny burning the week” and “sweeter than honey burning the weed” – although the thrust of the song is about burning weeds in a garden. The album ends with a sound collage that reprises all of the tracks on the LP. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLP - 180 Gram Vinyl.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secret Records","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50485188133195,"sku":"1007436","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"LP - Purple","offer_id":51947672568139,"sku":"R6267-6391","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/bc07c9c0-de97-4325-9bc7-ef352afe932c_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727596968","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/motherlight","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
