Infusing the sludge rock of Blue Cheer with Punk's inexhaustible energy, the High Rise experience is nothing short of a glorious rock 'n' roll catharsis. The band's Hard Psyche songs range in length from fifty-second blasts to fifteen-minute odysseys; rest assured that every tune is packed to capacity with as much wah-wah frenzy as is humanly possible. Their <I>High Rise II</I>, released by Japanese PSF Records, was hard-won collector's gold until a series of 1998 reissues finally made that and other records available to rabid fans around the world. Without question the undisputed kings of modern Psychedelic music. - Doug RussellHard Psycheen720Thu, 26 Nov 2009 16:25:17 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.62046&variant=artist-playlists&rws=%2Fhigh-rise%2Fplaylists.rss This Japanese power trio -- and rarely has the word "power" seemed so appropriate -- takes deep-groove, rump-shaking, freak-out ultrarock to the peak of delirious ecstasy, reeling in the faithful with the heaviest riffs around.
