Thanks, as always, to everybody who lends COTU their ears & support. It's very much appreciated.

Well, I was going to say that I haven't expected to hear NUDESWIRL within COTU set up, but I should have been thinking that eventually they will be part of it. Eventually and they are now. Again, I haven't recognized MONSTER MAGNET. Dave's voice was kinda masked, otherwise is true, I don't know them that well. As hinted earlier in the thread, TAGGETT are its highight for me, not far behind them are KINGDOM.

In all honesty, i hadn't previously heard Nudeswirl until about a month ago when the song i included here popped up on an old episode of 'Beavis & Butthead' & caught my ear. Inspiration can come from the unlikeliest of sources.
That Kingdom album doesn't get mentioned very much for some reason but it's a consistently good listen throughout, with plenty of the olde 'period colour'. A nicely balanced blend of really well written & performed Heavy Rock & Psych, mostly in the form of tight concise songs rather than the lengthy self-indulgence that's often found on records of that vintage. I think you may well enjoy it Nenad.
