Galactic Zoo Dossier #8
88 pages / large / $16
Plastic Crimewave has assembled a monumental shrine to
garage, psychedelic, folk & obscure music from the past five decades.
Galactic Zoo Dossier #8 includes interviews with folk rock singer Vashti
Bunyan, guitar wizard Peter Walker, communal wizard Djin Aquarian (Ya Ho Wha
13) & the musical archeology of bands like Blue Things & George-Edwards
Group. Galactic Zoo Dossier #8 is mostly hand drawn with brilliant graphic
design. It comes with a companion cd introducing bands that you probably never
heard of – and need to hear, now. The copious amount of comics in this
issue did nothing for me, I would have preferred more articles and interviews.
The cover price is a little steep, even considering the beautiful production
and bonus cd. However, for some of us old (and young) hippies, Galactic Zoo
Dossier #8 is the next best thing to dropping acid (folk).
