The first studio recordings of The Electric Flag, Michael Bloomfield’s swaggering soul / jazz / rock ensemble… Fine Jung Thing and Peter Gets Off are wild, jazzy rockers, which perfectly score Fonda’s Sunset Strip / trip adventures… Also, there are a few early efforts from synthesizer pioneer Paul Beaver’
All Music
Starring Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper, written by Jack Nicholson and directed by Roger Corman, The Trip practically defines the psychedelic exploito film genre. Its superb soundtrack was originally released in September 1967, and features 18 tracks by the nascent Electric Flag, with outstanding guitar from the great Mike Bloomfield, and prominent contributions from Moog maestro Paul Beaver. Showing influences from rock, blues, jazz and classical music, it is simply one of the best psychedelic albums of the period, and is reissued in its full form for the first time.

ReplyDeleteThanks for your effort
Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot...
ReplyDeleteWonderful music indeed. Just wondering what that term 'exploitation' mean. As if Fonda, Hopper and Nicholson did not have any psychedelic experiences? No doubt that movie could not have been made by anyone not being an experienced tripper and gives a rather convincing and realistic account of a psychedelic adventure.
