Grass III supposedly discovered multi-instrumentalist/writer Steve Hoffman and band (bassist John Leighton, lead guitarist John Moreland, drummer Bob Phillips and singer Ron Roman), playing in a West Covina, California teen club. The story is that Hoffman apparently approached Grass informing him that his band was going to be as big as the Beatles. That egomaniac streak didn't seem to bother Grass, who helped the band sign with Gene Norman's Carole Record label. <br /><br />Hoffman responsible for writing all ten tracks, the Grass produced "The Mystic Astrologic Crystal Band" offers up an interesting mix of psych and what you'd call sunshine pop. I've seen a couple of reviews that compare the LP to The Yellow Balloon and the comparison' wasn't too far off, though Hoffman's affection for the sitar and Grass' production touches gave this a far more distinctive psych edge. Musically the collection was pretty much divided between the two genres, though Grass added interesting production touches to virtually every track - 'Early Dawn' shifted from great harmony rich pop to a weird phasing segment and then back again. At least to my ears the psychier tracks provided the album highlights. Among the more interesting numbers were the sitar propelled 'Factory Endeavor' (with an odd series of right to left and back fades), 'Barnyard Philosophy' and 'Publicly Inclined (To Blow Her Mind)'. Elsewhere 'Flowers Never Cry' b/w 'Earl Dawn' was released as a single (Carole catalog number CAR 1004).<br /><br />Hoffman he also made a name for himself in the world of remastering with DCC prior to the company going bacnkrupt in 2001. For anyone interested, Hoffman has an extensive website at:<br />http://www.stevehoffman.tv/adamus67https://www.blogger.com/profile/07035959023698485029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379959197726431640.post-90650987222972748892012-03-25T19:24:56.750+03:002012-03-25T19:24:56.750+03:00Adamus67,
