Aterciopelados Disco Grafia Bobby

No, not THAT Bobby Brown.This is a bizarro one-man-band from Hawaii who recorded during the mid-seventies. I don't know why this guy's stuff is slowly disappearing from the internet, because it is quite exceptional. It kind of bridges the (albeit large) gap between spaced-out new age drone and psych-folk, with a lot of laid-back Hawaiian influence as well.The story goes that this loner surfer-type guy built this giant.instrument??

• Aterciopelados Discografia Bobby Brown

Out of whatever he had laying around. So he literally plays all the sounds you're hearing at once, at least on most of the tracks.

You can kind of see his gadget on the cover of his first LP, 'The Enlightening Beam of Axonda,' and it looks basically fucked. He and his dog would travel around in an old van wherever the surfing was good, giving impromptu performances of these strange, mellow songs.

I've read his voice described as similar to Tim Buckley, which I guess is kind of true.The first album is very odd, sounding kind of like a gamelan orchestra playing 70's folk rock. The second album, 'Bobby Brown Live,' is not quite so strange, but the story behind it is definitely weird.

Supposedly, he was picked to open for Fleetwood Mac (which, to me, sounds like a big deal) and recorded the performance for this album. Brown, however, was unsatisfied with the crowd sounds(!), feeling they distracted from the music, and re-recorded the entire thing in his van AFTER the show. Whatever the case, it doesn't really sound like a 'live' record or anything.A few years later, he did a much more pop-oriented album called 'Prayers of a One Man Band.' Well.it's HIS interpretation of pop music, which is still pretty odd. It's got a lot of vintage synths and drum machines, and a lot of people seem to feel it's his best release. I dunno about that, but it is very good. The songs are also MUCH shorter, which might appeal to some listeners.Anyhow, here are all three albums for ya to check out:Bobby Brown - 'The Enlightening Beam of Axonda'.
