It's like Miles Davies sountrack to Elevator To The Gallows meets Ravi Shankar in his Beatles Guru times !

Believe it or not, I knew this was real, just hadn't heard them in AGES. Also had no clue they recorded more than maybe a couple things. I believe someone I knew years and years ago had a single? But yeah, the name 40 Watt Banana stuck with me all that time, if for no other reason its so stupid. The music isn't at all bad though, I'm playing it now and probably will again when in that mood.

Alice Colteane, Donald Byrd, Ravi Shankar, Mahavishu Orschestra, Krautrock, Sam Gopal, Beatles for sure

Deliciously mindmashing

They are a New Zealand band from the late 1960s and early 1970s.

A French band?

If this is AI, why does a Google search on "40 Watt Banana" come up with so many results. For those of you who weren't born till decades later, there was a great deal of actual experimentation and creativity in music during this time. Safety was a word reserved for lessons on crossing the street and people were willing to take risks.

Excellent album

It's got a little Emerson Lake and Palmer vibe.

The trumpet player is excellent. Who would have thought it would blend so well with tablas and a sitar.

John, I have peeled the banana 🍌 The band takes you on a magical mystery tour. The album takes you on a journey to the center of the mind. Captivating psychedelic jazz! Love the Indian influence with the Ravi Shankar-ish sitar and some of that sounds like George Harrison/Beatles who introduced rock to the sitar. Ty

I love it! A real time trip. For a 72 year old CPA working on the computer at home, it's just the thing to keep my head grounded.

If Satan had a band and a mouth full of bananas 😮

Hmmm, there is something new , delay trumpet with sitar and tabla.

Real trash from AI

It's pretty cool but the first song has some rubbish AI feel that's for sure

This band sounds like deli market down town how did they get a record deal only God knows I would have thrown them out sitar and all.

Chilli out 2025!!!!! 🎼👍👍😎

I distinctly recall they were all the rage back in the day..

From the contaminated ashes of The Banana Splits rises this slippery plantain of profane pop. The acrimony surrounding the split of the Split's profits after splitting up drove Fleegle into Exile, though when they found out they threw him off the tour bus. Drooper and Snorky ended up backing up Helen Reddy during her avant-garde period, when she slowly pulled out her bloody tampon while yodeling The Mikado, in its entirety. Sadly Bingo was lost when he inexplicably blew up on stage drumming for Spinal Tap. Coaxed back together in the studio (by literally a buttload of coke snorted from some comely buttcracks), assisted by some guy on trumpet they thought was torturing a tabby in the alley, which turned out to be his attempt at "Tequila"---these guys nailed it and recorded this stull until the staff finally broke through the door. Their elaborate stage set, four huge "peels" emanating from a tall rotating mirror-balled banana, was their undoing when just "rockin' out" each slipped on their respective peel and sailed off into the crowd, the sitar itself fracturing three skulls, its sound doing irreparable damage to countless eardrums. Sued, blued (and sued again by The Blue Man Group), tattooed with failure and inked by obscurity, each died tragically from autoerotic asphyxiation while recording Gaspers for Decca.

hear something new every.... once in a while!

Great stuff! Reminds me of Hallucination Engine from the early 90s, and a Santa Cruz group with several incarnations, lastly called Eyelevel. Their stuff can be heard on the yt channel fanningbrian, highly recommended. Thanks for posting this -

Never knew they made an album.

Well, that was different! Shades of psychedelia ... good music for tripping on if you know what I mean ...

puff, puff pass

Instant classic! Nominee for the 2019 'Father of the Year' award.
