5 weeks ago I was sat in my mate's kitchen with him just a bit merry while he was flipping through various songs on UA-cam to enhance ambiance. Tracks from The Velvet Underground + Nico, The Stones' - Sticky Fingers, Allah-Las, The Junkyard Liberty, then he picked "Yeah" by The Telescopes and WOW! I TOTALLY got the silent part, what a stunning use of silence as a sound. Well things got taken to a whole new level when he put this track on... I kid you not I was in orbit with this. I was in the cockpit of the shuttle and blasting off. I've listened to this song since then and it's just an amazing piece of work. But what make it even more amazing for me is that David Fitzgerald, who was in the band and played guitar on this, is the mate who I was sat with. Stunning piece of music, my friend. I - am - in - awe of this.
Release your sails, arise, forever Sanctify yourself once more How it seems and so much clearer Seeing you through your own eyes High on fire High on fire Higher and higher Like an ocean wave we fly Like dragonflies we loose our wings Everyday's a sea of wishes Always swimming on the shore High on fire High on fire Higher and higher
London, The Water Rats venue on Grey's Inn Road. Must have been 2010 (I think...). Supported by One Unique Signal. Telescopes played again at 100 club not so long back. Good noise.

Such a great track, I can ever hear some psychedelic Who in here. What a great band.
Release your sails, arise, forever
Sanctify yourself once more
How it seems and so much clearer
Seeing you through your own eyes
High on fire
High on fire
Higher and higher
Like an ocean wave we fly
Like dragonflies we loose our wings
Everyday's a sea of wishes
Always swimming on the shore
High on fire
High on fire
Higher and higher
it's a hit.
One of the finer moments in the Creation Records catalogue.
temazo.....gran grupo...
Dunbar, when was that and where?

Telescopes + Acid make for great companions.
