The Animated Egg • Guitar Freakout



Review by Richie Unterberger
In the late 1960s, a mysterious self-titled LP credited to the Animated Egg presented a set of guitar-dominated instrumental psychedelic rock. Eventually it was learned that the principal instrumentalist behind The Animated Egg was renowned Los Angeles session guitarist Jerry Cole; the record was cut, according to his recollection, in one session with no overdubs. Cole is an excellent guitarist, and gets appropriately smoking fuzz out of his axe on The Animated Egg playing a Les Paul guitar through a Fuzz Face. But you need more than virtuosity to make a good record. You also need good material, and these songs, if not made up on the spot, certainly seem like hastily conceived generic or incidental psychedelic background music (liberally copping from the Spencer Davis Group's "Gimme Some Lovin'" in the case of "'T'Omorrow"). Cole's backed by adequate psychedelic a-go-go arrangements (including organ that, according to Cole, was probably played by a young Billy Preston), also moving into raga rock ("Sure Listic") and a credible simulation of Roger McGuinn's 12-string folk-rock/psychedelic work ("Sippin' and Trippin'"). Echoes of Cole's rock & roll and surf past surface on "Dark," and "That's How It Is" gets into a Latin jazz-soul-boogaloo groove, though psychedelic fans will probably be most impressed by the devastating shimmering fuzz of "Sock It My Way," the cut on which Cole really lets it hang out. [Some editions of the album added 11 bonus tracks. These were taken from Cole-speared performances featured on other studio-only outfits of the time, such as the Generation Gap, T. Swift & the Electric Bag, and the Projection Company. While these generally milk the same instrumental psychsploitation bag, they actually contain some better items: Cole unleashes some searing fuzz on "Fool's Luck"; offers more convincing McGuinn-isms on "What's Your Bag?"; sounds like a cheesy early Pink Floyd on "Expo in Sound" and "Free Form in 6"; and comes up with some anomalous decent boogaloo on "Tune Out of Place."]

A finales de la década de 1960, un misterioso LP homónimo acreditado a Animated Egg presentó un conjunto de rock psicodélico instrumental dominado por la guitarra. Finalmente, se supo que el principal instrumentista detrás de The Animated Egg era el famoso guitarrista de la sesión de Los Ángeles, Jerry Cole; El registro se cortó, según su recuerdo, en una sesión sin sobregrabaciones. Cole es un excelente guitarrista, y se queda fumando la pelusa en The Animated Egg tocando una guitarra Les Paul a través de un Fuzz Face. Pero necesitas más que virtuosismo para hacer un buen registro. También se necesita buen material, y estas canciones, si no se confeccionan en el lugar, parecen ciertamente música de fondo psicodélica genérica o incidental concebida apresuradamente (en forma de copos de "Gimme Some Lovin '" del Grupo Spencer Davis en el caso de "' T "Mañana"). Cole está respaldado por arreglos psicodélicos adecuados (incluyendo el órgano que, según Cole, probablemente fue tocado por un joven Billy Preston), también se está moviendo hacia el rock raga ("Sure Listic") y una simulación creíble de las 12 trabajo folk-rock / psicodélico ("Sippin 'and Trippin'"). Echoes of Cole rock & roll y surfea por la superficie en "Dark", y "That's How It Is" se adentra en el ritmo del jazz-soul-boogaloo latino, aunque los fanáticos psicodélicos probablemente quedarán más impresionados por la devastadora pelusa reluciente de "Sock It My Way, "el corte en el que Cole realmente lo deja pasar el rato. [Algunas ediciones del álbum añadieron 11 canciones extra. Estos fueron tomados de las presentaciones de Cole Speared que se presentaron en otros atuendos de estudio de la época, como Generation Gap, T. Swift & the Electric Bag y Projection Company. Si bien estos generalmente ordeñan la misma bolsa de psicoterapia instrumental, en realidad contienen algunos elementos mejores: Cole desata un poco de pelusa abrasadora en "Fool's Luck"; ofrece McGuinn-isms más convincentes en "¿Cuál es tu bolsa?"; Suena como un Pink Floyd cursi en "Expo in Sound" y "Free Form in 6"; y viene con un boogaloo decente anómalo en "Tune Out of Place".
