moeder aarde
Expanding on Snaporaz‘ Mother Earth post here’s another far out & phased psychedelic trip featuring Hans Wesseling’s poem “Moeder aarde” … Groep / Group 1850 was essentially the band of Peter Sjardin and Daniel van Bergen; on Group 1850‘s debut album “Agemo’s TripTo Mother Earth” (1968) Hans van Hemert and poet Hans Wesseling (in ‘action’ on this track between 5’20” and 10’44”) play an important part too. More on the latter in a future post!
& don’t you just love all those awfully designed sites about psychedelic music ;-/
