Tickets For Doomsday / Various - Tickets For Doomsday / Various - Music CD

Now-Again Records' follow up to one of it's most well-loved compilations, Forge Your Own Chains, with another batch of rare, largely uncompiled - and sometimes barely heard - heavy psych-rock and funk. Pounding drums, scathing fuzz guitar and morose, contemplative lyrics will bring you up on a downer. Tickets For Doomsday, as the title hints, is and rumination on what might befall the human race - made especially salient by the past year's trials and tribulations - as performed by prison funk ensembles, Indonesian hippies, Krautrock legends, Icelandic prog-rock bands and even Bay Area rap catalyst E-40's uncle, the man to rst distribute Master P's No Limit Records, and the creator of this album's title track, St. Charles "Chucky" Thurman. A unique and compelling listen, and surely a worthy companion for these times.
