Our Take

There are few musicians as delightfully eccentric as Daevid Allen, and his 1971 album "Banana Moon" is a true testament to his otherworldly creativity. From the moment the record kicks off with the cosmic synths and wailing guitars of "Memories," you know you're in for a wild ride.

Allen's unique blend of psychedelic rock, jazz, and experimental sounds creates an atmosphere that is both trippy and strangely calming. Tracks like "Mystico Fanatico" and "Wise Man in Your Heart" transport you to a universe where anything is possible, while the dreamy vocals in "Have You Seen My Friend?" feel like a warm hug from a distant galaxy.

The album's standout moment is undoubtedly the epic 10-minute journey that is "Time of Your Life," which sees Allen and his bandmates weaving together intricate melodies and mind-bending rhythms with ease. It's a sonic adventure that will leave you breathless and wanting more.

Overall, "Banana Moon" is a true gem in Daevid Allen's illustrious career, showcasing his boundless imagination and boundless talent. If you're a fan of music that pushes the boundaries and challenges your preconceived notions, this album is an absolute must-listen. So sit back, relax, and let Daevid Allen take you on a journey through the cosmos with "Banana Moon." Trust us, you won't regret it.

About the artist

Daevid Allen

Cosmic jester, psychedelic pioneer, and all-around musical maestro, Daevid Allen is a name that evokes a sense of wonder and whimsy in the world of music. With his distinctive falsetto vocals, spacey guitar riffs, and mind-bending lyrics, Allen has been pushing the boundaries of experimental rock for over five decades. Born in Australia in 1938, Allen first made a name for himself as a founding member of the influential psychedelic rock band Soft Machine in the mid-1960s. Known for their intricate jazz-infused compositions and freewheeling improvisational style, Soft Machine quickly gained a cult following and paved the way for the progressive rock movement that would follow. After leaving Soft Machine in the late 1960s, Allen embarked on a solo career that would see him collaborate with a diverse range of artists, from Gong and Hawkwind to David Gilmour and Robert Wyatt. His solo work, characterized by its eccentric blend of space rock, jazz, and spoken word poetry, has earned him a reputation as one of the most innovative and otherworldly musicians of his generation. Despite his passing in 2015, Daevid Allen's musical legacy continues to inspire and intrigue fans around the globe. With his boundless creativity, irreverent sense of humour, and infectious joy for life, Allen remains a true original in the world of music. Raise a glass of cosmic brew to this cosmic troubadour, and let his music take you on a journey to the outer reaches of the sonic universe.
