"Forgotten 1968 British Psych Masterpiece: THE FACTORY - Path Through The Forest | Rare MONO"

The Factory – ”Path Through The Forest” / ”Gone” (MGM 1444) October 1968 (bootleg from 2005) 0:00 THE FACTORY - "Path Through The Forest" 3:52 THE FACTORY - "Gone" 6:44 Outro “The handout supplied with this disc describes it as a bridge between today and tomorrow’s musical journey of vision and time with various telephonic, traumatic experiences en route. Which is perhaps a bit pretentious! This is actually what we tend to categorise as ‘underground’ music — although 18 months ago, we would have dubbed it ‘psychedelic’. Storms along with a driving drum beat, while the lead singer sounds like he’s locked in a cupboard! And it’s positively laden with strident twangs and electronic effects. But unhappily the melodic content is virtually nil. Plenty of excitement though . . . (NME, October 1968) A very strong instrumental sound, with the vocal line coming through more and more strongly. One that can come from behind and win. +++++ (Record Mirror,26/10/68) https://monocledalchemist.com/2026/06...
