Group 1850 - Paradise Now - 1969


This is Group 1850's second studio album,
but it was actually the first one I heard and it got me
hooked on them! Although I'll admit that 'Agemo's Trip
To Mother Earth' was their best album, this one is also
really good! It's darker then Agemo was and is
a bit heavier at times too, but that's neither
good nor bad, it's just different. This is really the kind
of album that puts you into a trance! If you like Agemo,
then you'll most likely like this one too. Also,
it has a lot of parts that'll probably stick with you
for awhile. Not as if it were a catchy pop album,
but because there's just a lot of really cool sounding
parts in it! So, check it out!

Group 1850 - Agemo's Trip to Mother Earth - 1968

Okay, to make up for using this blog
to try to enlighten people on corruption in politics,
I have finally up loaded a new album!
Sorry I don't up load more often my friends!


Group 1850 was probably one of the best bands to ever
come out of the Netherlands! Unfortunately though,
with all the other psych giants back in the sixties
coming mainly from America and London flooding the air waves
through out the majority of the decade, the world seems to have
almost completely forgotten this brilliant band.
Unlike most bands outside of the English speaking world,
they weren't held back by language barriers since
they seem to be fluently bilingual, but their sound,
although excellent in every aspect, most likely had
too strong of an underground/garage feel
for most American radio stations to play
and as amazing as they are, even I have to say
that they're no Zeppelin, so they really could have used
more commercial exposure to help them survive.
Also, I have heard that despite how amazing their
first two albums were, their third and final one,
which I still cannot find, was a major let down
and cause many fans to turn away from them...
Nonetheless, this album, as well as their album 'Paradise Now'
are both extremely excellent albums and any lover of
psych of any kind should definitely check them out!
