LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

Led by composer Merrell Fankhauser and featuring the cosmic, rattlesnake-slide of guitarist Jeff Cotton (Capt. Beefheart), MU was lush, bluesy, and psychedelic - a nearly undescribable sound Recorded in LA (in 1971) and the bands' own jungle studio (on the island of Maui) in 1974, the group hit creative peak with uniquely original songs and astounding arrangements, far ahead of their time. This double-disc set contains both lengthy studio sessions, plus rare singles, radio spot, and notes/photos direct from leader Merrell Fankhauser. 32 cuts on a 2-CD set
