Cosmic Michael - After A While. CD. (Radioactive - RRCD166) ‘ I am a child of Woodstock nation, I’ve come a long way from my home....’So sings the one and only Cosmic Michael, on this the opening track of his second album released by the Blisslabel in 1970. An album now high on serious psych collector wants lists too...Cosmic Michael? Well, some regard him as a ‘Godhead’, the ultimate spiritual hippy, with songs of love, freedom& peace, all delivered with just piano, vocals and, kazoo(?)...A true guru...But, what of the music? I guess these days you’d call it loner psych, but back then the term ‘freak rock’might have been applied to such a release...After his eponymous, and equally enigmatic debut album released a year earlier, he’d witnessed the Woodstock festival, absorbed the vibe, and relocated to Los Angeles where he then recorded this.The nine tracks are stoned 70’s DIY rock ‘n’roll. You can call it lo-fi or home made, but the message remains...Cosmic Michael preaches love and freedom, and is a mean boogie-woogie player too.‘I am a child of Woodstock nation, a simple song is all I carry. . . . .’You’ve been warned.Now a sadly deleted Radioactive title.LAST TWO COPIES.
