Merrell Fankhauser - Maui. CD. (Subliminal Sounds - BUBXMCD-3) A very rare album from 1976 of recordings that Merrell Fankhauser made just after MU split up and whilst he was living in the beautiful jungle surroundings of the Island of Maui. The recordings are very similar in style and execution to those made by MU with wonderful hippy psych/folk stylings featuring Merrell's crystal clear voice backed by acoustic and electric instrumentation..

Merrell Fankhauser - Maui Days In Paradise. CD. (Subliminal Sounds - SUBXMCD3) The band MU was formed in 1969 when Merrell Fankhauser teamed up with Jeff Cotton of Captain Beefhearts band. When it was discovered that the Hawaiian Islands could have remnants of the sunken Mu civilization, the band decided to move to the island of Maui. But by 1974 all but Merrell Fankhauser had left for the mainland. Merrell was now staying with his girlfriend violinist Mary Lee in the two story Tarzan style jungle house which Merrell had built, complete with flowing lily ponds. They did a special Black Crow ceremony with 400 devoted hippies all meditating for peace and harmony for all beings on the earth. Merrell and Mary were the first musicians in the United States to play modern music for the Lama. They lived in the Maui rain forest in their jungle retreat for over seven years. Late in 1975 they visited L.A and recorded the Maui Album. The album recording originally started at MCA Studios in Hollywood with producer Dino Airelli who went on to head up Dark Horse Records for George Harrison. Due to Dinos busy schedule he was unable to finish the album. It was later finished in San Francisco and came out on a small independent label Maui Music. It sold a few thousand copies and disappeared. The album is released here in its entirety with 7 bonus tracks including an unreleased version of "Some Of Them Escaped". This is a true artefact from the Hippy dream of Peace, Love and Harmony for the world!
