The Deep's one and only album, originally released in 1966 and now well-established as a psychedelic classic. One night in a darkened Philadelphia studio, the Deep (Rusty Evans, songwriting partner and producer Mark Barkan, the legendary David Bromberg, whose credits include playing with Bob Dylan and many others, plus a bevy of talented musicians) laid down tempestuous garage punkers, sweetly-twisted ballads and ambiguous weirdness, all rife with hyper-psychedelic lyrical flashes of a rolling midnight expressway through the subconscious mind. A perfect representation of the psychedelic sound: free-form poetry, infectious drum beats, fuzzed out guitar, and playfully plucked bass (and vibes and tympani and so on), swirl together, coalescing into some of the most impressive psychedelic rock you'll hear. Cuts like 'Your Choice To Choose,' sound very Seeds-like or proto-Velvet Underground, Lou Reed snarl and all; others like 'Shadows On The Wall' and 'Wake Up and Find Me' are haunting acid ballads: the whole point of the album was to thoroughly explore the hallucinatory agony and ecstasy of a 12-hour Technicolor dream... although the end result is more amphetamine edgy than acid-soaked trippy. The Deep Psychedelic Moods pre-dates its closest kindred sprit in sound and energy (albeit not subject matter): The Velvet Underground and Nico came along five months later, and the world of music shifted on its axis -- but too late for the Deep.
"Something
of a psych fan's dream, this LP was recorded in August 1966, when the
idea of a conceptual acid album was completely uncharted territory.
Consequently, Rusty Evans and his NYC ex-folkie pals managed to create
an LP that sounds fresh many decades later. The twelve tracks are
essentially a series of musical trip reports covering the whole
emotional spectrum, from chaos and euphoria to introspection and
melancholy, with an intense, challenging atmosphere." — Patrick
