Blue Phantom - Distortions(1971)


a badass project by a bunch of session musicians(who for the majority are still unknown) experimenting with the psychedelic genre of the time. it is one of the best instrumentals albums of that genre, and one of the best of that decade, even that early on. give it a listen.

Really trippy stuff, and really great music. Thanks for the post, I know I would have never heard of this album were it not for you.

Amazing. Been watching a lot of experimental 70s films lately. This is just what my ears need.

Many of the tracks from this album are used in the movie "Sinner: Diary of a Nymphomaniac", directed by Jess Franco and released in 1972. That's where I first heard Blue Phantom.

Thanks a lot for sharing this gem! Can you establish the connection between this and Jean Michel Lorgère's "Distortion Pop" (on Sonimage records)? Because we can find the track "Diodo" on boths albums and a few tracks are used in various Jess Franco's movies... If you can give me any details about this, I'll be extremly greatfull!
