James, Michael
Runaway World
This album is a legendary artifact for all '60s and '70s music collectors, original copies in good condition change hands for about 500 US$. The spirit of the music is a tasty combination between aggressive grroovy fuzz-garage-hard rock and atmospheric psych-folk with moody vocals and a poetic message, comparable to World In Sound's legendary Phantasia or D.R. Hooker. In between perfectly arranged songs like 'You Don't Walk On My Street,' 'I Remember' and the psych-trip 'Sleepers,' you'll hear weird spoken word themes as 'Guatamalan Strange,' 'Electronic Silver' and heavy-riff instrumentals. This was the debut release by Michael James, who is still active in the music business with his own label Empath Records and the groups Children Of The Risk, Michael Yonkers and Mounting Santa feat. Dr. Fink of Prince's Revolution. The album 'Runaway World' was recorded and produced extremely well. This LP reissue is produced from the original analog master tapes. So, look forward to this great album by "a unique rock artist like none you've heard."
