GET ME TO THE WORLD ON TIME: How The Sound Of Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era, 1965-1968 Engulfed The Globe (Part 1) by Alec Palao Force-fed American culture for close to a century, the rest of the world nevertheless remains obsessed with what it recognizes as the countrys indigenous art forms: movies, television, comic books, and, most significantly, popular music. It has been the passionate undertaking of scores of pop culture aficionados outside the United States to preserve this heritage - which many U.S. citizens have disregarded - the way French cinephiles did with early American cinema or the Japanese still do with jazz. For the past three decades American rock may have, by and large, remained a pasteurized, processed product, but among its various earlier tributaries are forms of music that communicate a basic, raw emotion - at a distance from the mainstream. And these are what rivet the foreign audiences imagination so strongly. For some its the perennial protest of the black man, as expressed in blues and soul, that holds sway. For others, its the rebel yell of the original rockabilly outcasts. And for a smaller yet no less partisan group, its the untutored din of quintessential 60s grassroots rocknroll - the sound of the garage band. Captain Beefheart strongly mixed up all those Electricity together!
