Acting, Thinking, Feeling

Product Description

2013 three CD collection from the underground Funk/Psych/Jazz legends. Acting, Thinking, Feeling marks the first time that psychedelic jazz ensemble The Stark Reality's Discovers Hoagy Carmichael's Music Shop album has been reissued in full. The anthology also contains the band's out-of-print Roller Coaster Ride (first issued as 1969 on Now-Again in 2003), and a series of recently discovered, previously-unreleased tracks. Besides the missing Hoagy Carmichael's Music Shop songs, the most exciting additions to The Stark Reality's oeuvre are the three songs recorded between the earliest incarnation of the band the big band that recorded "Theme to Say Brother" and "Acting, Thinking, Feeling" in 1968 - and the slimmed down combo that recorded the Roller Coaster Ride and The Stark Reality Discovers Hoagy Carmichael's Music Shop.

Review

One of the most prized funk artifacts of all time, Stark s project allies Hendrix-stoned guitars, heavily-fuzzed vibraphone and Bitches Brew rhythms... --Mojo Magazine

The music of the Stark Reality is as playful as it is wild... as fantastic as it is frazzled. --Rolling Stone
