Louise Huebner with Bebe and Louis Barron ‎– "Louise Huebner's Seduction Through Witchcraft" (Warner Bros. - Seven Arts Records ‎– WS 1819) 1969

Louise Huebner was the 'Official' Witch of Los Angeles and the only officially appointed Witch in the entire world.This is of course 'showbiz' rather than a real office for a real witch. Witches only exist in their own minds,possibly,and in the minds of the superstitious morons who fear the 'Dark Arts',or believe in any supernatural entities such as the Easter Bunny, or Batman.
This album, primarily existing purely to exploit the age-old problem of getting laid, is the feminine version of Eric Weber's "Picking Up Girls Made Easy", this witchy one relies on manipulation whereas Eric relies on barefaced lying.
That said, the main reason for this Occult cash-in attempt being foisted on these reveered pages, is because the creepy sounds backing up Louise's very silly spoken instructions were made by husband and wife Electronic pioneers, Louis and Bebe Barron.
It's rather good stuff, and inevitably reminds one of Throbbing Gristle's finer ambient moments, and very reminiscent of Kluster's first two albums. 
For those of you sad bastards who think you're gonna prize Beyoncé from Jay Z's insideous grasp; just try developing an interesting line in conversation and washing regularly.Dump the sports clothes and improve your sartorial elegance....in fact making an effort to seem attractive and interesting rather than the obnoxious slob you really are.Then you won't need to sell your soul, or our-soul, to get a girlfriend, who, ultimately, won't like your record collection.
Yours most insincerely, 
the Real Jay Zee.

Ruth White ‎– "7 Trumps From The Tarot Cards And Pinions" (Limelight ‎– LS 86058) 1968

Don't mess around with the Occult kids, because nothing will happen. There's many a time my sister and I got the Waddington's Ouija Board out from the loft, where it was banished by my mother, to hold a seance with dead spirits trapped in limbo, doomed to walk the earth for eternity.....which would be difficult as the Earth will be consumed by the sun in a few billion years time. So what happens to the ghosts when the sun becomes a red giant, then it goes super nova!? More to the point, I'm terribly worried about Satan!? Whats he gonna do when hell is destroyed by a Super Nova!? 
Who will be left to ask what the winning numbers will be in the National Lottery? Who can I sell my soul to to achieve fame ,fortune and be as sucessful with women as Eric Weber?
If you've ever thought about commiting suicide while listening to an Ozzy Osbourne record, then you're simple enough to believe in this Occult nonsense; because during our seance's they never answered the time honoured question, "Is There Anybody there?"....ever! Once we asked , after asking what will be the winning lottery numbers of course, "Is there nobody there?";to which we got the same answer.....silence. Someone was moving the plastic cursor thing anyway when we asked if it was going to rain tomorrow.....to which the answer, "No" was obviously incorrect.
This album by Ladylectronic pioneer Ruth White,alludes to the blacker side of the dark arts, and it, in itself is far scarier and real than any Black magic voodoo. 
The most frightening part is the title....can anyone imagine the chaos and bowel cleansing terror of a world with Seven Donald Trumps spreading stupidity and ignorance across the planet like an apocalyptic wiping of undiluted bleach on a kitchen work surface?Extinguishing all intelligent life except the common lesser spotted Redneck to start civilisation anew?
Grits anyone? Southern styyyyyyllle.
(Shudder)!

Quick change the subject!!!

The inside cover states Ruth White uses several multi-channel tape recorders (including 2 new Ampex AG 440 machines), a Moog synthesizer, oscillators, modulators, electronic organ and electronic clavichord, two pianos, a harpsichord, and variable speed and reverberation devices as only part of the full lineup of machines used.

Ruth White ‎– "Flowers Of Evil" (Limelight ‎– LS 86066) 1969

Unlike the tired world of Rock music, early Electronic music had a high percentage of Ladies fully involved in the innovations that have come to rule our lives. They have all now been replaced with machines,but are making a comeback,along with proper synthesizers with twisty knobs and patching leads.
There must be something about twiddling little knobs and pressing buttons that women are attracted to...Fnarr Fnarr!
This is one of the absolute classics of the genre....the made-up genre being "Early Female Electronica"....took me an new age to think that one up.
After a sucessful career making educational recordings through the fifties and sixties, she got her hands on a modular moog and went experimental, banging out three uber-weird albums between 1968 and 1971.Her electrifiying version of  Baudelaire's "Flowers Of Evil" being the creepiest of the trilogy.The version of "The Litanies Of satan" making Diamanda Galas's version sound like a Bjork dance remix.
Apparently she never set out to frighten the shit out of anybody,she was just demonstrating what her new equipment could do.
But, the finished item is one of the darkest electronic poetry records of the 20th century.This could easily be mistaken for a late era Coil album,but creepier.
Oh those lovely ladies and their electronic hobbies.....Nyak! Nyak!

Alex Sanders ‎– "A Witch Is Born" (A&M Records ‎– AMLS 984) 1970

"Alex Sanders is the most powerful witch in Britain. Here, for the first time, he presents a full recording of the solemn initiation of a new member into the ancient Craft."...it says here.

He's the bloke on the cover who looks like a former homeless alcoholic who's moved on from begging for small change outside Sainsburys to taking his clothes off to initiate attractive young women."

Luckily, we don't get to see Alex full frontal, as he conducts the ceremony in sound only, with totally inappropriate lush string sections singing merrily in the background, chugging out Wagners 'Ride  Of the Valkyries', like a binned episode of 'The Onedin Line'.Up front is the hilarious whispering commentary by Stewart Farrar as if he was describing a Royal wedding, or a Snooker match.

Sanders: "Blessed be thy Breasts formed in Beauty"

Farrar: "He kisses the left Breast and the Right Breast"!?

Yep, religions are all invented by dirty old men alright.

The naked young woman called Janet(? the witch?) then gets tied up and lashed by the the nude former-pisshead. I think i'm going to be sick....just check out those pictures on the cover,like a Wiccan copy of Health and Efficiency magazine.

This ceremony is soooooo old and ancient that,like the Bible and God, the Wiccan tribes spoke in 16th century Shakespearian English.

God and his counterparts was seemingly very English.

Barbara, The Gray Witch ‎– "Barbara, The Gray Witch". (DEA Records ‎– 1D-1001) 1970

I could have sworn that was Mick Ronson on the cover, but no,I was very much mistaken, its a Gray Witch called Barbara, or is it pronounced Brabrah? The Gay Witch???
Phwoooarrrrr....'Witchcraft has never looked better' it says, maybe Brabra should change her name to The Bottle Blonde Witch, to suit her Prostitute Chic image....very saucy.....or should I say, sorcery?
Brabrah is exploting her cheap sexuality to lure dunbass men, like a Sex Worker Pied Piper, to the black arts, or in this case, the Gray Arts, and I don't mean to take part in a pensioners painting class.
Of course, Gray witches are a balance between White Witches,or 'Good'Witches, and Black Witches,which are, predictably,'Evil' Witches.
Anyway,these very very ordinary people aren't really Witches, they just say they are to make them feel 'special', to enhance their low self-esteems.Its all rather silly in fact. Especially 'Cool' witches like the lovely Brabrah.
Music-wise, there are a few strange songs scattered between Brabrah's hip-witch talk that seem to have an early electronic score by Stockhausen as a backing track.Rather good I have to say.....or have I been bewitched by Brabrah's dulcet tones,or wicked spells?
Yes mistress,I'll give it Four pentagrams out of Five for effort.Now... GET OUT OF MY MIIIIIIINNNNNDDDDDDD!!!!!!

Gundella ‎– "The Hour Of The Witch" (Top Of The Needle Records ‎– AR 1877) 1971

If you're chubby,with a face like a back end of a bus,and have low self-esteem,the fast bus lane to some kind of dilussional cure is to make yourself feel special by pretending you've been abducted by aliens or you have access to special information that no-one else has,like talking with God, or, you can say that you're a Witch.
To listen to this record all the way through is akin to a witch trial.If you die while you listen you're obviously NOT a witch, but if you survive, you almost certainly are, and should be burned alive.
Yes, Grundella is,apparently, 'a Witch'. Decended from the Green Witches of Scotland,but now (as in 1971) resides in Scotlands twin city of Detroit.
The lack of job prospects,and an over consumption of Alcohol and Drugs in both places led to a plethora of unemployed shitkickers to claim they are Witches, or Wizards, or,more dangerously, Singers.
The spells on this album seem to echo Gundella's main problem in life,which is how to snare a Man,and/or Love.
I must add a word of caution if you are tempted to conjure up a new Boyfriend or Girlfriend; be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it!

A1 Gundella Tells You How To Cast A Spell 21:35

Rev. Patrick J. Berkery, Ph.D. ‎– "The Rite Of Exorcism" (Crunch Records ‎– CRS-045000) 1974

Ever been to a Funky Exorcism brother?
NO?????
Well,track one is like the theme music for a Cool Exorcist TV Series,the star of which,someone like Huggy Bear, is filmed, hip-walking down the street like a jive assed John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever mother fucker, for the next smokin' Hot case of demonic possession. Did this exist, or am I possessed by a funky demon?
If it didn't, it should have.
"Leave this body you funky demon motherfucker.....Get OUT...Get OUT...and get Doooooowwwwwwwwnnnnnnn...back to Hell...Praise the Lord!"
The rest of the album of this DIY guide to self Exorcism isn't so dope however.Lots of mumbo jumbo about the Lord JC and shit.But if you've got a demon that needs to be removed(haven't we all?),and you're not a christian,or can't afford a professional, or even just mentally Ill? This is the record for you.

Graham Bond ‎– "Love Is The Law" (Pulsar Records ‎– AR 10604) 1968

Following the dissolution of The Graham Bond Organisation, our Graham went to the USA to try and 'make it.'
After a struggle,and few gigs, Pulsar records offered to release an album.The result of which was this Crowley-esqely titled record, "Love is the Law",on which they somehow managed to spell his name wrong!?
Crowley also said, "Every man every woman is a star", except Graham, it seems, as the record bombed. There was not much call for chubby pop stars in the valleys of LA, which would explain why he became a permanent fixture at Mama Cass's house.
"Where's my Graham!", she could be heard screaming when he wasn't there to suck up to her.
Bizarrely they both met an early death in London within a couple of weeks of each other in 1974!In her case, no, she didn't choke on a ham sandwich as pub legend prescribes;but, strangely, she did die in the same room that Keith moon also expired in a few years later.
Had they been dabbling with the Dark Arts? ...we'll never know. I'll dig out my Waddingtons Ouija Board to ask Graham directly.......He said "Not the dark arts, it was the dark arse"......sense of humour intact then Mr Bond? Even in the after-life,hell or whatever?
This album is his most commercial attempt at extoling the virtues of Magick,backed up with the finest Californian session musicians.
A very soulful psychedelic blues outing that, if made by someone more photogenic would have hit the billboard chart at a healthy  number 666.
After one more ,Magick-less album,his visa expired and was required to return to the UK (i.e. Kicked out), where he went onto much stranger and darker things.Eventually ending up as Ginger Bakers's side-kick in Ginger Bakers Airforce.The ultimate humiliation.

Graham Bond ‎– "We Put Our Magick On You" (Vertigo ‎– 6360 042) 1971

As appaling Paul Daniels used to say....."Now, That's Magic", noticably without the 'K', and this album certainly is Magical.
The Mighty Shadow himself, Graham Bond, wants to put his Magick, with a 'K', on us. Very nice of him, but he could have tried putting his magick on himself, then he would have been the pop star he so openly craved to be,and not the roadkill he became under the wheels of a subway train three years later!
The cover shows us that his wife(Diane) was determined for a second time to place the various musicians around the studion in accordance with their astrological positions in relation to the pentagram, or, he-he clever this.....Penta-graham. 
Again the rhythm section of Pugwash(?) and Terry were on opposite sides of the room,but this time they seem to be tight and funky.On the previous "Holy Magick" album Rick Grech was most likely off his tits on copious amounts of Vertigo supplied drugs, or pissed.
I had a friend called Pugwash at primary school,just around the corner from where Rick Grech lived his last days.He was so-called because he had a constant crust of dried snot around his nostrils,'Pug' being the local word for said nasel bi-product. My now self-murdered 'friend', an 'orrible little oik called 'Tomo', who forced me to be his friend or face pugilistic retribution.Did a shit in his trousers one afternoon in art class,and eased the fresh turd down his trouser leg by waggling the appropriate limb until the offending stool dropped onto the floor next to Pugwash's desk. Like  the shitkicker he was, Tomo kicked the odourous item under Pugwash's chair.
His hand shot up in the air consumed with delight as he gained the attention of the pedagogue in charge and steered her attention to an obviously oblivious 'Pugwash'.
"Please Miss, Pugwash has done a shit in class", he informed with barely concealed glee.
Pugwash was forcefully removed and sent to the principles office after the obligatory visit to the bogs to wipe his innocent,and presumably 'shitless' arse.
Oh how we laughed for weeks on that one.
I next met Pugwash some twenty years later, when I produced my driving Licence at the local Police station after a speeding offence.The officer handling my case was none other than PC Pugwash himself,and I noticed he had a large tattoo on his forearm,with the word 'Tracey' proudly displayed in the centre of the swirling doodle of an art nouveau heart shape.He pretended not to recognise me, but I did take note that there were no longer any 'pugs' caked around his nose holes,and took care not to mention the 'Turd' incident.
This, kids, is how to handle yourself when in a Cop-Shop.
Ironically 'Tomo' chose to end his life in the very same manner as Graham Bond did,by throwing himself at the mercy of an approaching train.It was just that Tomo did it at Leicester railway station,and Bond ,Graham Bond, did it at Finsbury Park Tube station.
It could have all been so very different couldn't it? But then again there wouldn't be anything to write about if it all ended in roses like some crappy Hollywood movie, would there?

Graham Bond ‎– "Holy Magick" (Vertigo ‎– 6360 021) 1970

Graham Bond, rivaled the Yardbirds for producing musicians that would go on to greater and grater(sic)things, while he languished in poverty and had an unerring talent for failure. Ginger Baker, Dick Heckstall Smith, John McLaughlin,Jack Bruce,John Hiseman,all went on to have sucessful careers, while our Graham struggled with his weight, and became obsessed with Aleister Crowley (he believed he was Crowley's son!?).
Whereas fellow Crowley obsessive and,as yet,unarrested satutory rapist, Jimmy Page, made that dull over saturated hard rock crap with Led Zepplin, Bond was truly inspired to make a couple of albums of pure madness on prog label Vertigo.Incredibly,the money was there to indulge Grahams fantasies,and included a lavishly packaged gatefold sleeve.....mmmm nice!
Like a Spinal Tap sequence,during the recording, all the musicians had to stand in certain postions in a pentagram shape, that Bonds wife (Diane Stewart) had worked out based on their horoscopes. This led to the rhythm section standing in opposite ends of the room.(the bassist of which was Rick Grech,who lived his last years of his life in a wheel chair a few doors down from me on the council Estate in Leicester where i spent my formative years)
This inevitably caused a slight wandering in syncopation that some would find amateurish,but not your faithful scribe;it makes this album as great as much as it was a massive failure commercially.
Graham treats us to a bit of 'Atlantean' as his husky growl squeezes out the lyrics, "Lashtal.......Attah, Malkuth, Vega-Burah, Vega Dulah, Leolame, Amen."
Messing about with the Occult in the medium of Progressive Jazz Rock is not recommended.Especially as our hero was mysteriously hurled in front of an approaching train in the london Underground at Finsbury Park Station........it could have been Suicide I suppose? In fact, yes it was Suicide.Mess about with the Occult if you want, nothings gonna happen either way.

Aleister Crowley ‎– "Aleister Crowley" (Not On Label ‎– OZ 77) 1986

Leamington Spa produced some recording greats, like Swell Maps,The Shapes, and....erm Aleister Crowley, aka The Great Beast.
Yes, Satan came from an upper middle class town in Warwickshire,and if you've ever visted there,you'll see why.
So this slightly posh bloke spent most of his free time,of which there seemed to be a lot, mucking about with the Occult,flirting with Nazism,mountaineering,and shagging.......lots of shagging.....of all gender types.
Basically a decadent Occultist, he became the object of fascination for many an impressionable musician in the 70's and 80's. But he seemed to be a bit of a Twat as far as I can see. Narcissistic and self-indulgent,Crowley considered himself to be one of the outstanding figures of his time.....don't we all?
Here we have the complete recorded works of Crowley's poems and innvocations from about 1914 to 1920 ,plus a rousing operatic version of 'vive La France', for some strange reason.

Anton LaVey ‎– "The Satanic Mass" (Murgenstrumm ‎– MM6660) 1968

Anton LaVey was the founder and first High Priest of the Church of Satan until his death,just missing Halloween (what a shame?) on October 29, 1997.
Recorded Live,which is an anagram of Evil is it not(?),at the Church Of Satan in San Francisco on Friday the 13th of september, probably on Hate Street.
Anton treats us to more droning, seemingly deadly serious, monologues from his Satanic Bible, backed up with Howard's(Anton's) funeral parlor organ work.
Rather disconcertingly, Mr LaVey bore more than a passing resemblence to your humble Blog author.But I can assure you I have nothing at all to do with this bullshit nonsense....ask my friend B.L.Zebub.
One suspects that this has more to do with showmanship rather than,an actual religion;but unavoidably, some people take it far too seriously.Something I suggest didn't apply to Anton LaVey himself.
He did,however, manage to 'get off' with Jayne Mansfield before she was decapitated in a car smash.So it was to his advantage to nuture his minor celebrity status.
Of course, the membership of The Church Of Satan is booming(Yawn!).You can join online for a few hundred Dollars, and shock your mum and dad and your straighter friends.(Giggle Giggle Titter)...oh what jolly japes?
As laughable as Satanism is, it has just as much basis in fact as other major religions......i.e. None.

Jamra ‎– "The Second Coming" (Stygian Records ‎– SRM-1972) 1972

Satanism has to be the stupidest Religion among an ever expanding  plethora of Stupid Religions or what?
Assuming that Satan exists (He doesn't by the way), worshipping this entity, automatically assumes that God exists also. Therefore condeming yourself to an eternity of torture,when you could have easily groveled to that other entity who promises you a cushy after-life in Paradise!?..what kind of stoopid fuck chooses to be a slave to something who repays you with eternal punishment?.....answer:.. at least one extremely dull idiot called Robert Jamra (not his real name I suggest?).
It is also the most boring, over serious bunch of crap that could ever turn you towards doing something genuinely evil, like joining the Republican Party, or investing in Coca-Cola.
Satanists appear to have no, zero, sense of humour at all; and listening to Jamra droning on about this shite for forty minutes makes you wanna slash ones wrists in the certainty that you ain't gonna meet up with either rival entity to be judged,let alone punished, just eternal silence in oblivion.
There's also something irritatingly adolescent about Satanism too.One knows they're only doing it to rebel against societal norms,like Heavy Metal fans,but without those lovely riffs.
Well, here's an adequate, and equally adolescent summing up of all this silliness.....Why don't You silly Satanic Twats just grow up or, preferably, Fuck Off please?
