Cromagnon - Orgasm

Orgasm is one of the most startlingly original and ahead of its time (1968) albums I've ever had the fortune to come across. The only album by mysterious group Cromagnon (apparently comprised of bubblegum pop producing duo Brian Elliot and Austin Grasmere and the assistance of their "Connecticut tribe"), it combines prototypical elements of genres as diverse as black metal, no wave and freak folk to create a truly fresh recording, a magical slice of insane innovation that rewards repeated listenings and that you'll find yourself proudly recommending to fellow music buffs for years to come. It's a diverse platter, but a remarkably consistent one. An absolute treasure I can't recommend enough to anyone with a love for triumphant experimental music.

Download it, love it, then buy it here.
