Nick – another ‘familiar’ figure on Fruits de Mer Records label – is back with a new 7-inch vinyl Single on FdM Records, another fine blend of electronically flavored Psychedelia! FdM states: “nick nicely – psych maverick/genius, Nick is back on FdM, and in epic mood with ‘Mike Hall Is Calling’, including towering choruses and surreal twists, a psychedelic ghost story from the dead, or half-dead – it seems an ‘accident’ on a cliff has led an unquiet spirit to interfere in electronic communications…now the work switchboard is buckling too”…

The first side is ‘occupied’ by “Mike Hall Is Calling”, it’s really amazing how Nick after (over) 40 years has still the ability to create Phantasmagoric Psychedelic sounds, to experiment, to push boundaries, to make our brains melt… This is an astonishing NEO-PSYCH tune destined to be a Cult 40 years from now, like “Hilly Fields” did 40 years ago… “Wonderful Day” on side ‘B’ is a glorious feast of experimental sounds, a non-digestible track acting like another dark part of the nowadays experimental Psych… Wow! Invest! TimeLord Michalis
