Tom MacDonald Exposed - Music to Activate, 1981 Calif.

 




An insane cover, but totally a sign of those naive times, when nudists expected their nutty trend would one day take over the world...  Why wouldn't it, being 'more natural'?  then again, why would it? 99 percent of humans as I see it would prefer to cover up their imperfections, and leave everything to imagination which is always more beautiful than the real thing, surely.  And in an era where sexual harassment is such a primal issue, why would women want to walk around naked in public and aggravate the problem?  Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't it be hard to work at a bank, or go there, if all the tellers were naked?  Insane times those were back then.  And the fact that they named this LP after the same exhibitionistic image / concept! As if the founder was a true believer!

Note the discogged information here:

1980s folk rock/soft rock group from Nevada City, California who released their sole album in December 1981 on the small local label Bennett House Records to little fanfare or success however new interest for the group would emerge when it was revealed that DJ Shadow had sampled their work for the song Bloodstain on 1998's UNKLE - Psyence Fiction.

It's basically soft rock, ssw, entirely.  There is little hint of the fact we entered into the dreaded 80s decade.  Movement featuring a solo piano composition is nice to listen to, but not representative:



The final track called So What reminds me so eerily of my old folk acoustic favourite Gene Hood, the one album in that dept that I adore so profoundly and feel so sad it didn't become better known:
