what the world was waiting for, 6 July 2007
This review is from: Hash - Untitled Second - The Lost Album (Audio CD)
This album is amazing, I wish I'd had it in 1992 when I used to play music much louder. I loved Taste when it came out, I once crashed a car because I was playing that album at a 100 decibels at 4 in the morning in the mist on a windy coastal road, I bought #untitled second after hearing two tracks from it on Altered Perception (a best of) and was amazed. Taste was incredible because it brought harmony from extreme discord. Untitled second is a different thing altoghether I think it is one of the best psychedelic records ever made, it contains a series of incredible rocking brilliantly crafted tunes, It is way better than anything anyone else was doing at the time (in my opinion), admitedly a couple of tracks sound similar but I think thats because it never made it to a finished tracklisting (I'm guessing) but I can't critisise anything on it, i never get tired of it, I have been playing this album continuously since I bought it, making up for missing the oppourtunity whenever it was that it was initialy released or not. I'm so glad I found this album

What a terrific record, an absolute classic. Like the officers watching silently as Nelson put the telescope to his blind eye, you know you are in the presence of greatness.

The Finest Hour of The Telescopes, 4 Dec 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Hash - Untitled Second - The Lost Album (Audio CD)
I'm happy to see that The Telescopes'only album for Creation is released again. I bought this back in 1994 when it first came out, and it has been an album I always have returned to.
The feeling of the album is hazy and psychedelic and the sound has a warmth to it, that isn't their on other recordings by this band. Favourites include the smattering psychedelic tremelofest of Flying, the sitar-pop of High on Fire, the claustrophobic And, plus the jazzy You Set My Soul.
Pure excellence!
The bonus tracks (alternate versions of Flying and And) doesn't add much to the album, so perhaps it would have been nicer to include the singles that they recorded for Creation, but this is only minor criticism.
This is their finest hour to date, and I hope that the recent interest for The Telescopes have inspired them to make an excellent new album as well.
