...although One Step Beyond doesn't benefit from comparison.
The Inner Mystique is outstanding: a worthy follow-up to Choc Watch's classic first album, No Way Out. There's the same mixture of fuzzy garage psych and studio-created soundscapes. In this case the studio creations sit together in one opening triptych. If anything these tracks are even more spacious than their counterparts on No Way Out and some of the sonic techniques they develop are also present in the garage tracks. There's some first-rate song-writing and overall The Inner Mystique is a rounded, satisfying listen that has a few surprises up its sleeve, including a cool Kinks cover.
Sadly not as surprising is One Step Beyond. Don't get me wrong, the quality is high. The fidelity is better than on Choc Watch's previous albums and it contains some knock out songs. Not least of all `I Don't Need No Doctor', which - dare I say it - is as good as the much-praised `Are You Gonna be There at the Love In' (from No Way Out). There are, however, no experimental studio creations and there's been a change of singer. Due to these absences, One Step Beyond doesn't sound all that much like the Choc Watch we've come to love.
Nevertheless, this is a superb package offered at a bargain price. You'd be mad not to take advantage.

Great Amercian Acid Pop and Psychedelia

Tow great albums from the classic Bay Area 60's psychedelic garage punk band. This stuff is as good as The Jefferson Airplane, Moby Grape and The Grateful Dead.

I love the late 60s psychedelic music, puts me in my groove. Great disc and I would recommend it to anyone who loves Psych music or anyone wanting to know what late 60s music was about.

A very different listen
29 Oct 2010
By James A. Roman
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
This is a very different listen from the two separate CD's with bonus tracks usually featuring Dave Aguilar. (Of course, Dave's vocals are one of the main reasons for Watchband interest). The original LPs were short and here they fit together to make a great slice of sixties San Francisco Bay Area psychedelia. At 50 minutes 16 seconds, this CD moves fast and plays great. I can just see the smoke rising as the instrumental "Voyage of the Trieste" starts things off. And "Devil's Motorcycle" can still melt vinyl.
The three Sundazed CD releases with bonus tracks are still the best way to get your Chocolate Watchband, but this two-fer is an effective time capsule and makes for a great party record.
