Favoriting Discotech Underground with Kip Brown: Playlist from July 1, 2025 Favoriting

Discotech Underground's avatar View Discotech Underground's profile Favoriting

Discotech Underground is actually two...two...two shows in one!

The first half is a "Happy Hour" of sorts (because it's five o'clock somewhere, right?), spinning the kinds of sounds you might have heard at a real, authentic 1960's DISCOTECH as cool cats and swingin' chicks danced the night away in their mod threads and mini skirts to hard-driving sounds under the flashing lights! The only thing missing are the cage dancers...but we're working on it!

The second half is for when you head home after a wild night, and ease in with the heady, trippy, mind-expanding sounds of a groovy free-form UNDERGROUND rock radio station that digs deep into their library and blows your mind all over again!

When did this come out?

1973. It was their second album.

Their first album is the one that gets the most attention because it had a 3D cover and was pretty hard rockin'. The second one is noteworthy as well.

Jay Current:

↳ Mollywog @10:18
The band was created by the remnants of Iron Butterfly teaming up with Deep Purple MKI singer Rod Evans, and you hear hear the influence of both of those earlier groups on most of the Captain Beyond tracks I've come across.
  10:25pm
Mollywog:

↳ Jay Current @10:24
Somehow I've never heard them before, and I was a teenager then.
  10:26pm

↳ Song: "The Mirror" by "Spooky Tooth"
I've been meaning to look into Spooky Tooth for a while now. Everything I've heard from them has been at least interesting.
  10:27pm
Mollywog:

↳ Jay Current @10:26
Spooky Tooth was good. I had a friend who's big brother had very good taste in music.

Jay Current:

↳ Mollywog @10:25
I don't think they did a whole lot commercially speaking. I first heard about them in prog rock forums.

gary wright had a fairly successful solo career and judas priest had a hit covering one of their songs

their career was kinda killed because the label made them release a really avant-garde thing they did with Pierre Henry against their wishes

(they considered it Henry's album, not their own, but the label forced them to release it under their own name)

Jay Current:

↳ pot8o @10:29
Just looked up that Pierre Henry album and apparently it takes the form of a mass. Bizarrely, that's now the 2nd psychedelic band I've heard of getting their career killed because of an experimental album about a church mass that was released against the band's will.
  10:39pm
Jay Current:

↳ pot8o @10:29
My comment about not doing a lot commercially was aimed at Captain Beyond, not Spooky Tooth. I was aware that Spooky Tooth had some limited success back in the early days of progressive radio.
