A Merrel Fankhauser band that I prefer to love due to the Jeff Cotton days (aka Jeff Cotton of Captain Beefheart's Magic Band).Disk 1 is great (lots of Jeff Cotton influences) 12 tracks of brilliance that hold beats similar to the Beef himself (imho Cpt Beefheart is the most inventive musician ever). I would say that Disk 1 of this is an Essential for anyone interested in Psych music.
Disk 2 however loses Cotton and (although ok) is not what I would call essential. By this time Mu had become more of a Merrel Fankhauser project and I am not truly a fan of his (although I have all the recorded works of his that I know of).
I remember my friend at school having an album Lemurian Legends and cannot find any references to this at all on the www so if anyone knows anything about the Lemurian Legends album I will be grateful. Hi "Tab" if you are out there and looking here - Thanks for all the sounds back then when we were 17 or 18.
We were at the Brinkburn Grammar School in England (oops - I forgot - This is about Mu - Not my checkered past).

Great album. I have it. Your blog continues Brilliant......
Do you have Colin Bass??????
Tnx
Sorry I dont have Colin Bass...
Thank you very much Steve. I love your pages and am also a fan of both Beefheart and Cotton. I may well be confusing the Lemurian Music with Lemurian Legends - But I do remember my mate doing me a tape (reel to reel) copy and I just remembered it as that name - We are talking 34 years ago and a lot of water has passed under the bridge since then so who knows?
Perhaps just a small glitch in the memory banks :o)
Really great blog, i now it since a few months.
You, who are very rich in rare albums, have you got Shylock's "Ile De Fièvre" ?
I wish i had beefhart and his magic album :(
Too strange.. in my opinion is the contrary: disc 1 is too commom, almost pop music ( forgive me to write this!) and disc 2 is much more psych rock. But, the all disc is just a good pysch band, nothing special.
Please Could you reupload this album? Thank you very much!
