Review by Mark Deming
"A quick look at Robert Pollard's post-Guided by Voices body of work makes two things clear - left to his own devices, his solo albums tend to be uneven and often indifferent, while when he teams up with worthy collaborators (such as John Moen and Chris Slusarenko in Boston Spaceships or Tommy Keene in the Keene Brothers), he's still capable of making smart, vital rock & roll with a hard edge despite their pop inclinations. If anyone needs an example of this principle in action, they need look no further than Waving at the Astronauts, the second album from Lifeguards, in which Pollard teams up with his former Guided by Voices bandmate Doug Gillard. Gillard is a fine songwriter as well as a powerful guitarist (he penned "I Am a Tree," one of the finest GBV tracks written by someone other than Pollard), and with a similarly talented colleague on board, Pollard has made the strongest album he's released since he retired GBV in 2004. Gillard and Pollard both contributed to the songwriting on Waving at the Astronauts, and while there are plenty of Pollard's usual melodic tricks here and his lyrics are clever but oblique in his usual manner, the tunes are also shot through with a wiry energy and an adventurous but hard-rocking attack that make the most of their shared obsession with 1970s rock. And with Gillard's guitar work giving this music a firm backbone and a bold sense of drama, Pollard steps up his game as a singer - he's sometimes sounded more precise than he does here, but it's been quite some time since he's felt like a for-real rock & roll singer, as he clearly does on this material. There are moments when Pollard and Gillard's fascination with the textures of prog rock allows these songs to meander more than they should, but far more often this music sounds intelligent but passionate and muscular, and Waving at the Astronauts is that rarity, a rock & roll album that's mature, adventurous, and exciting at the same time. It's clear Pollard and Gillard bring out the best in one another, and if they have any sense at all, they won't wait another eight years before starting work on Lifeguards album number three."

Violet Sedan Chair

Violet Sedan Chair - Seven Suns (1971? / 2009?)

USA
Psychedelic Rock
Rock + 60's Psychedelia + early Pink Floyd + Pop
Richard Lather (vocals, tambourine, crotales), Roscoe Joyce (percussion, harp, saxophone, vocals on "Seven Suns (Setting)"), Davey Plunkett (organ, electric piano, mellotron), Joe Priest (bass, hammer dulcimer) & Mick Michaels (drums, prepared piano) + ?!?!? (guitar)

This album was recorded by a fictional band created by TV serie Fringe producer JJ Abrams.

Gently "soundforged" by Edson D'Aquino (Gravetos & Berlotas) - thank you, dude!!

Essa postagem vale umas palavrinhas...
Achei esse disco em um algum blog que não lembro qual foi.
Tudo indicava que fosse um álbum de uma das várias bandas obscuras de rock psicodélico (e/ou de garagem) da virada dos anos 60 para os 70.
Baixei meio que por acaso e com ele veio a foto do personagem da série de TV Fringe (Dr. Walter Bishop, personagem vivida pelo ator John Noble) segurando o disco.
Fui procurar pela rede qual era a conexão e descobri coisas do arco da velha, tipo teoria de conspiração... Ao que pude verificar, parece que JJ Abrams, criador desta série (e da já clássica Lost), inventou a banda Violet Sedan Chair, cujo tecladista apareceu em um episódio (vivido por Christopher Lloyd) em que Bishop se declarava fã da banda.
O lance é que o maluco (Abrams) não parou por aí, pois deve ter arregimentado alguns músicos e preparou o “produto”, ou seja, produziu e gravou o disco da banda, pegou algumas cópias e distribuiu, de alguma forma bem obscura, em algumas lojas especializadas em LPs (raridade...) nos Estados Unidos.
A partir daí, a coisa virou quase que uma lenda urbana, com pessoas fazendo as mais diversas conexões, até que o assunto foi parar em fóruns, blogs e sites referentes à série Fringe.
O disco, que tem de tudo para nos levar a acreditar que foi produzido em 1971, na verdade foi lançado em 2009. Não há qualquer tipo de informação sobre os músicos envolvidos, nem sobre compositores, onde foi gravado, etc. Por exemplo: na capa há o nome dos músicos e o que eles tocam, porém não há relacionado nenhum guitarrista, mas, mesmo assim, não há qualquer referência a estes músicos na rede. Tudo isso ainda permanece um mistério – pelo menos pra mim, depois de tantas pesquisas, conforme se pode ver em alguns links que selecionei (abaixo).
O que interessa, a música, surpreende ainda mais depois que sabemos toda essa história, porque é totalmente excelente! Uma mistura de rock de garagem e psicodelia típicas da época (final dos 60 e começo dos 70), com um toque de rock alternativo, meio que se misturássemos o Pink Floyd dos primeiros discos com o Kula Shaker, qualquer coisa nesse sentido.
O “nível de embuste” é tão alto que algumas músicas até têm estalos e chiados – falsos e desnecessários, diga-se de passagem –, que meu grande amigo Edson D’Aquino, El Presidente De Los Gravetos & Berlotas, fez o favor de remover através do Soundforge; é esta versão que estou disponibilizando aqui.
Se alguém tiver mais alguma informação, por favor, faça as honras: a caixa de comentários seve pra isso.
Divirtam-se!

P.S.: eu nunca vi um episódio inteiro dessa série... Quem sabe um dia?...
