{"product_id":"bird-in-the-engine-857176003621","title":"Bird in the Engine","description":"Vinyl LP repressing. In the late '60s, Pip Proud recorded two of the oddest records ever to come out of Australia-ADRENALINE \u0026amp; RICHARD and a BIRD IN THE ENGINE-before vanishing into obscurity for the better part of three decades. Often called the 'Australian Syd Barrett,' Proud actually released his second album in 1969, a year prior to THE MADCAP LAUGHS, and developed his indigenous Psychedelia in virtual isolation. A BIRD IN THE ENGINE is even rarer than his debut. From the extraordinary 'Eagle-Wise' to the remarkable title track (which includes the un-credited performance of a friend hitting a cardboard box with a microphone), Proud's unrestrained genius is laid bare, a delicate tension of simple melodies and maddening form. While other compilations of Proud's music have been released in recent years, this is the first time a BIRD IN THE ENGINE has been reissued in it's original format. Recommended for fans of Alvarius B., Donovan and Jandek.","brand":"Superior Viaduct","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50526288281683,"sku":"1333192X","price":22.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/1937\/5187\/files\/2784787_a7405f20-0a46-4737-ae9b-9828414b8e42.jpg?v=1791911604","url":"https:\/\/www.deepdiscount.com\/products\/bird-in-the-engine-857176003621","provider":"Deep Discount","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
