Album Description

"One night in June 82 I was riding home along Camden Road when I drove down a hole that had been dug in the road and that hadn't been filled properly. I flew over the handlebars and collided with some park railings, fracturing my left elbow in 8 places, breaking my ulna and radius, several toes, my right heel, and cutting my head and chest open. I spent the entire summer in hospital, and the next year recuperating. I sued Camden Council, and after 3 years (!) I got an out of court settlement. My solicitor told me to reject it and hold out for more, but we were completely broke and in debt, so I took the money, I paid off all my debts, bought a car, had a holiday and had just enough left to buy a portastudio and issue a privately pressed album.<P>I gave out Miasma as I finally entitled it to a few friends, and figured that was that. However, one of these mates gave a copy to Funhouse Records in Margate. They, in turn, called me up and ordered 200 copies. A few weeks later they asked for another 500. Then some foreign distributors called up asking for copies. I couldn't believe what was happening. After years of trying and getting nowhere, I stopped trying and suddenly it all starts going right. There's got to be a moral in there somewhere."- Nick Saloman

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Great Lo-Fi Psych.......2002-05-13

Nick Saloman is both a great musician and songwriter,with a keen sense for psychedelic pop.This newer remaster contains some songs that are not on the original Reckless label CD release.Be warned,this is a truly homemade record warts and all tracked probably on an inexpensive,early Tascam 4 track.For fans of low fidelity psychedelic freakouts like this ,also check out George Brigman who was making similar records back in the 70's.

5 out of 5 stars Never Mind The Dead, Here's The Frond.......2002-01-21

Probably the most intense slab of 60's psychedelia. Challenged only by the Frond's successive albums and anything by Jimi Hendrix. The kicker is that it was released in 1986.
Fiercly intense...Hendrix style guitars...majestic organs...and lot's echo unit fun, this is no surrealistic pillow, but something far more... Why settle for the banality of the Dead? You seek the Bevis Frond. Nick can do for you in one solo what it takes a "Jam Band" 20 odd minutes of noodling to work out.
This re-release contains out-takes that Nick, the Bevis Frond hisself, down plays as not very good. If that's the case, then at his worst he's incredible.
