Going Up - The Very Best Of by The 13th Floor Elevators - Uhune

ALBUM

Music historians credit Austin, Texas’ 13th Floor Elevators for creating psychedelic rock. Before the San Francisco scene was tuning in, turning on and dropping out, The Elevators revealed a dark and frightening side of psychedelia that wasn’t all good trips and white rabbits. Featuring songs recorded between 1966 and 1969 for International Artists, Going Up is a stellar collection for newcomers, devotees, and Roky Erickson fans alike. It kicks off with “You’re Going To Miss Me,” the band’s best known single that lent its title to a 2005 documentary on Erickson. An edited “Slip Inside This House” follows with the frantic percolations of Tommy Hall’s electric jug (yes, he attached a pickup to a whiskey jug). The tune inspired Primal Scream to cover an electronic version on 1991’s Screamadelica (and should inspire others to seek out the eight minute original). A live take of garage staple “Gloria” shows the band’s ferocity in a public setting. Stacy Sutherland’s trademark Texas style of psyche-guitar owes much to surf but he also bares country roots on a haunting rendition of the old timey standard “May The Circle Remain Unbroken.”
