THE FLOW
From New York, this trio was responsible for one (and a half) of the most sought-after private pressings of the early '70s. The music of The Flow is intensely heavy but still indebted to melody. The songs are full of ideas and largely avoid the pitfalls of the usual blues-based/trio format. It Swallowed The Sun is about the heaviest blast of rock ever to open a record, but ten minutes later the band is gently breathing through Meditations and then into Bach's Toccata In D Minor. The Flow were only three, but there are no weak points to be found in their musical integrity. The original LP cover is pretty mindblowing as well. About the only fault to be mentioned is the recording quality - it sounds like the music was recorded live in a big room and the vocals overdubbed later. It's not a disaster by any means, though - and the Shadoks reissue (which has considerably better sound than the bootlegs) is recommended.
Pete Fine obviously used Flow as a catalyst for ideas, and themes from this period turned up in all the recordings he made throughout the '70s. The Flow disbanded when his girlfriend inherited some money and they moved to Arizona. He put together a new and entirely different kind of band there, and in 1974 made a solo album that holds a similarly mind blowing status among record collectors...(Fuzz Acid & Flowers)
