THIS WEEK I'M LISTING 2 NIK RAICEVIC LPS IN M- CONDITION FROM THE EARLY '70S PLUS LOCUST-PLAYGUE FROM 1976 (WHICH HE DID THE FRONT COVER ARTWORK)
Nic Raicevic (Pascal) The Sixth Ear (Narco NR 666) M- with VG++ cover slight ringwear 1972
Los Angeles based artist, Nik Raicevic is a sound creator and a keyboard player who recorded a handful of albums between 1971 and 1975. His music is at the intersection of radical psycho-electronic weirdness and kraut kosmische music (in particular the scifi-hypno-minimal modules of Conrad Schnitzler in Grun, Rot and Blau). It presents mega epic & tripped out electronic improvisations. This is an absolute must for collectors and fans of visceral, neurotic soundscapes.
"To discover the future, look into prophetic images drawn from the vaults of the subconscious."

Nik “Pascal” Raicevic’s chief claim to fame is as a session percussionist for two tracks on the Rolling Stones’ Goat’s Head Soup, but in the early 1970s he released several pioneering electronic instrumental albums under various names.
"His first release, in 1970, was an eponymous album under the name “Head”; it was released by Buddah Records and contained tracks with names like “Cannabis Sativa” and “Methedrine”. Buddah had second thoughts fairly quickly and Raicevic was soon on his own. He released four albums on his own label (keeping the drug theme by naming it “Narco Records and Tapes”) before selling all his equipment to Steve Roach and dying of an overdose or finding Jesus or something.
This is The Sixth Ear, from 1972, with great spacey Moog sounds. For you DJs out there, this makes a fantastic music bed for back-announcing. Raicevic credits himself under three different pseudonyms on the involved musicians list on the back cover. The engineer is listed as “William Elder”, but I don’t think it’s the Mad/Playboy artist.
I have this on LP, but I’d really like to find the 8-track, which has a great warning on the cover: “DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS TAPE IF YOU ARE STONED”. It’s unclear what would happen if you were to ignore the warning, or why it wasn’t on the cover of the LP." (review from Discogs)
