**NOTE: ACID ARCHIVES review:  OMEGA – Michigan Avenue by Scott ‘Loopden’ Bubrig

"With 12 original folk rock songs this album is very enjoyable and memorable. Every song is anchored with 12-string guitar, bass, drums and accented with additional guitars, recorder, mandolin, banjo, sitar, harmonica and various effects". "Side 1’s “Echoes of Emptiness” is a pleasant tune that meanders in a nice dreamy way contemplating one’s destiny, bridged by a haunting blend of soprano recorder and crude sitar, giving the song an otherworldly essence". "Side two opens with “How Long Will It Be”, the heaviest track on the album, a three guitar attack with some of the strangest fuzz guitar ever heard - it sounds like a cheap organ plugged into a cheap effects box. “Inasmuch”, with Penny Cathey as guest lead vocalist, should appeal to all female folk-psych records collectors". "Some may find this album a tad amateurish in production and performance but after a few listens if should become evident the arrangements are just about all great, with sharp counterculture lyrics, decent musicianship and well-crafted songs. Unlike many private folk rock records that have to rely solely on a high charm factor to be accepted amongst collectors, Omega have both quality and charm in their favor".
