Factory Time Machine - Video
PUBLISHED:  Jan 16, 2014
DESCRIPTION:
Having spent my teenage years in Rye, East Sussex and had many of my formative music experiences buying records and watching and playing gigs in nearby Hastings, it's always a real sick thrill to find out about old bands from the area that rocked. Thanks to Robin Wills and his super cool http://www.purepop1uk.blogspot.co.uk site, I chanced upon a monster meat head brain frier from the town of my youth - and figured it really had to be on YouTube.

Here's what Robin himself has to say about the track:

Here is a real MONSTER that doesn't know when to quit. This is essential Heavy Psych cum Bonehead Crunching Proto Punk madness! Think of The Stooges if born in an East Sussex barn fed on exclusively on fermented scrumpy and 'shrooms. The proceedings start all quiet and subdued then it all literally burst out of the vinyl with blistering lead breaks and a crazed lead vocal falling somewhere between a Jesse Hector and a goat-like Roger Chapman. The whole performance approaches the grandeur of Open Mind's Magic Potion, only here Time Machine just goes on and on and on; squeezing as much sleazy noise and prolonging the madness until it reaches its delirious fuzzed-out ending. This Factory is not to be mistaken for the Factory who issued the psych gem Path Through The Forest, this lot were formed around the nucleus of Andy and Tony Qunta with Lol Cooksey and Geoff Peckham. Based in Hastings; Factory were in operation between 1970 and 1976. Although encouraged at different times by Robin Gibb and Roger Daltrey, Time Machine was their sole release. The B side is tamer, yet a fine example of early 70s Brit Psych owing a large debt to 1968.
