Michael James "Runaway World" LP
A great artifact for all 60s and 70s music collectors. Original copies in good condition change hands for about 500 US$. The spirit of the music is a tasty combination between aggressive fuzz-garage-hard rock and atmospheric psych-folk with moody vocals and a poetic message, comparable to World In Sound´s legendary Phantasia (WIS-1015) or Dr. Hooker. Beside perfectly arranged songs like "You Don´t Walk On My Street", "I Remember" and the psych-trip "Sleepers", you´ll hear weird spoken word themes as "Guatamalan Strange" or "Electronic Silver" and heavy-riff instrumentals.
This was the debut release by Michael James who´s still active in the music business with his own label Empath Records and the groups Children of the Risk, Michael Yonkers and Mounting Santa feat. Dr. Fink of Prince´s Revolution, which have 4 bonustracks on this release. This LP-reissue is produced from the original analog master tapes. So, look forward to this great album by a unique rock artist like none you've heard!
