Skimmed from the riches in SOURCE FAMILY member Isis AQUARIAN’s vaults (by DAVE NUSS of NNCK fame), the nine tracks on Magnificence in the Memory run the gamut of YAHOWAH 13’s rainbow of styles, from the whispered funk of “Camp of the Gypsies” to the screaming and stomping of, well, “Camp of the Gypsies.” Storming through moments with abandon, Father and his Sons never repeated themselves, committing everything they did to tape in a single take. The capacity of their riffs and grooves to sound like German prog bands of the same era, psychedelic rock bands of several years previous or the as-yet-uncreated avant sounds from the indie rock movement a decade away is testament to their ability to tap the source of human inspiration. Adds OCTAVIUS, “these cuts will always be a source of inspiration.” The songs on Magnificence in the Memory were chosen to provide a nonstop exciting listening experience for Source fans and neophytes alike—and as SUNFLOWER has stated, “Father’s music is our legacy and represents the voice of the times.” (STREET DATE - 6/23/2009)
