4 out of 5 stars Deviants - 'Disposable' (Captain Trip) 4 1/2 stars.......2006-04-22

Originally released in 1968,as this was their follow-up to their debut 'Ptooff' lp(see my review)and nearly as good.'Disposable' simply continues the feat of showing off Mick Farren's off beat sense of humor.With cuts like "Sparrows And Wires","Let's Loot The Supermarket",the notable "Slum Lord" and "Normality",I personally thought that 'Disposable' was a true keeper.Line-up:Farren-vocals,Duncan Sanderson-bass,Sid Bishop-guitar and Russell Hunter-drums.Another outstanding late '60's UK piece of psychedelia to fully take in.

An album designed to shake the Empire probably shouldn't be characterized as "charming," but the Deviants' Ptooff!, an artifact from England's freak underground circa 1967, is nothing if not beguiling. After all, most people today are afraid to shake the state much, lest it get an upset stomach and spit up. Or, worse yet, it could fall down on top of them. But then! Then! Well, a group of "anarchist art student teenage asshole[s]" could really put the ol' scare into the fattened-for-slaughter ruling class by combining elements of the Fugs, Charles Mingus, and John Cage into something unfathomably artistic, couldn't they? Well, no. But as Mick Farren's sage bio notes: "You live and learn, don't you?" --Steven Stolder

Album Description

UK psych underground garage classic featuring Mick Farren and future Pink Fairies members. Includes the original cover and notes by John Peel. Alive Records.

5 out of 5 stars The Deviants - 'Ptooff' (Alive Records).......2003-12-15

Absolutely an essential disc for every psych fan alive(no pun intended).'Ptooff' has been out for awhile,but who cares?It STILL deserves a review.This is the brilliant debut 1967 lp of the band.Honestly,I could listen to this CD once a week from now on.It's THAT good!Just an all around fun record."I'm Coming Home" certainly hits you in the face as "Child Of The Sky" is a nice sounding acoustically done composition."Garbage" is like the band's anthem,with it's razor sharp guitar work and creative arrangement."Bun" is an awesome adventurous instrumental,as "Nothing Man" is rather a demented track that speaks of a misguided soul who hates everyone."Charlie" and the ass-kicking "Deviation Street" round out this MUST-HAVE disc.The Deviants still exist today,in one form or another.Not to long ago,the Japanese label Captain Trip had reissued this title with a special fold-out cover,so I've heard.

5 out of 5 stars A psychedelic punk classic.......2001-01-15

First and best of the three albums recorded by the original Deviants lineup, Ptooff! is capable of sharply polarizing attitudes. To a number of ex-Swinging London cognoscenti (see Jonathon Green's Days In The Life) the Deviants remain a byword for musical incompetence; even their former manager, Steve Sparkes, recently dubbed Ptooff! "the worst record in the history of man." In hindsight, though, the Deviants were simply a decade ahead of their time, their alleged "ineptitude" making perfect sense in light of Punk's back-to-basics ethos. There's a large dollop of justice in Mick Farren's claim that, along with the MC5 and the Stooges, the Deviants had more to do with the way rock developed than the likes of Ten Years After. Led Zep they weren't, but who'd want them to be? (Paul Rudolph, apparently, but that's another episode.)

    Ptooff!'s significance lies as much in the manner of its making as in its music. Mick Farren, anarchist, hustler, underground writer and sometime doorman at London's groovy UFO club, puts together a shambolic R&B band called the Social Deviants. By dint of persistence and massive drug ingestion the band overcomes opposition from those among the cognoscenti who like their freakouts on the mellow side, and becomes something of a fixture on the London scene. Eschewing the standard music-biz route to getting a record out, Farren persuades a whacked-out hippie son of a millionaire to put up the cash for an album. Mercifully free of any record company pressure to make "product", and fuelled by even more drugs and the will to attempt radical sonic experiments, the band parlay their technical limitations and studio naïvete into a flawed masterpiece of Zappaesque garage psychedelia.

    (The band further challenge established music-biz practice by distributing Ptooff! themselves, even seizing control of the means of packaging by paying street hippies with enough amphetamines to keep them up all night wrapping the disc into its glorious multi-foldout pop-art sleeve.)

    This salutary tale - of imagination and do-it-yourself fervour wresting control of a popular art form from the commodifying clutches of the music industry - would in 1977 come to serve as a blueprint for the indie tendencies of punk. Its ramifications continue to this day: that obscure techno/dance outfit working out of the basement of the café round the corner from your apartment, making CDs and artwork on primitive MIDI lashups and pirated software, can trace its lineage back to Ptooff! and the Deviants.

    Enough of the sociology lecture, already - what's the music like? Imagine early Who and Stones filtered through a musique concrete scrambler and supercoded with oblique hippie satire, and you're getting there.

    The band's R&B roots show through most clearly on the first track proper, "I'm Coming Home", an urgent, sinister blues groove, Farren all strangulated lustful menace, building to an explosive climax which recalls uncannily the Ron Asheton fuzz-wah panzer-guitar incursion on the Stooges' 1969. A true case of parallel evolution. Rumour that the Deviants used this song as an extended thrash during their stage shows makes one salivate for a contemporary live bootleg.

    "Charlie" is a throwaway jogalong boogie replete with Farren narrative which prefigures some of his later fictional mutated-Wild West themes. The case for the Deviants' "incompetence" comes nearest to being made here. Not that there's anything wrong with it, really - just that, with contemporaries like the Yardbirds, Fleetwood Mac and a hundred others already mining the blues seam, you better be pretty hot instrumentally if you're gonna stand out. The Deviants aren't, and don't.

    "Child Of The Sky" is an acoustic ballad with recorder accompaniment, rather cute in its own way but somewhat out of place on this record. So's "Bun", a mock-Tudor instrumental included as a show-off for Cord Rees's solo guitar.

    Things start to get seriously interesting on the last three tracks. "Nothing Man" is a collage of multilayered treated percussion, electronic noise and tape loops framing disembodied lyrical snatches, reminiscent of the Velvets' "Murder Mystery" and very close to the kind of stuff Cabaret Voltaire and Throbbing Gristle would be putting out ten years down the line.

    "Garbage" is a real oddity, a stop-start rummage through rock's dustbin of used riffs, more electronic noise, probably the first vomiting ever committed to vinyl (thereby sealing the Deviants' punk credentials!) and harmonica interjections from Mick which must surely rank as the most perfunctory inter-stanza harp on record since Bob Dylan first crawled into a studio. Is it a comment on the disposability of pop? A swipe at the band's detractors?  

    Finally, "Deviation Street", a mindbending psychedelic variant on the "Louie Louie" riff interspersed with feedback, sinister poetry, Beatlemania screams, a glorious "Speed - speed - speed - speed" hookline (who needs veiled drug allusions when you got the Deviants?) which eventually mutates into a panoramic soundtrack tour through the lower depths of Swinging London, sampling Bo Diddley and Jimi Hendrix en route.

    The original sleeve of Ptooff! contained a quote, allegedly from Plato (it ain't in the standard translations) but attributed to Tuli Kupferberg of the Fugs: "When the mode of the music changes, the walls of the city shake." The Deviants set up a tremor which was hardly noticed in their own time, but which still resonates down the years.

4 out of 5 stars hard to get a handle on.......2000-03-15

this band, led by singer Mick Farren, were very hard to get a handle on in 1968. They actually opened for a brand new band called Led Zepplin in November '68 out in Exeter, England. Their music was influenced by the Stones, the Mothers of Invention, the Pretty Things, Velvet Underground, and even a little Charles Mingus. "I'm Coming Home" was a great track. The Deviants were an influence on the MC5 and Iggy's Stooges. Collectors and the curious should get this extremely rare record.

5 out of 5 stars a true underground classic.......2000-02-05

I heard this album playing in a boutique on King's Road in London in 1968 and bought it. Its variety of straight and experimental songs give it an underground cachet comparable to Soft Machine and Pink Floyd of that same period, and it throws in some Zappa-like social satire/criticism for good measure. The group's leader, Mick Farren, has gone on to be an influential writer and critic on both sides of the Atlantic. Among other things, the fantastic fold-out artwork is one of my favorite album covers. It's "underground" in the sense that the group obviously weren't trying to be the next Beatles. They were producing a knowing but humorous commentary on life at that time as it paraded down Portobello Road.

    5 out of 5 stars Dr Mott.......2002-12-28

    The Deviants have been going in one form or another since 1966. Over the years a multitude of Rock 'n' Roll drifters have gone through their ranks. Most have gone on to form the basis of the English Underground Rock Scene like "The Pretty Things", "Hawkwind'', "The Pink Fairies" and "Warsaw Pakt". Although often thought of as a British Band, leading from the front has always been mis-placed American, lead vocalist and muse, Mick Farren, making him the John Mayall of his own genre.

    Since 1978 standing beside him on stage, playing Wyatt Earp to Farren's Doc Holiday, has been guitarist extraordinaire Andy Colquhoun. In 1978 he had just come out of the punk era, after leaving "Tanz Der Youth" with Brian James ex-Damned, playing music that they themselves had labeled "Transmagical". So, he needed no further recommendation to Mr. Farren. Since then they have blazed a cosmic trail across the fluctuating skies of Rock 'n' Roll, often dropping down onto the surface of the Planet to lend a hand to like-minded musical compadres such as the magnificent "Pink Fairies", re-union in 1987. ("The Kill 'em and Eat 'em" Tour and Album).

    But six years after their last album, "The Deviants" are back with their new album 'Dr. Crow'. And let me tell you, this is not a bird to be taken lightly. Mick Farren keeps his role as the voice of the Deviants, writing some of the most weird but powerful lyrics that have come out of Rock 'n' Roll in many a moon. To keep those vocal chords in order Mick must still be using Sulphuric Acid to gargle with rather than Listerine. As musical director and lead guitarist Andy Colquhoun is still his perfect foil, laying down some Sonic psychedelic Hendrix influenced licks to accompany his old buddy. On 'Dr. Crow' the Dynamic Duo has been joined by the Amazing Doug Lunn, who has been the big noise behind too many bands and sessions to mention. But to quote him from the album sleeve (which also includes excellent art work from the late great Edward Barker, nobody draws Crows like that anymore):

    "I started with nothing and I still have most of it. Music has always been my favorite revolutionary sport. I have friends in few places.''

    Sadly he sounds like a lot of people this Dog knows. Filling the drum stool (you won't find any drum machines on a Deviants album) is one Ric Parnell, the son of famous British band leader Jack. Ric has had an interesting career to say the least. Firstly with British Prog-Rockers "Atomic Rooster" in the seventies and then with various other bands and sessions including the dubious honour of twice having filled the tricky job of Skinsman with "Spinal Tap". I jest not.

    The music starts out strongly (and then gets stronger) with "When Dr. Crow turns on the Radio". It begins with the spoken words " Appears to be a suicide mission", which has all the Deviants trade marks like: gruff vocals, a catchy verse, a strong backbeat, an opening riff that would shed skin, and a guitar solo that kicks in an extra gear. All of it builds up to an orgasmic finale with the talents of Jack Lancaster (ex "Blodwyn Pig'') on saxophone being brought in to swap solos with Andy Colquhoun. Sounds good? It gets better. Next up is over seven minutes of the Beefheart/Blues "You're Gonna need somebody on your Bond'' with its rock solid structure, featuring a never bettered duet between Mick Farren and Johnette Hapolitane. Over the middle songs the music remains at an impossibly high standard with Mick Farren letting everybody know in no uncertain terms his views of the stupidity of warmongers and the general absurdity of the world.

    But not all of the songs have a totally serious subject matter as in "Diabolo's Cadillac" Mick Farren's ode to his favorite cocktail, the "El Diabolo", a drink only second in depravity to the "Pan-Galactic Gargleblaster". (An "El Diablo" is basically a "Long Island Iced Tea" with no vodka but replacing it with a double shot of tequila. This should be approached with extreme caution.) Mick Farren leaves you in no doubt as to how you will feel the next day if you wake up. "Bela Lugosi 2002" is another warning to beware of the Darkside of the Force. "A Long Dry Season" sees Ric Parnell vacate the drum seat to let old pal Phil (Filthy Animal) Taylor, ex Motorhead, have a bash and very well he does, too, giving this spoken word song some interesting twists and turns. The band then all return for a final romp through "What do you Want?", a great way to leave everybody to go home happy. Nothing like a bit of straight ahead Rock 'n' Roll to raise the spirits at the end of the day.

    A truly great album from Mick and the boys. It would easily get Mott the Dogs album of the year if it had not been released in the same year as Larry Wallis' "Death in the Guitarfternoon". But it certainly runs it a close second.

    Real Rock music made by real people, for real people, and should be bursting out of the Tahitian Queen's speakers this weekend.
    Mott the Dog.

    It was not all flowers and love and this screams and bleeds it. Opening is the perfect joke to this anti-mainstream album and sets the tone.I'm coming home is a macho home rape invasion with a deadly smile as he checks himself by the mirror Mick Farren"lead vocals and songwriter). Child of the sky is the only Deviant ballad in their short career but listen to the words its a anti-war song .Garabage is a craze Bo Diddly number on speed and acid and very crude. Bun is a time filler. Nothing Man is full of heavy percussion and comments on the times very crude words again by Mick and I love it. Charlie is a psychedelic blues number. Deviant Street is mind blowing and funny let your mind listen. This band was doomed from the beginning led by Marxist leader Mick Farren and Russel Hunter on drums Cord Rees bass Sid Bishop guitar sitar.This guys did what the stones where afraid to do.The hung out with societies Scum and loved it. John Peel"BBC DJ" love them and wrote their album notes. The record was only avaible thru a underground maginzine Oz and recording pay by a young millionaire who sponsored a marxist rev. in trinad and died.Enuff said

      Very nice eighteen song anthology of some of the band's most chaotic material,from 1967-2001. Starts off with the psychedelic "You Got To Hold On" and a Mick Farren solo tune "Trouble Coming". Then continues with another cool Farren solo gem "Carnivorous Circus". The newer tracks,"It's Alright,Ma" and "See That My Grave Is Kept Clean" sounds better than what I had expected. Also thoroughly enjoyed the early Deviants cuts like "Last Man",Jamie's Song","Deviation Street",and "I'm Coming Home".
      For good measure two covers were added,the Stones "Play With Fire" and Hawkwind's "Lost Johnny"(actually,it's a tune that Farren co-wrote with Lemmy). Much of this disc,of course seems to be SO '70's-ish. I wanted to mention the numerous musicians that appears on this CD. There's Larry Wallis(Pink Faires),Wayne Kramer(MC 5),Steve Peregrine Took(T.Rex),the list goes on.Great psych with a punk edge to it. There's even a never-heard-before radio snipet that closes this hour long disc. Recommended to all music fans with good taste.

      The compilation "This CD is Condemned" has most of the choicest cuts from the Deviants' long history. This collection is a motley grab-bag of stuff, and the best cuts here are nowhere near as good as anything on "Condemned". Don't go for this one unless you already have "Condemned" and just have to have more.

      4 out of 5 stars Brain-body rap fuel is cool.......2005-07-21

      This is where the dictation connection of rap can find its Higher Purpose: DJ Alex J's delivery of Intelligence combined with musical textures and tones. Consider this food for the Sophisticated Cool. Anyone who can throw "abacus" into a sentence has the tools that need your attention; that's U Dig Da Mental in the co-Pilot's seat. Pump it along with sound effects that are Cosmically Connected--and dig that machine-like whine keyboard on "The Power of Words." Want more mood? It's got a Carribean-like bass tone that supports the social philosophy of "What Is Black?"

      The D.O.R. use a less-is-more muted fluttering electric piano and jazz guitar to lend some air so you "Don't Sweat It": another great sample of a Thinking Man's creative touch. Follow the map of this rap and "Let it Go." That bird singing on flute is your guide; the Deviants are your Leaders. The percussionists take over on "Maxine" and the free-spirited happiness of "The Art of Mind Travel" was made to toss at a party. C'mon, slice it and dice it.
