Let's learn ESP. NO! Don't use it on me!!! Use it on....someone else...the cat. Plus SAHB, Peter and Gordon, and some rare demos.
I was intrigued by the 1968 song "The Prophet" by The Wayward Bus. I played that song on my last show. So I did some research and found a repository for such things as research on ESP, records about ESP, tea cozies based on ESP. I found an album by David Hoy, the aforementioned "prophet".
“David Hoy believes the future can be changed…if it can be foreseen. Hoy says “I hope my predictions into the future will be taken away as an experiment in ESP. I make many predictions I cannot explain, but I state them just as they come to me – through a process of mind-release best defined as TIME PROJECTED EMPATHY.
In many cases, Hoy frankly hopes that action can be taken to avoid the events he foresees…We predict you will find The Prophet entertainingly awesome.”
This record was released in 1970 and doesn't exist in any other format at the moment. But you know I'm gonna bring you the strange. Just like my prom date said about me.
Back cover text:
Dr. David Hoy, one of America's foremost authorities on extrasensory perception, is a scholar of extraordinary psychic capacity. He has conducted a lifetime study of mind-to-mind communication and is world-renowned for his ESP experiences and research conducted under scientific conditions. He is also the author of several books on ESP, read by a large following in seven languages.
Dr. Hoy's astonishing predictions have been well documented and proven to be 85% accurate. David Hoy predicted Bobby Goldsboro's smash hit recording of "Honey" weeks before either of them ever heard of the song! Sixty days before the Silver Bridge collapsed into the Ohio River near Point Pleasant, W. Va., in 1967, David Hoy predicted the disaster on a taped program at radio station KDKA in Pittsburgh. Two years before Jackie Kennedy and Aristotle Onassis were wed, David Hoy predicted the match on Boston radio and TV! Two weeks before the assassination of Sen. Robert Kennedy, David Hoy predicted at Tusculum College in Greenville, Tenn., that Kennedy would win the California primary but that it would be fraught with tragedy! In January of 1969, David Hoy predicted that because of personal tragedy, Sen. Ted Kennedy would not run for the presidency in 1972!
Dr. Hoy's methods of predicting future events are recounted in this monumental recording. His vast experieince [sic] in the realm of extrasensory perception uniquely qualifies him to tell others how to awaken their psychic faculties and develop their own extrasensory potential. This album is the most explicit and interesting presentation of ESP development I have come across in my eight years of psychic study.

David Hoy - ESP According To Hoy (Side 1) (1970)
Translator - My Favorite Drug (1982) Dan Lewis exposed me to this album, which I like a lot. I remember that and Ken Gee singing "Everywhere I'm Not" for his band The Standard. He sang it as if he was trying to get out of a hostage situation. The Standard was notable for having George Tatuska on drums. Later George was a founding member of Goo Goo Dolls. Ah, South Buffalo in the '80s. Anyhow, a more edgy but less versatile XTC.

Gila - This Morning (1973)
From Discogs: Formed in early 1969, out of the Stuttgart political commune, as Gila Füchs, we can only guess as to what their music was like in these early days, yet they quickly established themselves as the foremost exponents of psychedelic space-rock. After disbanding for some six months or so, and working as a member of Popol Vuh, Conny Veit decided to form a new incarnation of Gila. This new band was a veritable supergroup, as it featured Popol Vuh leader Florian Fricke and ex-Amon Düül II multi-instrumentalist Daniel Fichelscher. Although hinted at by the earlier Gila, the new Gila sound [ed: this record] was very much in the Popol Vuh style, with medieval and ethnic touches in a complexly textured rock music featuring multi-guitars and female vocals. Whereas Popol Vuh were purely a studio band, Gila toured and played many concerts, and existed until summer 1974. After this Danny Fichelscher joined Popol Vuh, and Gila eventually split. Conny Veit then joined Guru Guru for a short while before disappearing from the scene for several years. He reappeared within the ranks of Popol Vuh some time later. Whether he has made any other music, we don't know.
