Great and fantastic psychedelic LP from this Texas group, recorded in 1969 but released just in 1989. Dark psych explorations sometimes reminding 13 Floor elevators, sometimes the darkest Doors sounds ,HP Lovecraft,etc. There is a controversy on this album: which is the name of the band? Cold Sun or Dark Shadows? "As with many things in their history, the name "Cold Sun” is enigmatic. The 1989 retrospective album on the Rockadelic label that first brought the Sonobeat recordings to light didn’t even appear under that name, but as "Dark Shadows” which is the title of a popular 1960s mystery TV series. In the liner notes Miller denied ever having been in a band called Cold Sun, and suggested that they had always been called Dark Shadows. However he had referred to the band’s real name in a 1976 interview, where he mentioned that before playing with Roky Erickson in the Aliens he "spent seven years developing the electric auto-harp with a band called Cold Sun”.(from Fantasy)
