“At their best, Peacepipe peel out great ’60s California biker psych-guitar jams that sound like a cross between Blue Cheer and Quicksilver Messenger Service, full of wah wah action, distortion, and massive sustain. They also remind us a bit of Japan’s White Heaven. Unfortunately, there are just a few let-down tracks, where they let hippie cliche and ill-fated dabblings in pop get the best of them. So it’s not all killer. But, if you’re in the mood, there’s a lot of good stuff here that’s totally worthwhile. Recorded in Hollywood, California circa 1969, this record is very dated, but very cool — and heavy (a la Iron Butterfly, not Slayer!). Led by guitarist John Uzonyi, the Peacepipe trio (also known as The Human Equation) highlights John’s vocals and wild guitar, but drummer Gary Tsuruda and keyboardist Rick Abts get their licks in as well. Chalk another one up for the Shadoks label, who have included three bonus tracks (two from their 1968 single) that weren’t included on the Peacepipe LP (first issued by Rockadelic in ’95) on this cd reissue.” – Aquarius Records
