Music Emporium by Music Emporium
Blistering rockers with wispy melodies, Buddhist chants with wild-eyed psychedelic anthems: all part of the unique acid-folk vision of LA's Music Emporium, led by keyboard virtuoso/singer Bill "Casey" Cosby.

LA's short-lived Music Emporium released one stupidly rare LP in 1969, now exalted by hardcore psych collectors for its odd, alchemical mix of blistering guitar fuzz, wispy, perfumed melodies, throbbing keyboards, and deeply mystic Buddhist chants. One of the most astonishingly original units of the era, the conservatory-trained Music Emporium is a supermarket full of truly brain-bending sounds.
