Artist description Daevid Allen, the original master of Psychedelia, founder of Soft Machine and Gong, has a new band based in San Francisco. This is Daevid's first U.S.-based band since New York Gong in the late 70's, which launched the careers of Bill Laswell's Material and Kramer. Money Doesn't Make It was recorded on a magical weekend in September 1998. What started out as a loose jam session turned out so well that it seems the music forced the band into being. All brand new material: psychedelic, trance/tribal guitarscapes form the basis of the songs topped off by Daevid's lyric explorations. The approach is simple and fun, yet the result is serious and powerful music. University of Errors is made up of a core of musicians from San Francisco Krautrock/Space rock explorers Mushroom and a few other friends... walls of guitars sprinkled with sax, flute, a variety of Middle Eastern instruments, and a rhythm section steeped in simple grooves all mix to cause a powerful alchemical reaction. Long time Gong and Canterbury aficionados will love this music - some relating it to vintage Gong or even early Soft Machine. But there is a modern feel that will appeal to fans of such neo-psychedelic bands as Olivia Tremor Control, Bardo Pond, Bevis Frond, Cul De Sac, to name but a few.
