***During his time on our planet, FATHER YOD understood that beauty and joy, the things of heaven, were meant to inform and inspire our time here on earth. His family of thirteen wives and over a hundred other beloved members were part of the Renaissance of the 1960s and ‘70s among the young people of Los Angeles and elsewhere—and the music that Father made and encouraged others in the family to make is the shining example of what makes THE SOURCE FAMILY an underground American legend. During the early-to-mid 1970s, as the Source Family roamed from Los Angeles to San Francisco to Hawaii, nine albums were recorded and offered for sale at The Source restaurant in L.A. and everywhere else they found themselves. Credited to Father Yod and the SPIRIT OF ’76, YAHOWHA13, and THE SAVAGE SONS OF YO O WHA, all of these records were issued with several discs of additional material in the 1990s as part of an enormous CD box set called God and Hair. Enter Drag City! Man, our minds were blown by that God and Hair box. When we were given a chance to work with some of the folks from The Source back in 2008, we just said yeah, let’s hear more of that craaazy music. First came the never-before-heard tape from Children of the Sixth Root Race, Songs From the Source. Then, Magnificence in the Memory, a vault-diving expedition by NNCK’s Dave Nuss credited to Father Yod and the Source Family. Now in the year 2012, rare energies are at play, and the times are calling for another trip into the deep pile of Source Family song-and-dance music. With The Thought Adjusters, the focus is on extended rhythms created not only by YaHoWha13 but all the family musicians. The focus is on extended rhythms created in support of Father as he made his teachings, with all the jams integrating both aspects; music and wisdom. Musicians on this record include PYTHIAS SUNFLOWER, DJIN, OCTAVIUS, RHYTHM, VIBRATION and ZORASTER, with backing vocals from AHOM, AQUARIANA, CINDERELLA and ANASTASIA. (STREET DATE - 5/22/2012)
