Con futuros miembros de la banda de acompa\u00f1amiento de Roky Erickson Bleib Alien \/ The Aliens. <\/p>\n<p> Grabado en 1970 pero nunca editado en la \u00e9poca. <\/p>\n<p> Formados en Austin a finales de los 60 por el visionario letrista y autoarpista Billy Bill Miller junto al guitarra Tom McGarrigle, Cold Sun evolucionaron de un grupo llamado al principio Cauldron y luego Amethyst, que durante una \u00e9poca contaron con John Kearney (de The Spades, primer grupo de Roky Erickson) a la bater\u00eda. Miller (que podr\u00eda ser considerado como una especie de proto-G\u00f3tico, siempre vistiendo de negro y muy influenciado por Joe Meek,  la ciencia ficci\u00f3n y las pel\u00edculas de terror), comenz\u00f3 a experimentar con los extra\u00f1os sonidos que extra\u00eda de su autoarpa el\u00e9ctrica (instrumento tambi\u00e9n usado por los primeros Electric Prunes) y la droga alucin\u00f3gena mescalina (en lugar del LSD, m\u00e1s asociado con los hippies). Amethyst sol\u00edan hacer jams con m\u00fasicos como Benny Thurman (13th Floor Elevators) y Steve Webb (Lost &#038; Found, otro de los grupos de International Artists). La formaci\u00f3n definitiva de Amethyst se completa con Hugh Patton a la bater\u00eda y Mike Waugh al bajo, tocando en sitios cono el I.L. Club, un lugar hist\u00f3rico dentro la historia del blues y la psicodelia en Austin. <\/p>\n<p> Fue a trav\u00e9s de la amistad de Mike Waugh con John Ike Walton (legendario bater\u00eda de los Elevators) que Billy y su grupo fueron fichados por el sello \/ estudio local Sonobeat (hogar tambi\u00e9n de Mariani, Wildfire o Johnny Winter), cuyo productor les ofreci\u00f3 grabar un disco con la intenci\u00f3n de licenciarlo a un sello grande (se habl\u00f3 de Columbia). As\u00ed fue como naci\u00f3 el legendario disco de Cold Sun. El grupo (todav\u00eda sin nombre definitivo, usando algunos como Daily Planet, Dark Shadows y finalmente Cold Sun), con un sonido marcado por el extra\u00f1o sonido de Milller al autoarpa electrificada y la inmensa guitarra fuzz de McGarrigle, envuelto en feedback y letras futuristas, grab\u00f3 una serie de temas en los estudios Sonobeat, al mismo tiempo que ensayaban en el apartamento de Billy en Castle Hill al oeste de Austin. Siete temas fueron seleccionados para el \u00e1lbum, que se abre con \u00abSouth Texas\u00bb (en palabras de Patrick \u00abThe Lama\u00bb Lundborg: \u00abla canci\u00f3n psicod\u00e9lica definitiva\u00bb), llegando al cl\u00edmax psicod\u00e9lico con los 11 minutos finales de \u00abRa-Ma\u00bb. <\/p>\n<p> El disco de Cold Sun fue archivado y nunca lleg\u00f3 a editarse en la \u00e9poca, permaneciendo en el m\u00e1s absoluto olvido, pasando los miembros del grupo a otros proyectos. <\/p>\n<p> Billy Bill Miller y Hugh Patton formaron junto a Roky Erickson el grupo Bleib Alien \/ The Aliens, siendo Billy esencial en devolver a Roky a la actividad musical, tras su estancia en hospitales psiqui\u00e1tricos. <\/p>\n<p> No fue hasta 1990 que el disco de Cold Sun fue editado en vinilo por el sello Rockadelic (en una peque\u00f1a edici\u00f3n de 300 copias), seguido por una nueva edici\u00f3n en el sello alem\u00e1n World In Sound en 2008, ya descatalogada. <\/p>\n<p> Para esta nueva edici\u00f3n en Guerssen, hemos tratado de recrear como hubiese sido una edici\u00f3n real en 1970.  El artwork, con portada de cart\u00f3n duro a la vieja usanza, ha sido dise\u00f1ado por el ilustrador psicod\u00e9lico Callum Rooney. Para el audio se ha usado la misma fuente que la edici\u00f3n original de Rockadelic pero el sonido ha sido bastante mejorado gracias a un meticuloso trabajo de restauraci\u00f3n manual y mastering por el ingeniero audi\u00f3filo Ezra Lesser, que tambi\u00e9n ha escrito la historia definitiva de Cold Sun para las notas del insert. <\/p>\n<p> *Portada de cart\u00f3n duro con artwork vintage por Callum Rooney<br \/>*Restaurado y remasterizado de forma audi\u00f3fila por Ezra Lesser<br \/>*Insert con notas y fotos<br \/>*Cup\u00f3n de descarga digital <\/p>\n<p> \u00abUno de los discos psicod\u00e9lico m\u00e1s importantes y que no se asemeja a ning\u00fan otro\u00bb &#8211; Paul Major <\/p>\n<p> \u00abCold Sun son una anomal\u00eda en la historia de la m\u00fasica psicod\u00e9lica de Texas.

The band, driven by Miller's strange electrified autoharp sounds plus the massive fuzz guitar of McGarrigle, dressed with feedback and futuristic lyrics, laid down several tracks in between rehearsals at Miller's house on Castle Hill (west Austin).

Miller, a proto-Goth figure always dressed in black, highly influenced by Joe Meek and vintage sci-fi \/ horror movies, started to experiment with weird noises out of his electrified autoharp, favoring the audio-oriented drug mescaline over the LSD associated with hippies.
