Bobb Trimble With The Violent Reactions – Iron Curtain Innocence CD 80 w Harvest Of Dreams CD 82 -cc


COLLECTOR'S CHOICE:  Per Discogs:  Psychedelic folk / outsider musician from Worcester, Massachusetts.

Bobb Trimble, who emerged a decade too late to gain the recognition he truly deserved, crafted an exceptionally distinctive body of work that blended psychedelia, folk-rock, space music, and sound effects, creating one of rock's most compelling portrayals of a troubled psyche. Like many artists who grapple with inner turmoil, Bobb's unique perspective encompasses far more than mere fear and self-hatred; it is infused with beauty and sorrow, and his delicate, soaring voice resonates with deep emotion. His music, reminiscent of the 1960s, retained a contemporary feel when it debuted in the 1980s and again upon its re-release in the 1990s. The two exceedingly rare albums he produced command exorbitant prices among collectors, and over the years, his reputation flourished as his music circulated through tape exchanges—often on unmarked tapes, leading one male admirer to fall for the enchanting voice, only to discover that the artist was a man. In the mid-1990s, Bobb's work became more accessible when most of his albums were compiled and released on CD under the title Jupiter Transmission. Enthusiasts of psychedelia regard Bobb's music as among the finest of the 1980s. His public performances were primarily concentrated in the early 1980s, coinciding with the release of his two albums. Although his musical style diverged from the punk rock bands of the "Wormtown" (Worcester, MA) scene, his eccentric, solitary persona allowed him to blend seamlessly with his contemporaries. The Wormtown 78 punk compilation is credited with motivating him to produce his debut album, Iron Curtain Innocence, in 1980. Bobb continued to create music after his second album, Harvest of Dreams, but he never recaptured the extraordinary success of those initial releases, and much of his subsequent work remained largely unheard (with Life Beyond the Doghouse, released by Orpheus Records of Denmark in 2002, being a notable exception). In 2000, he contributed guitar work on "Buzz Bombb" for Abunai!’s Round-Wound album and their Deep Mu Flux +2 EP. In November 2007, Secretly Canadian reissued Iron Curtain Innocence and Harvest of Dreams.
