Abstract Truth - Cool Sounds For Heads [LP 1970]
Abstract Truth - Cool Sounds For Heads [LP 1970, Back cover]
"Cool Sounds For Heads" was a compilation album with tracks taken from Abstract Truth's previous two albums, "Totum" and "Silver Trees" plus a previously unreleased track from the "Silver Trees" sessions. "Heads" was the term used for the type of people who were into non-commercial music.
Abstract Truth produced 'head-music' (i.e. inventive, mind-stimulating music) and were one of the most progressive groups in South Africa. Unfortunately not too many other heads were into their music and so, a group which could have gone on to better things broke up in 1971.
