Given the abundance of Eastern influence in Western psych-rock, India gives back with a heavy dose of acid-tinged originals and bent covers.
"Atomic Forest’s mix of blistering, fuzzy rock and synth-lead funk inspired collectors the world over to fork over thousands of dollars for original copies of their solitary release, Obsession '77. Part of the interest certainly stemmed from its liberal doses of searing fuzz guitar. Part of it sprung from the oddity of it all: had India, a country that, quite literally, churned out tens of thousands of albums during psych and hard rock’s heyday, only produced this one, lonely psychedelic album? Part of it sprung from the album’s rarity: unknown for years, Obsession '77 suddenly became a top want on every global-rock collector’s short-list." - Now-Again
"We first got wind of Atomic Forest via Academy Records' excellent comp OBSESSION, a brilliant mixing of some of the rarest and most choice psych and funk gems from around the world. The comp opens and closes with two versions of "Obsession '77" by Atomic Forest, easily one of the most fierce tunes on the record. I've occasionally tried to find more of Atomic Forest, but with out much luck, so it's pretty exciting to see the release of this collection of searing psychedelic funk from various incarnations of Atomic Forest, 1973-77." - Primordial Sounds
