Translation: Liquid Generation, which consisted of Jeremy Meyer – vocals, John Branin – solo guitar, Bob Blackburn – rhythm guitar, John Conrard – bass and Randy Nash – drums, one of Seattle’s first Neo-Psychedelic bands of the early 80s
Their repertoire consisted of covers of mainly British sixties bands, such as:. the Kinks, them and the Troggs, but also covers of obscure bands like the Remains, the Choir, the Ugly Ducklings, the Gants, and the Chob
the band released in 1984 their first and only single, titled “1/4 to Zen” / “I Love You” while using a 4 and 8 track recorder several songs were recorded.

This is followed by “She’s Mine”, also a brilliant garage rock song in which the rate is very high and the song sounds catchy, and “From Home” follows and the Troggs cover sounds pretty rough and slightly faster than the original. In “Out Of Our Tree” I hear again such excellent uptempo garage rock, where the energy palpable and “This Is the World We Live in” the band plays a fast garage rock song with mild hypnotic progressive rock influences. then bring Liquid Generation “Once Before” played and in it I get a nice-sounding rock song too hear, followed by “I Need You”, which I one of my favorite Kinks songs heard and this version sounds great and is more rugged than the original. the next song is called “Little Girl” and the cover is carried out in fine fashion but I still prefer the original version, although that sounds less violent and this number followed by “Til the End of Time”, which the band continues making uptempo rock music, which contains some fine tempo. I also hear “Nothing,” a great garage rock song with a variety of subtle tempo changes, “Going Out of My Mind”, a fast pretty heavy garage rock song, “I Love You”, a melodic rock song that rapidly played and “Endless Summer” , an infectious slightly psychedelic pop rock song, which influences the music of the Byrds. “Quarter to Zen” by Liquid Generation contains 16 great songs, which the band has carried me back to the 60s and I every lover may 60 music and garage rock, this CD also heartily recommend.
