Two new reviews about TEB's box "Mosaics" are available on the Web: one is from the Italian magazine INDIEeye at https://www.indie-eye.it/recensore/coverstory/third-ear-band-mosaics-the-albums-1969-1979-la-recensione-e-lunboxing-del-cofanetto-cherry-red.htm with this pretty promo video:
the other one is from the English Velvet Thunder Webzine at https://www.velvetthunder.co.uk/third-ear-band-mosaics-the-albums-1969-1972-esoteric-cherry-red/ where Steve Pilkington writes with a funny register things like this:
"The origins of what would become the Third Ear Band began in 1966, with an outfit going by the bizarre yet tremendous name of The Giant Sun Trolley. Their aim was, effectively, to produce sounds that had never been heard before, at least under the guise of ‘music’. An electric and eclectic ensemble, to give you an idea of what this lot sprang from, one of their compositions was called Eternity In D, a piece designed exclusively to allow the band to play the same note for as long as possible. This was often used as a means to clear a venue of stragglers in the early hours, as The Trolley were sent on to play until the place was empty and the remaining audience had fled. This often took very little time. However, there were exceptions, as the enormously entertaining booklet with this collection informs us that one night they went on at 3am, and proceeded to play two notes until seven. That’s four hours of two notes. However, by 7am on this occasion a number of audience members were still there. Asleep. They would periodically wake up, hear the same two notes, and drift off again. That’s a pretty unsuccessful way to clear a club, but not unrelated to what would become the Third Ear Band."
