Seguindo a tradição de bandas como Spacemen 3 e Brian Jonestown Massacre e obviamente as garagens e alucionogenos dos 60´s os escoceses do Frantic Chant mostram aos mestres que seguiram os ensinamentos e vem jogando album atrás de album um melhor do que o outro, Oscillator, The 51st Best Band In Edinburgh e Lighten Up, Francis, são uma esbornia de psicodelia, oras rasgada e acida, ora remetendo diretamente ao BJM e ao mestre Brian Jones, Nick Du Paul, guitarras, Stazy, voz e guitarras, O`Hara, baixo e Col Mac na bateria ou simplesmente Frantic Chant fazem a alegria do TBTCI e de todos os inciados nas druggys sounds, uma daquelas bandas que deve ser chamada de predileta.
E para festejar ainda mais a ode psicodélica do Frantic Chant, nada melhor do que os caras mesmo mandarem o dossiê completo.
