Yet another important stoner rock album that was apparently lost to memory (and not much memory at that, this being stoner rock) when its original mother label, the venerable Man’s Ruin, went kaput in the late ’90s, Acid King’s sophomore effort from 1999, Busse Woods, was finally resurrected five years later by the helpful folks at Detroit’s Small Stone Records. What’s more, they also saw fit to commemorate the happy occasion by adding a couple of bonus tracks: namely, a pair of suitably lethargic covers of Motörhead’s originally adrenalin-fueled, eponymous classic and Bachman-Turner Overdrive’s “Not Fragile.” As for Busse Woods’ original, magnificently cumbersome six tracks, these were completely remastered for a richer and deeper breadth of textures — the better to echo around the listener’s skull. – Eduardo Rivadavia
