I don't know most of that stuff, but this is the first time I've ever seen the word "Freakrock" ...

FRESHWATER - SATAN'S WOMAN was an appalling "ode" to the Manson murders, released very soon after the events. I used to have the single.

It would be interesting to hear this comp at least once, if only for the history lesson. I'll wait for the free download.

Is it an ode or is it anything like the awesome country-ditty California Hippe Murders by Red River Dave?

I've started seeing it a couple years ago in Shindig mag. It's a mix of hard rock/(proto or not)glam/psych and unfortunately sometimes Prog acts from the late 60s to the mid 70s.
