Hi folks! I was the bass player for the original Misunderstood, and decided to make a short posting here. I'd like to thank everyone who has written kindly of our music, and continues to hold it in high esteem. I'd also like to point out that there continues to be a tremendous amount of mis-information about us, some of which is contained in other reviews on this site.
For one thing, "I Unseen" is emphatically NOT simply our version of the Byrds "I Come and Stand at Every Door"! We wrote AND recorded it months before the Byrds ever went into the studio to do their version of the Pete Seeger song (lyrics by Turkish poet Nazim Hikmet)...and we still have the dated acetate to prove it. That may be a small point, but for those of you who are interested in the truth, there it is.
Another bit of truth has to do with the rather free use of our name after the real band collapsed due to a combination of the US draft and incredibly bad management. ANY music with the name The Misunderstood attached that was created after the songs from the London sessions (the ones on "After the Dream Faded") is emphatically NOT The Misunderstood. Rather, it's simply someone's greedy and unethical attempt to capitalize on whatever reputation we were able to establish, and includes, at most, only one band member from the original group. I'm not recommending that you not purchase it; I'm only forewarning you that the music is not of the same style (and many would say, same caliber) as what we created. It's just a name - not the essence.
Those bits of history corrected, I again thank those of you who value our music, and encourage you to purchase and enjoy it...we certainly had a great time writing/playing/recording it. And just so you won't think this is a shameless commercial plug, please know that none of us receive ANY royalties whatsoever from the sales of our CDs. That was taken away from us, just like they tried to take away the dream...but the dream lives on...with those of you who continue to listen, and in our hearts too, as we continue to create new music. Many blessings to you all!!!
P.S. Please excuse me for giving our music a 5-star rating, but I still really like it, even after all these many years....

Nun, nicht nur er ist von der Platte überzeugt, aber lest selbst.
Wow, was ist das den für aufreibende (im Positiven) Musik?
The ORIGINATORS of psychedelic???
Bluesrock, Spuren von Jazzrock, Rock, Psychedelic und satt Beat der 60er wurden von der als Anti War Band gegründeten Formation „The Misunderstood“ zelebriert und vom Label Cherry Red in die digitale Rille gebraten.
Trotz der teilweise holprig gespielten Instrumente, strahlen die Kompositionen Kraft und Wut aus. Hier wird musikalisch Protest angemeldet und dass sie es ehrlich meinten, spürt der Hörer sofort. Extrem verzerrte Riffs, experimentelles Schlagzeugspiel, quer durch den Hörraum fliegende Sounds und ein solider Grunddrive sind Hauptmerkmale ihrer Musik.
Für mich einmal mehr eine Art Musik die es zu erhören gilt.
Mein Dank geht an
