“At Zero” is one of the coolest psychedelic 60s songs of our day. Of psychedelic bands, The Electric Marmalade has had several L.A. hits under the names The Wail and The Electric Marmalade. This song is a true classic as only a true psychedelic band could record. Listen to the guitar feedback for a solo. It rocks.

The Wail originally had a hit with this song under the direction of producer Earle Mankey who recorded some of the tracks for this version of “At Zero,” (including the coolest psychedelic 60s solo you’ve ever heard. Earle Mankey did a great job.

This new version was recorded in Los Angeles as The Electric Marmalade is an L.A. band. This song received good airplay on “Rodney on the ROQ” in 1985.

KROQ 106.7. Rodney Bingenhiemer always loved The Wail and The Electric Marmalade. And played “At Zero” a lot. One of their real psychedelic songs. You’ll find a link below:

Here are the words:

At Zero

I rise in flames during the day

And then at night I melt away

I fire silver chords that sink into the floor, my hands entwined

As the clock sticks zero

 

The sparks of night make instant day

Blow by my brain like sheets of marmalade and capture every

Cloud that crashes down upon the earth

As the clock strikes zero

 

Strange ideas at zero

Strange footsteps

 

The sun ifs fogged, it starts to rain

I look for reasons for the sudden gray.

A Ferris wheel rolls though the streets in range

It’s clear that as it turns, the seasons change.
