The Aquarian Age was a fleeting late 1960s English psychedelic pop group. Their short career reflected the colourful, experimental spirit of the Swinging London era, even though they left behind just one single. By 1967, Twink was already a key figure in the British underground music movement. He had played with The Fairies and The In-Crowd (who evolved into Tomorrow, one of London’s first true psychedelic bands alongside Pink Floyd). Tomorrow built a reputation for flamboyant performances and kaleidoscopic soundscapes, with Twink’s energetic drumming a standout feature. During this period, Twink and Tomorrow bandmate John “Junior” Wood teamed up with Ken Postell - an American guitarist living in London - to form The Aquarian Age. The name tapped into the countercultural fascination with astrology and the “dawning of the Age of Aquarius.” The Aquarian Age recorded just one single for Parlophone Records in 1968, “10,000 Words in a Cardboard Box” b/w (backed with) “Good Wizard Meets Naughty Wizard”. “10,000 Words in a Cardboard Box” is a dreamy, whimsical slice of British psych-pop, brimming with surreal lyrics, phased guitars, and a gentle, drifting melody. “Good Wizard Meets Naughty Wizard” is an even more playful, childlike piece, full of fantastical imagery. Both tracks bore the hallmarks of the era’s studio experimentation and have since become cult favorites among collectors of UK psychedelia. The Aquarian Age project dissolved almost as soon as it began. Twink soon joined The Pretty Things, contributing to their landmark 1968 concept album “S.F. Sorrow”. He later became a founding member of The Pink Fairies and released his cult solo album “Think Pink” in 1970, which carried forward some of The Aquarian Age’s whimsical psychedelic spirit. Ken Postell faded from the spotlight, and little is documented about his later career, adding to the mystique of the duo. Although The Aquarian Age released only one 45 RPM single, their music captured a moment in time when the British scene was exploding with kaleidoscopic creativity. Their lone release, once obscure, is now sought after by psychedelic collectors and appears on reissue compilations of UK 1960s underground music. The group’s brief existence is a reminder that even the smallest sparks in the psychedelic era could leave a lasting glow in music history.
