Unreleased US Acid-Folk-Rock-Psych 1968
Impressive late 60s art-rock with a strong British slant, holding a middle ground between the psychedelic '67 Pepper field and the cerebral excursions of the early prog era. Completely realized arrangements and recordings stand head and shoulders above most unreleased 1968 stuff you run across these days; if released at the time it would have been a classic. Atmospheric, understated vocals, wide-ranging use of keyboard, and excellent jazzy percussion all create a delightful trip for pursuers of sophisticated late 60s sounds. Not that far removed from classic high IQ American albums such as the second Fallen Angels or Freeborne, with a bit of Lothar & the Hand People college student avantgardism sprinkled on top. The second half of side 1 is particularly good, with a couple of psychedelic tracks that are truly outstanding. The refined atmosphere may be offputting for those in search of garage or hardrock type experiences, but a playful 60s mood and strong songwriting keeps the dread UK prog-rock unicorns at bay.
