Better than I Expected

"I often pick up "lost" albums and am sometimes very disappointed by the results -- they should have stayed lost. Not here. This is one fine piece of 60's pyschedelia. Think early Love, Moby Grape, early Floyd or late Zombies, and you get the picture. Strong guitar work, fervent vocals, nice harmonies and song construction -- these guys should have had a longer run. Sound quality of the remastering is fine, too. I have no idea what they are singing about, but that's ok -- that's part of its charm. Well worth getting before it's gone again....."

One of the great forgotten masterpieces of the sixties

"They called it "psychedelic pop", but it was just great music with a twist. Strange changes in rhythm, not the regular arrangements, unusual instruments (harp for instance), but the music was very very good. One of the hidden masterpieces of the sixties. If you like Love's Forever Changes, or Millennium, check this one out. They made two albums (and one more just a couple of years ago, which is nice but not great), and this is definitely their best."

These guys did some deliciously spacy stuff

"My favorite track is A HORN PLAYING ON MY THIN WALL. Regarding the chorale section at the end: that's psychedelia, baby. That's the real thing. My other favorite track is the gothadelic I'LL DRIVE YOU FROM MY MIND. I love the brilliant chord sequence that occurs when the sitar kicks in and the singer's voice gets the distance treatment. But this record isn't nonstop-fab. DUNDERVILLE is a big bore and DIDN'T I is perfectly unlistenable."
