...whats happening with this LP wax is intellectual heads make a hippie pop/rock outing thats totally successful which on paper is astonishing in itself but once heard it all becomes clear that it wouldn't be anything else...these cats maybe working in the more rarefied atmosphere of' the avant garde but its not the conscious conceivement of studious boffs, theres a playfulness that marks it out as different from the dry analytical works that were prevalent back in the day(the use of the word prevalent must be taken as relative to the times as well as the amount of ears and minds that're going to make any attempt at following such practice)...there is no need for layabouts to reach for a slide rule and graph paper, there is no arithmetic to be solved through tricky manipulation of logarithm, this is avant-rock of a decidedly giving nature...these're tunes with a commercial bent, though of course the general citizens would ignore it, played with some electrical instruments of the then avant kind,(oscillators/ring modulator being just two to mention) and the lyrics deal with society and all that word may involve and invoke that repay a few spins...only a few cats have tried this style of poprock and this is most likely the best due to the fact that it seemed normal to them at the time, nothing is forced to make anything fit or be consciously weird to attract hippie cred(market niche?) which these cats could care less about...
...oscillate...
