A must listen IMHO! You will be yet again astonished at the great music from this period! Amazing album! Tasty
arrangements, fresh, alive ideas and spirit. From the first notes you can tell the muse was with
them. A true gem. Vocals are very good with excellent voices. Clean and wonderful sound. The craftsmanship gleams with polish. The vocals have one foot in 60s folk but they stretch the tunes in exciting ways and have such a great grooves and emotions. Full of pleasant and very musical surprises. Highly listenable. I am ever astonished at how much great music was being made during the 60's and 70's.From practically all corners of the Earth. No doubt the wars and the advent of electronic media and instruments, radio, etc. were the seeds that sprouted that generation. A new world, a new frontier. One we are still exploring. Often these days you hear bands trying to recreate these earlier styles. Ugh. Faux. I don't mind taking anything as a starting point but if you are always conscious of "coloring within the lines", well, it's nothing but painting by numbers, is it? This album is the real deal and has twists and turns that delight. Highly recommended!
