TRANSMISSION FROM SOGMORE'S GARDEN

On their second album, Magic Bus continue their style of psychedelic-oriented, Canterbury-influenced music, once again producing material reminiscent of the angle that Land of Grey and Pink-era Caravan or Khan produced in the early 1970s. This time around, a bit more West Coast hippy folk rock influence is brought into the mix, with the album opener Sunflower in particular being rooted in that style, which makes this a bit more a mixed bag of an album. This isn't quite the amazing eye-opener that the band's debut was, but it's an interesting consolidation on the foundations laid there and I remain interested in seeing where the Magic Bus takes us next.
