LADY GREENGRASS / LOVE OF MINE (THE ONES: PRE-TANGERINE DREAM)

As it was said, these two singles have nothing in common with TD's traditional & original synth based soundscapes and psych-kraut jams. However in these early years we can detect a certain ability to associate a standard psych pop rock with fuzzed/freak out guitars. It also contains vocals in a discreet stoned rock mood. The band rapidly reaches to a professional statue with much achieved compositions (despite of the use of conventional schemes of 60's beat music). "Lady Greengrass" is a powerful, dynamic rocking excursion with excellent lyrics and short guitar solo experimentations. "Love of Mine" is closed to 60's songs from the famous "The Animals", including a nice groove and Hammond organs. Not for TD usual fans but highly recommended for fans of British psych pop acts.
