The Aggregation - Mind Odyssey (1968)

Unusual and atmospheric early artrock/psych item 

based on an acid trip amusement park concept from 

classically trained band who held a residency at 

Disneyland! Presence of sax has annoyed some but it's 

tasteful and adds to the mysterioso vibe, as do the 

slightly crooneresque vocals and hints of sacred 

classical music. This LP could be seen as a precursor 

to those extraordinary 1970s private press artefacts, 

and reveals its classiness and coherence over time. 

1920s Charleston-style track may turn some off, the 

rest is great. Worth investigating for anyone - 

better than Hunger, as an example. The LP was also 

released on cassette by Ampex. [PL]
