Description
Colours - Colours CD. The liner-notes from this, the band's first album tell us that they have the crystalline sharpness of the Beatles before they turned acid', and what's more, it's quite true; an excellent pop-psych album, first released on DOT in 1968; the first track, 'Bad Day At Black Rock, Baby', must be reckoned among the very best attempts at an orchestrated psych sound, with the band easily switching from key to key and featuring many disturbing time-changes; its charms are many and varied, with songs like the sitar drone 'Rather Be Me', and the commune style song 'Brother Lou's Love Colony', later covered by Moon, and the eerie 'Cataleptic'. An underestimated LP, until now, but not anymore. (m-/m-)
