Title: Essential listening for rock musicians and connoisseurs
Review: I have long believed that anyone who aspires to be a rock musician, or anyone who wishes to understand its evolution as an art form, needs to spend time listening to the catalog of artists who have influenced and shaped it. This is true for any art form: the dramatist needs to know Sophocles and Shakespeare, the poet Shelley and Keats; the filmmaker Hitchcock and Kubrick, etc. etc.To that end, this record is essential listening because of the creative and experimental ideas employed in it and because of the influence it had on the art form. No artist from the sixties outside of the Beatles and Bob Dylan had more of an impact on rock music than V.U., and this album serves as a perfect entree of their creative sensibilities and musical ideas. Supremely recommended to anyone who considers himself or herself a fan of rock music.
