Title: great uk style psyche pop ala early floyd
Review: Ive been recently hunting down all the long lost 60s psyche albums from both sides of the ocean and stumbled upon this. Kaleidoscope's debut is heavily debted to Syd Barrett in both lyrical and musical sense but in many ways theres a more orchestrated approach here that makes this stand on its own rather well. Sometimes theres a hint of very early Bee Gees and the Byrds. Bonus tracks and great liner notes fill this cardboard flipcase remaster- and if youre a fan of any summer of love or LSD fueled recording this is a must own- out of the original tracks almost all are great- nice vocal harmonies quirky story telling and interesting arrangements. Ofcourse it has all the trappings of psychedelia- the effected vocals- chimy organs and guitars and sound effects but again the songs are memorable. In fact i would put this in my top ten of psyche recordings along with piper-sf sorrow-pet sounds-sgt peppers- forever changes and others.
Is the review positive or negative?
