"Unique" would be one way to describe this set. "Experimental" would be another. This album is unusual right from the start. For one thing, it's a two-record set, but the first record is a four-track 7 inch 33-rpm record that comprises sides one and two here. The disc continues to a 12 inch record for sides three and four. The strangeness doesn't end there, though.

I've included this under the progressive rock heading because of the experimental nature of the music more than anything else. This is often detuned, off-key and dissonant. Yet, it somehow manages to convey a certain pop or mainstream charm at the same time. It's oddly compelling. This is not for people who want their music with a real polished perfection, because you won't find that here. Instead, you get something that's incredibly strange, but also weirdly catchy and entertaining.

Piano opens this cut. The vocals bring in a playful kind of vibe. The tune has a weird twisted tone to it. This is like pop music warped into something bizarre. In that regard it makes me think of something Frank Zappa might have done. It literally gets twisted around and weirded out as it continues. There is definitely a lot of psychedelia built into this thing.

The musical arrangement here is not far removed from mainstream, but the vocals are just far enough off-key to lend a strangeness and unsettling vibe to the piece. The dense arrangement really feels twisted.

The psychedelic, de-tuned vibe on this thing works well. It has a real twisted Zappa meets space rock and lo-fi feeling to it.

Pounding, driving hard rock through much of the track, this also drops back to quite stripped down territory at times. It is a strange, but very intriguing number. There is some definite jazz fusion built into this, but also elements of things like The Grateful Dead. We get some heavy funk, too.
