AGGREGATION-Mind Odyssey- Rare Vintage OOP RI of great and intense concept Psych recording. Here is an edited Acid Archives review of the LP_"Unusual and atmospheric early loungey psychrock based on an acid trip/amusement park concept from classically trained band who held a residency at Disneyland! The band knew precisely how to construct music for a "ride", because they had been playing such music at the most famous amusement park in the world, and they had the musical pedigree to make it original and interesting. They also found a lyricist who knew how to draw the lines between Disneyland and the LSD trip, and -- perhaps best of all -- the adult, non-rock nature of the music and the melodramatic vocals projects exactly the right Los Angeles entertainment subtext. Instead of becoming cheesy orchestrated pop, it becomes genuinely psychedelic, in the same way that crooner-inspired underground classics such as Damon and D R Hooker become genuinely psychedelic. Ever since Hermann Hesse suggested back in 1927 that the cost for one admission is your mind, metaphors of magic theaters, carnivals and fun fairs have been popular among those wanting to illustrate altered states of mind. Certainly one of the more remarkable uses of the "funhouse" as a metaphor for exploration of cerebral frontiers can be found on "Mind Odyssey". This is a completely realized concept LP that uses a visit to an amusement park as a metaphor for an inner, ostensibly psychedelicized, journey. Eerie keyboard sounds and effects recur throughout the Aggregation LP, recalling the classic 1950s soundtrack to "Forbidden Planet", and reminding us that not only are we on acid at Disneyland, but inside the "Tomorrowland" section -- the future. Much like what dreams of the future were back in the mid-20th century, the atmosphere is cerebral and refined, yet an eerie sorrow hangs from above. The most remarkable aspect of "Mind Odyssey" is that its' surface is deceptively similar to any number of cheesy concept LPs that appeared in the wake of "Sgt Pepper", yet if you stick around it will open up to reveal layers of elaborate composition and internal logic that surpass all those Beatles imitations, and indeed Sgt Pepper himself. Formally trained and mature enough to understand the use of irony and intermusical references, Aggregation uncover a terrific analogy for a psychedelic experience in Disney's "Tomorrowland", and the way they proceed to deliver it makes "Mind Odyssey" one of the best albums from 1969. I bet old Herman Hesse would have liked it too." EX/EX One sticker on front cover, light corner wear ..Hard to find!! No reserve
