SCARCE 1970 ORIGINAL of an obscure ACID ARCHIVES highlighted "psych" collectible .
"Sidewalks Talking" finds a fantastic mixture of all kinds of influences: popsike tunes ala Left Banke, introspective mellow psych cuts with enchanting mystical feel ala Common People/Gandalf,ethereal folk moves ala Ithaca, kaleidoscoptic psych effects ala Smoke(the US band), very slight proto-progressive evolvments ala Procol Harum,some nice classical touches ala Moody Blues, flower/power atmosphere ala Strawberry Alarm Clock,trance-like vocals, beautilful orchestrations, spacey flute parts, scattered fuzz outbursts…
The sole album, "SIDEWALKS TALKING" by this Chicago based duo is a treasure trove of strong melodies and dreamy vocal harmonies, which appeared in 1970 on the Ovation label. Expect a gorgeous, ethereal blend of psychedelic folk and offbeat pop supported by an odd assortment of instruments including flute, bells and fuzz guitar. ‘Sidewalk Talking’ is sure to appeal to all fans of overlooked acid folk and popsike.No wonder it has been sampled by DJ Shadow ...This is a perfectly produced and arranged popsike concept, an ode to the free mind structured by intelligent reconsiderations. It is an album that grows in depth with each listen. The songs are working on a different, almost meditative level, at times directing towards awareness in advance of a conscious dream state, with gateways of instrumentals like paths that direct this way, with a fundament of strummed guitar and flute improvisations, and lots of arrangements. “Hard Headed Women” is one of the most ambitious and longest tracks, starting with a more rockier singing, and with parts of almost classical & contemporary classical arrangements and without percussion, and another part with drums and kettle drums, while turning this again into something (prog)rockier, on “Home?”, in a progressive and ever changing way. This is followed by another flute part which sounds like a baroque improvisation, which is a Bach composition returning to a classical foundation. “Digress” is more up tempo and rockier as well, is almost avant-garde with its lyrics, like an anti-intellectual-chitchat song, powerful again, just like an ode to real expressions, evolving over a sound collage of thunder and street noises to a somewhat complex structured laid back song. The whole album is mixed like a perfect musical story with lots of facets hanging together on many levels from a variety of experiences.
