TOMORROW featuring KEITH WEST
STEVE HOWE, TWINK (JOHN ALDER), KEITH WEST, JOHN WOOD
plus MARK P. WIRTZ and KEN LAWRENCE
In the early days of British psychedelia, three bands were consistently cited as first-generation figureheads of the London-based underground sound: Pink Floyd, the Soft Machine, and Tomorrow. Tomorrow was one of the leading psychedelic bands of the era. West, Howe and Wood had all earlier played with the In Crowd, a mid-sixties R&B group who released three singles, one of which, That's How Strong My Love Is, reached No 48 in May 1965. They changed their name to Tomorrow at the dawning of the psychedelic era in 1967. This group failed to survive the psychedelic era, but Howe went on to form Bodast and later to play with Yes. Twink, meanwhile joined Aquarian Age and then The Pretty Things and Pink Fairies.

Tomorrow's sole album was a solid effort, with quite a few first-rate tracks. "My White Bicycle" was one of the first songs to prominently feature backward guitar phasing, "Real Life Permanent Dream" has engaging English harmonies and sitar riffs, "Revolution" is an infectious hippie anthem, and "Now Your Time Has Come" features intricate riffing from Steve Howe. "Hallucinations," with its irresistible melody, gentle harmonies, and affectingly trippy lyrics, was perhaps their best track. The more self-conscious English whimsy -- populated by jolly little dwarfs, Auntie Mary's dress shop, colonels, and the like -- is less successful, although the band's craftsmanship is strong enough to avoid embarassment...(AllMusic)
