Genre: Prog rock, jazz fusion
Places I remember: Record Fair
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Bhagavad-Gita (some excellent electric guitar lifts this one)
Gear costume: You're Not That Body (in a jazz funk style)
Active compensatory factors: I've noticed this one in sale bins in a variety of places. I picked up a copy cheaply because George Harrison, among others, is thanked on the sleeve and a couple of song titles - Oh Govinda, and Bhagavad-Gita indicate a fellowship to Radha Krishna Temple who I've reviewed previously. Unfortunately, it's nowhere as good as that album, produced by George Harrison on Apple Records.

Golden Avatar is basically Michael Cassidy, an American Hare Krishna devotee assisted by a bunch of other musicians. He wrote all the songs, plays guitar and sings.
If you squint your eyes, the music is kinda prog jazz fusion, and pleasant enough. Cassidy's vocal style is seventies soft rock, so also pleasant enough. The lyrics are all earnest, overblown ones, centred on Hare Krishna concerns.
Where do they all belong? This is all definitely an acquired taste and a real one-off. Probably destined for the op shop.
