This was their debut album and it's very cool daddio. There is tons to admire about their sound - like the multi-layered vocals, and the exotic instrumentation - flutes, organ, harpsichord, vibraphone, bongos are all interspersed with regular guitar, bass and drums.
The whole album needs to be enjoyed in one sitting for maximum impact. It all makes sense without any help from other substances, as it builds towards the last two songs - the title track and the groovilicious Unwind with the Clock.
Where do they all belong? In an interesting side note - the band's lead guitarist - Ed King, would eventually turn up in Lynyrd Skynyrd.
