The natural sounds I was referring are sounds like in Peace Three, Wendy Carlos - Sonic Seasonings, or the human sounding voice in Tonto's Expanding Head Band's - Riversong, reversed human voice recordings, etc..not popular. But for some reason, causing cacophony with a Moog in an otherwise successful contemporary pop tune...the bees knees. B&K and Les Paul are similar in a way. Like Les Paul, B&K [to a lesser degree] got people interested in new methods of making music. Their music confused their audience [people actually tried to play How High The Moon not knowing it was 4 guitar tracks overdubbed onto each other.]They both explained their method in detail, and now nobody listens to either one. All I can say for sure is that B&K's music is far more listenable than most of what I've heard made with the RCA Mark II Sound Synthesizer. @Bendan oops! overlooked!

Stacy Thu, 19 Mar 2009 19:56:21 +0000 http://therisingstorm.net/the-byrds-notorious-byrd-brothers/#comment-46820 I know I am nearly 2 years late on my comment (I just discovered your site a couple weeks ago - lots of catching up) but this is a transitional record, albeit with some good stuff on it. Production-wise I believe it to be original and, dare I say, daring when taken in context of its release. Song-wise it is lacking and cannot be fairly compared to records like their debut or SOTR. It is better than Byrdmaniax though!

Whether they influenced any other bands or not doesn't matter. Every band is influenced by other bands or artists. The best of the Byrds is still heard today. The rest should stay where it belongs, in the 60s. The Byrds did some marginally interesting songs that weren’t Dylan covers. Whether they influenced any other bands or not doesn’t matter.

The songwriting is good. "Moog Raga" is good. I believe Sweetheart of The Rodeo to be a superior effort.</p> Without production efforts from those aforementioned fellars (Beaver, Usher), I don’t think this would have been considered a whole lot different from previous efforts.

They were influential then and still now. That first album alone is revolutionary and considered one of the best ever!
