I'd posit that artificiality, tricks and gimmicks and even being ridiculous were the hallmarks of psychedelic music, painting and writing. And when you were flying on acid, the last thing in your head was politics: that was left to the stern-faced anti-war brigade and black power movement. Still, pleased to see my review eliciting some considered comment. It'll be interesting to see what other commenters make of it. Nel frattempo, molte grazie a voi per quella opinione vostra.

I have somewhat different names for these categories: the attempted and predictable psychedelic, the trite, and the ridiculous. I find that the musicianship, while at times verging on the experimental, seems to fall back on tricks and gimmicks. At times, the lyrics seem to say something intriguing or political… but even this seems, somehow, artificial. The musicians would, as you have pointed out, head onto better things. And this album… it's neither animal, vegetable or mineral… Well, everyone, eat some left-over Easter candy, have a soda, and give it a listen… Ciao!
