Another day, another lifetime...


The David lp... considered by some psychedelic collectors to be a "holy grail," but unlike some records that are just rare as hell and sought after because of that, this one is actually worthy of the praise. This album differed from the usual psychedlia of the late 60's, in that it didn't focus only on the fuzz facotr but on the actual structure and notes. beautiful at times, but still retaining a rough edge, this album really is worthy of the stature it has gained. influential as hell on most of the pop crowd (elephant 6 bands love this shit), and cited by today's modern psych crowds as a classic lp you never heard. for fans of the aforementioned elephant 6 crowd, aphrodite's child (hell, vangelis in general), bands like Love and Quicksilver Messenger Service, hell even the Beatles... ugh.

heavy (at times, though not really how you might think of heavy), poppy, orchestral, and just plain rockin', this album is a genre bending destroyer of worlds and you owe it to yourself to check it out.
