For 1969, this was really promising and surprisingly progressive. The tracks are pretty short, with a total time of nearly 30 minutes for 10 tracks. An omnipresent shiny electric church organ gives a strong & pleasant psychedelic style to the music. The drums, played by a woman, are definitely elaborated and well played. The bottom bass is not timid at all. The omnipresent electric guitar does not take too much room. Every track has something really catchy: that's why it is a very pleasant album to fully listen. The very good lead & backing vocals, shared between a man & a woman, are often quite intimate. On the last track "Day of wrath", Bill "Casey" Cosby saturated the intro with a VERY loud & vibrant church organ: impressive, especially when played loud. It is a very good album of the flower power era, not really a party album but definitely not depressing at all.
