I liked that a lot.. right on. So you will like their next three albums, they´re on the same level as Entertainment. Alan Parsons Project is not my music at all, Kansas is not also my biggest faves, but I like it anyway. You can start from their first album, it´s already really good, but of course Leftoverture is their greatest album. Ok man, as always thanks for the recommendations. Kansas' first album it is then, as soon as I finish with these first 5 family albums here. Yeah I'm a little embarrassed, Kansas is from here and I've never listen to a whole album by them. Gonna remedy that real soon though. But in the meantime... Off to listen to(looks like 'A Song for Me'). See how this one is.

I don´t think you should be embarrassed for not listening Kansas. I don´t think it´s the most important band in the world, although it´s quite good.

Are you really saying 1968 wasn´t a year of experimental albums? That album is not the most pop-one album of that year, but really not also the most experimental. If I had to choose the most experimental album from those times (from the popular music), I think it would be the Red Krayola´s Coconut Hotel. The record company thought then it was so uncommercial that they refused to release it. Band had to record their second album almost new, but also "God Bless the Red Krayola and All Who Sail With It" really isn´t the most pop-orient album. Coconut Hotel got it´s first release in the nineties.

Part of the Load was funky and really good. Loved the violin in Normans. And great guitar jamming in Lives and Ladies. So, a little uneven but all in all another very good album from this band.  You need to start saying which album you are referring to when you post these things.  I've noticed you do that a lot and leaves some of us wondering what the heck you just listened to. Lol.

That's how wacked out the album is(but in a good way). I haven't heard everything but from what I do know it's more experimental. Psych imo was not necessarily experimental but this one was. Ok, no more discussion about it until you actually listen to it. ;)

I am not sure, to whom you´re talking to, but I WAS HEARD IT, before you mentioned whole album. But because of your enthusiasm of it, I listened it again yesterday. To me it sounds quite typical album of 1968, lots of beautiful melodies (really like Dorothy´s voice), of course there are those calliopes´s and ring modulators everybody not used those days. Have to also say it´s very sixties sounding album. What I also know about that album, it wasn´t influental in those days and not been also after that (yeah I know there are today´s reviewer who think it´s something extraordinary, more I think it of today´s phenomena, somebody´s just really love to find those "hidden treasures"). I have never been big Radiohead-fan, but I understand Kid A was in it´s time really going into new direction and really brave album from very popular band (like I think for example Sgt. Pepper was in it´s time). Have to say I don´t understand your comparison about United States album to that.
