"Klattu" were a Canadian prog trio emerging out of Toronto, Canada in 1973 and later disbanding in 1982. This band takes major influence from The Beatles, ELO and others. I actually have two vinyl copies of this debut album and plan to trade out one for Klattu's second album "Hope". The main seller for this album was the 7 minute cover of The Carpenters "Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft". A good bit of the melodies were so similar to the Beatles some even suspected it of being an undercover Beatles reunion, me personally I just think its major influence. There are Sgt Pepper vibes in songs like "California Jam" and more rocky approaches like "Anus of Uranus" Overall 3.5 but I'll round it up to 4 because it was a good first effort for the group.
