One of the few major works of its era that saw the dark clouds looming on the cultural horizon.This is dark music born of drug use and the implications of idealism. Its Spanish guitar flourishes, its beautiful ethereal string sections strike emotion, its epic psych rock guitar freak outs. It is music for psychedelic matadors. One of the finest and most haunting albums to come out of the Summer of Love.
