Mostly instrumental, you could call it Spirit's Jazz Album. A lot of the tracks are fairly undeveloped background music, as befits a soundtrack album from the sixties. The bonus track demo of Aren't You Glad (a great somg from their 2nd album: The Family That Plays Together) is not worth purchasing this for. In the end it makes an ineresting, pleasant, and even revealing listen (Randy California can really go jazzy, John Locke shines, Mark Andes reveals more of his talent, except for some slightly intrusive maracas Jay Ferguson is more or less invisible, Ed Cassidy is suprisingly weak in spots, ... and who is playing the vibes? ...hmmm .. not bad), but is really only of interest to Spirit completists .................
This is a great album. Very moody and experimental. They are relaxed in their approach, and it shows. No concise pop tunes here, just stretching out and showing what they're all about. In other words, it feels like the very essence of Spirit. I like it almost better than their first album, which has always been my favorite. If you care about Spirit's music, you need to hear this. Mostly instrumental, with jazzy elements. And a fabulous demo of "Aren't You Glad" at the end. I'm only sorry I never got to hear it sooner.
