... 60's that they're almost like a guilty pleasure, and actually work well in an unusual way due to their obscurity.
The powerful psychedelic sound continues into the album-only tracks, such as "Calm Like You", which is a slower song, where the orchestral backing music plays less of an important role. The song sounds similar to many of The Rascal's songs, and is successful in its own right.
However, whilst this formula may work well for the singles and a few songs after, it soon tires as you reach the middl...more
