How Perception Can Change Over Forty Years !

A re-issue of the first two albums by Third Ear Band, Alchemy and Elements. Rather wonderful. I remember on maybe half a dozen occasions in 1968 / 69 seeing Third Ear Band as the opening act on a lazy sunny afternoon at a free concert or festival and treating them as a bit of a benign joke. But these discs stand up extremely well and in fact sound better with age. Unclassifiable free improv with world and early music elements blended in. So what if there is no guitar hero ! Joyful and deeply serious at the same time.
