When the LP hit the racks in the early summer of 1969, Deadheads were greeted by some
of the freshest and most innovative sounds to develop from the thriving Bay Area music scene.
The disc includes seminal psychedelic rockers such as "St. Stephen," "China Cat Sunflower,"
and "Cosmic Charlie," as well as hints of the acoustic direction their music would take
on the Baroque-influenced "Mountains of the Moon" and "Rosemary." The folky "Dupree's Diamond Blues"
-- which itself was loosely based on the traditional "Betty & Dupree" -- would likewise foreshadow
the sound of their next two studio long-players, Workingman's Dead (1969) and American Beauty (1970).
The too-trippy-for-its-own-good "What's Become of the Baby" is buried beneath layers of over-indulgence.
This is unfortunate, as Hunter's surreal lyrics and Garcia's understated vocals languish beneath
the soupy sonics. In 1972, Aoxomoxoa was overhauled, and the original mix -- which includes
several significant differences such as an a cappella vocal tag at the tail end
of "Doin' That Rag" -- has yet to be reissued in any form...(AllMusic)
