SAGITTARIUS
Sagittarius were a studio group created by producer, Gary Usher (who had earlier produced albums
by The Byrds, Gene Clarke, Chad & Jeremy, The Millennium and The Peanut Butter Conspiracy).
Curt Boettcher helped with the arrangements and Terry Melcher was also involved in the projects.
Both albums were of particular interest for their high degree of orchestration and polish.
In this respect, they were ahead of their times.....

Though really a studio project instead of a real group, Sagittarius' Present Tense has been whispered about
constantly since its release in 1968. It began as a solo outlet for producer Gary Usher when he wasn't making
stunning LPs by the Byrds, Simon & Garfunkel, ex-Byrds leader Gene Clark, and the Beach Boys.
In fact, its totally enthralling song, the initial 1967 single, "My World Fell Down" -- which went to number 70
in the charts -- is largely sought after by the most fanatical of Pet Sounds-era Beach Boys followers,
since it not only replicates that unique and incomparable production value, but benefits greatly from
a lead vocal by Glen Campbell. Present Tense serves up a gentle brew of folkish-rock,
Baroque pop (lots of woodwinds, strings, etc.), and Summer of Love atmosphere...(AllMusic)
