Tracklist
A1 Somebody's Peepin A2 I Can See It A3 I'd Go Anywhere A4 Danny's Song A5 Wheels Of Fortune B1 I See You're Looking Fine B2 What's Wrong With That B3 Someone Just Passed By B4 Her Darkness In December (Drone Song) B5 Lazy Livin' Some serious classics on here. "Somebody's Peepin" is possibly the best cut, with incredible vocal harmonies and a trippy Sgt. Peppers sound, including some kind of delicate plucked string sounds subject to some kind studio tricks. "I Can See It" is possibly even better though, with a slight 13th Floor Elevators flavor in the slightly rickety vocals, which are pretty smooth and clear overall, the slight folk and acid touches, etc. "Wheels of Fortune" is the most distinctive and adventurous cut on the album, a magical, mellow, trippy number with yet more brilliant vocals, lots of backwards tape effects, some sitar buried inside incredible manipulated textures. Surely influenced by the Beatles' psychedelic sound. Noteworthy for a complete absence of drumkit, the track is built almost entirely around unusual manipulated sounds and lovely, simple vocals. These three cuts are flat-out, no-brainer classics of late 60s rock!"Someone Just Passed By" is a beautiful gentle tune with pretty much just acoustic guitar and vocals. A major highlight of the album and a borderline classic! I suppose it's along the lines of a Cat Stevens ballad or the like. By far the most important thing about this album is that the vocals are consistently incredible, way above average. "Her Darkness in December" is the longest cut at 6 minutes, stretching out a little for some spacy and trippy light psych jamming of the studio-manipulated guitar variety. With yet more incredible vocal melodies and harmonies, it's a borderline classic.
"I'd Go Anywhere" is comparable to a slightly above average song by The Kinks from the 1966-68 period for lack of a more precise reference, but with a more American blues rock flavor.
"Danny's Song" is a charming semi-instrumental with a repeating vocal motif but no actual lyrics. "I See You're Looking Fine" is light, trippy psych pop at its near-best. "What's Wrong With That" is an upbeat, slightly wacky number that seems to have some kazoo in the mix; it's a strong tune, and like most tracks on the album it's very similar to lots of music from the same time period, but again I have a hard time nailing the best references because I've played this album enough that it starts to only remind me of itself. At a mere 81 seconds, "Lazy Livin'" is a wonderful miniature that closes out the album with trippy guitar and vocals. These five tracks are strong and enjoyable, making the album an extremely compelling through-listen generously sprinkled with classics and nothing approaching a weak moment.
