I'm tempted to start rocking a 1968 Mike Pinder look myself- pencil 'tache, paisley cravat, sideburns, what's not to love?


Haha! If I had any hair left I'd be tempted to go for that too!

In Search of the Lost Chord is their best album for me. House of Four Doors and the spooky Legend of A Mind with the 'Timothy Leary's dead' refrain. What was that all about? After that they do get increasingly middle of the road, but all that run up to and including Seventh Sojourn can be enjoyed muchly in the right frame of mind. Actually I think much of the acid effect is embracing the uncoolness- that point where cool and uncool meet in the great cosmic circle and profound genius is the same thing as a ridiculous joke which is like the meaning of the universe man... maybe the Moodies knew...


I seem to remember reading somewhere that once they started on the acid, they were on a mission to spread the word through their music, in a very serious and applied fashion. I think it is this focused attention to the trip which comes vibing through.
