Clockwork is an album that will undoubtedly remain obscure and rise and rise in value when more people hear what is in these grooves. The band, probably from the American westcoast, number 7 members, but there is no horn rock or soft commercial trite pop here. This album may be the record that is the last rural heavy psych into rural melodic intense rock/prog crossover to come out before the 60s were more than just a memory. The sound is killer throughout, with lots of heavy wah-wah/fuzz guitar blasts, strong melodramatic harmonies and a lead voice that are very similar to Wizards From Kansas, and 3 clever rearrangements of cover tunes including a storming heavy psych version of "Hazy Shade Of Winter." The few tracks that head off into a mellow acid CSNY vibe are done tastefully and when the harpsichord comes to the fore reminiscent of The Mandrake Memorial. With every track at least really good and a bit over half of this totally killer this album lives up to the amazing creepy die cut sleeve.This will be one PRIVATE HIPPIE LP that climbs up fast.. For progressive fans who also want hooks and melody, and for psych heads who want a late flash of the westcoast vibe this is essential.
