For a time in the mid- to late '60s, it seemed as though Boston might become
the East Coast's answer to San Francisco -- it never happened, but if it had,
Earth Opera had as good a shot as any of being the East Coast answer to the Grateful Dead

The stylistic explorations pursued by the Beatles in 1966-1967, and the commercial
success the group continued to enjoy, inspired other popular musicians to be
similarly ambitious and persuaded record companies to take chances on more
daring music. Earth Opera is a good example. The Boston-based group's self-titled
debut LP featured a heady mixture of pop, rock, folk, jazz, and classical elements
in involved arrangements played on such unusual instruments as mandocello
and harpsichord. Less a rock band than a highly eclectic chamber orchestra,
Earth Opera played in an arty style that suited singer/songwriter/guitarist
Peter Rowan's songs, with their complicated structures & highly poetic lyrics...(AllMusic)
