This was definitely an interesting album to listen to. Don't remember a whole lot from it though, apart from liking it to a degree. Must relisten to it soon.

I highly recommend both this and their follow-up, Contact. They were definitely ahead of their time, but the material holds up on its own without resorting to any arguments about history or influence. I feel like this album actually starts kind of weak, but they really get into a groove by the second half.

Great psychedelic early electronic stuff. Agree with the assessment that they were ahead of their time, just a really forward thinking, brilliant band.

One of my all time favorites. It live on the fringe of my top 100, occasionally rotating onto my chart (along with Contact).
A truly psychedelic experience. One of, if not the most disorienting albums of the 60s

Yes, it's a fucking electronic album from 68.

There are electronic records before 1968.
