It's make-up is just so strange. Roky Eriksson's eccentric, urgent vocal delivery is at times akin to that of a manic preacher, I've no idea what he's singing about but I do not at any point doubt his conviction especially on tracks like Slip Inside This House and Earthquake. The guy had an influence on Michael Stipe, an influence very apparent on "You're Gonna Miss Me" from the first Elevators record. The rudimentary equipment makes for some lo-fi recording which leaves some elements of the performance to the imagination, there are glimpses of brilliance in the harmonies and songwriting and your mind is left to fill in the gaps. Even with its harsh sound, Easter Everywhere is relatively easy on the ears. The album is bookended by two lengthier cuts, Slip Inside This House and Postures, which illustrate the growing interests in drugs, an interest tying in with 'jug player' Tommy Hall's advocation of LSD as a drug offering an elevated (like the band name heheh) state of human consciousness. Following the opening track are Slide Machine and She Lives(In a Time of Her Own) which are arguably the most similar to anything on Psychedelic Sounds of. Nobody to Love sounds like The Byrds if a crazed man with a musical jug was disrupting a recording but they weren't allowed to stop recording because they were on their last bit of tape so they just let jug guy do his thing. The rendition of It's All Over Now, Baby Blue is absolutely stunning. The guitars and steady drumming wouldn't sound out of place on a 'Heart Beating As One' era Yo la Tengo track. This show of restraint here and on 'Dust' is what was missing from the debut for me, there wasn't really enough dynamic or stylistic variation. The interplay between the drums and guitar on the verses of Earthquake is another highlight, in particular the overdriven, open chord guitar strum and drum fill combo just as the other instruments kick in, awww ye. The really brief guitar lick that appears twice in quick succession somewhere after the 1:30 mark is always satisfying and leaves me wanting more. 'Dust' is a testament to Roky's fantastic songwriting, comprised primarily of an acoustic rhythm guitar and concealing some real emotional weight. There's also a part where some precisely played bass guitar becomes more prominent for a moment, maybe a technical error that the levels fluctuate but I always thought that was cool. The verses to 'Levitation' are pretty ordinary but that chorus has the greatest hook on the album. Immensely catchy. I Had to Tell You is another acoustic one, with some nice folk harmonies and a melodica let loose in the background for the first half before it's moment in the bridge, on the stereo version it dances around between channels throughout the track. Postures is unlike any other song I've heard from this era. It's got a serious groove and some soulful, funky guitar. There's an almost motown vibe to a few of the tracks, made most explicit on this track. There's also some fantastic work from the rhythm section. I think some of the so called 'lost gems' of the psychedelic era are bullshit really, but I love this record. The jug is eternal, the jug is forever."  [+]  Reply

When I compared the first half of Donovan’s double LP as being some of the best folk rock EVER released. As good as The Byrd’s Mr. Tamborine Man. As good as Love’s Forever Changes. I meant it. I really did. I LOVE those ten songs with all my heart. But, you know what? The second half is even better! It’s just completely different. Gone are the catchy fun sing-a-long pop songs. Instead Donovan delves into something mystical. Something enchanted. It casts a spell transporting you to a small fishing village on the craggy shore from a long, long time ago. From a land & culture that is no more and has been lost. When elves still had power and fairies ruled the woods. These are sea songs for a shire. It’s a bewitching listen when life was simple and better for it. When life was still tied to the land and the tides dictated chores. Not time. Not clocks. It’s as if Donovan feels not just born in the wrong decade, but the wrong era altogether. And the spell he casts with both the music & lyrics is seamless. Nothing breaks it. You can actually smell the salt of the sea. Feel the spray of the ocean mist. Nothing reminds you that these songs were written in the sixties. Because these songs don’t even know that radio exists. Grade: A+. Simply one of the greatest double albums of all time. I would put this up against anything in the rock canon. Anything. That means you The White Album. That means you Blonde on Blonde. And Donovan shoots back to number one where he belongs."  [+]  Reply

This I have now done - 3-4 times. And I must say that I'm a bit confused. Compared with albums from contemporaries like the Byrds, the Doors, Jefferson Airplane and many others, I think this album falls entirely. I have a hard time finding really good songs. The vocals are mediocre at best. There may well exist excellent instrumental passages - especially solid blues guitar, but this applied course also for many of the group's contemporaries. At the end of the day, it's probably about taste, and I have to just admit that this album does not hit me. "  [+]  Reply

This is the highest form of high art. The most gifted band in Jazz, performing the most inspired music, live to a recording device. Nothing short of unbelievable what they pulled off here. This is one of a few albums that had every member at top form, pushing one-another to stretch the boundaries of music, and Tony Williams was indeed the "creative spark." Miles could take any tune and make it evil, and this work starts out threatening, foreboding, and out of perfect step with the heavy tune titled Orbits. A historic tune on its very own. Then what do they lay down, but another gem in "Circles," and Herbie delivers a historic solo piece. Then "Footprints" rocks the world. If every song other than Footprints sucked, the album would still be required listening among jazz fans. They pull of voodoo magic with timing in that song, and Miles proves to the world that he could arrange like none other. Check Waynes version on Adam's Apple...he missed the boat with the direction and time changes, and Miles hit the nail on the goddamned head. As did the whole band. Dolores fits like a key in this album. But then, what do they lay down? They kill it with two of the hardest-driving tunes they could possibly produce. THE ENERGY in those tunes! You are littering in the Grand Canyon. You are filling Yosemite with a lake. YOU are blaspheming against God and Nature by not reckoning just how brilliant this album is. This album is one of the few 5 stars. "  [+]  Reply
