love the first two albums
my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.
Heard two tracks off this, today, ordered it.New to me.

Great drumming on this track.
If it isn't Krautrock, it's krap.

Those early Axelrod records are basically all good.

Although Songs of Innocence is probably the freakiest of the lot, I find myself enjoying (Earth Rot) (1970) and Seriously Deep (1975) the most. The former is an honest and ambitious but flawed attempt at 'cerebral pop' sans the most overt psych infusion, while the latter lets loose all fronts and ends and ventures full-on groove en par with the 'philharmonic' Isaac Hayes and Parliament, albeit more altogether edgy and diverse. If there was a true US contestor to Vannier's masterwork, Seriously Deep would be my pick.

Who knew that Obama's political advisor had this whole other creative thing going on.
Oh, wait...
I'm holding out for the Wilson-mixed 5.1 super-duper walletbuster special anniversary extra adjectives edition.
Recorded about the same time, by the same crew (basically): "Mass in F minor" by the Electric Prunes. I don't think it's as good as "Song of Innocence" and "Songs of Experience" but it's in there somewhere.
And, IIRC, only ca. 1 1/2 of the original Electric Prunes remained, as the featured staff were mostly studio musicians. But both Mass in F Minor and Release of an Oath are definitely worth hearing, also because there's some embryonic "symphonic" rock going on there. Some damn hot playing too, especially in the guitars and drums department.

Pura Vida!.
There are two kinds of music. Good music, and the other kind. ∞
Duke Ellington.
Carol Kaye's bass really makes this recording.
have anyone noticed that U2's last two albums vear the same names of Axelrod's first two... wonder if that's an homage or not?

Earth Rot is his best in my opinion, though everything that preceded is also recommended. I like the fact that there are lyrics sung by a choir unlike the first two which are entirely instrumental, it adds a feeling that the album tells a story. And the original inner sleeve with the gas-mask man face and the quote "listen in good health" is just a brilliant idea.
I frequently plays this, I like it a lot for whatever reason...
Both were named after William Blake's books of poetry, so U2 may not even know who David Axelrod is.
