Customer Reviews:

But is it music?.......2007-01-05

I can see where this album is headed. Maybe decades of similar efforts covering similar ground have taken the edge off it for my ears. Red Krayola always sounds to me like a band that gets just this close to the heart of the issue without really nailing it though. Are they aiming too high, or are they just too high?

Post-punk ten years before punk was born!.......2005-03-13

Wow. My mind has just been blown.

In this album, recorded in 1968, you can directly hear the impact the Red Krayola has had on numerous important bands of the future, from the Pixies to Pere Ubu to the Fall to Pavement to Sonic Youth to... I could go on forever. "The Jewels of Madonna" is probably the coolest song ever, especially of the 1960s. This brief slice of brilliance simultaneously recalls Pere Ubu at their peak and the Pixies' "Debaser." If you love those bands you will probably lose your s***. "Say Hello to Jamie Jones" has this really punchy Gang of Four-esque beat (a la "Anthrax").

"Victory Garden" is (in my opinion) better than anything the Velvet Underground ever made, and it is the only love song I've ever heard written to Adolf Hitler in the voice of his wife. It was later covered by Galaxie 500. Occasionally some Beefheart even seeps into the mix. "Dairymaid's Lament" resembles a rawer, more stripped down post-punk era Beefheart meets, at times Olivia Tremor Control. "Free Piece" is a great free jazz guitar-bass-drums workout. "Leejol" is really raw and punky
