With the original 360 Sound Columbia Records inner sleeve
The United States of America was one of the early mixes of progressive rock and psychedelic nusic whose works conmbine early electronic music with rock. Theirs is one example of a rock music group where the claim that they were "ahead of their time" can be given without irony. Formed in 1967 by Joe Byrd, the band membership consisted of the following: Joe Byrd (electronic music, electric harpsichord, organ, calliope, piano, and Durrett Electronic Music Synthesizer), Dorothy Moskowitz (lead vocals), Gordon Marron (electric violin, ring modulator), Rand Forbes (fretless electric bass) and Craig Woodson (electric drums and percussion). Ed Bogas also performed on the record with occasional organ, piano, and calliope; he became a full member of the band on its first and only tour. The record was recorded and produced by David Rubinson, for CBS Records in 1967, and released in 1968.
IN the neighborhood of Fifty Foot Hose's Cauldron and White Noise's An Electric Storm but more known because it was on Columbia Records. Pretty cool throughout, very trippy, awesome electronics, perfect melding of sun-chilled flower psych and pure psych freak-outs. IF there's one album that needs more exposure it is this one. Quite innovative for its time with its use of electronic instuments and use of samples and strong melodic songs ...'The Garden of earthly delights' opens the album with mysterious haunting vocals over an erratic synth melody which is so immersing if its the type of thing youre into. The rest of the album continues with a combination of upbeat trips and atmospheric/classicalish songs. The drum and bass create a tight rhyhm section which goes down well with the erratic electronic melodies. All the songs have their own personality which makes listening to the whole album through an easy task.
