MARK ERIC / a midsummer's day dream RARE
An incredible fantasy of California pop -- recorded too late in the 60s to really strike big, but with a perfect approach to mid-decade Beach Boys at their best! Mark Eric's clearly borrowing plenty of pages from Brian Wilson's bag for this set (and maybe Brian Hyland too) -- and the original tunes have the beautiful quality of Wilson's best writing in the pre-Pet Sounds years -- dealing with deeper themes, but in a very careful and sometimes guarded way that makes the tunes that much more heartfelt. The arrangements are Wilson-inspired too -- but have a more mature style than the lyrics -- handled by Vic Briggs with a quality that's similar to the brilliant Surf Symphony album of the same year -- almost a dreamy remembrance of the sweeter side of California earlier in the decade, but undercut with some of the bluer, more adult modes of the time. Backings feature swirling strings, ringing vibes, and some groovy guitar -- and Mark's vocals are often recorded in a way that harmonizes them against the lead -- a one-man vocal group, with echoes of The Four Freshmen at times. Titles include "California Home", "Move With The Dawn", "Laura's Changing", "Lynn's Baby", "Just Passing By", "Sad Is The Way That I Feel", and "Take Me With You".
