More on this LP and band from the Amazon web site: “The brooding second album by Mandrake Memorial is complex, transitional and driven by four egos trying to define a unique sound-and still get along. This music has a gradual tidal wave swelling to it, and its full power becomes accessible after repeated listening. Mandrake's song writing is far more adventurous than their first LP. You can hear the distinct influences of groups they must have revered, Traffic, Cream and Jefferson Airplane to name a few. Upon "Medium's" release in 1969 Michael Kac, whose distinctive keyboards (especially harpsichord) helped define Mandrake's sound, left the group due to musical differences. Whereas the first album was wonderfully cohesive this one stands as collection of beautifully crafted songs that shine individually. Their mood is one of loss and introspection.
Stored vertically in a smoke free environment for 48 years.
