*************************************************************************************************************

The Moon’s second and final album, due to the internal reorganization at Imperial Records, is just as whimsical and melodic as their debut, with the album starting out with the wonderful honky-tonk piano of “Pirate” before swooping into the odd, angular baroque “Lebanon” which mixes the sound of early Bee Gees with the band’s trademark psychedelic touches.

The wonderfully quirky song titles are present again on this album, with “Transporting Machine” and “John Automation” jarring elbows with name songs “Mr. Duffy” and “Mary Jane”. The latter song is a masterpiece of gentle renaissance instrumentation, while “Transporting Machine”, like the somewhat misnamed “Softly” rock harder, but each song contains shifts in key signature and melody that keeps the listener guessing as to where each song will eventually land.

Musical inventiveness like this, which was pioneered by the Beatles, is ably carried on by The Moon’s hyper-inventive Matthew Moore, who takes the bulk of songwriting duties. But there’s explosive experimentation going on throughout the album, and David Marks’ playing is stunningly adept, showing off just how much he had embraced the new sounds of the late sixties – something which the Beach Boys struggled with, especially as the decade drew to a close.
