"Rebirth" 2003 (CD Gear Fab GF 187) [+16 bonus tracks]
This co-ed soft psych album (produced by Lelan Rogers) is one of those records that seems like it’s going to be great, but falls a bit short. Even on the songs that “rock,” it’s all very twee, with flutes, harpsichords, falsetto backing vocals, wimpy vocals from the guy (as usual, they should have let the woman sing all of the songs), and occasional garish orchestration. The arrangements are certainly creative and elaborate, though word has it that the original mix is more colourful than the more commonly available version. “Sitting on a Flower,” which sports unexpected chord changes and punchier guitar than the rest of the album, and the long, drony “Pictorial” are probably the best songs. Mono stock copies may not exist. The band had an excellent non-LP 45 in a different style from the LP and were related to legendary garage bands the Mind's Eye, Argyles and Stoics. The Gear Fab reissue has a ton of interesting bonus tracks from their various incarnations before and after this album. [AM]
