So glad I chose to do this particular series. Because this is the way to listen to this record, perhaps the best and certain one of the most influential compilation albums ever released. But to get a chance to listen to it day by day one song at a time is reminding me just how much I love this stuff, and so many of the songs on here are amiong my favourite songs of all.
This one certainly. The 13th Floor Elevators, unlike many of the other groups on here, weren't quite like any other band before or since. This was the most accessible thing they ever recorded. Their only hit. But, although it has a fabulous tune, relentless momentum, it's still utterly sealed and remote in some ways. If you're not on the trip that the band are on after all, you can't quite keep up with them. Some were. More have been since. Utterly peerless.
