"Odessey and Oracle"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I liked this album – it was almost exactly as I imagined it to be ..... Very 60s esque. I really enjoyed the last track on side 2 – Time of the season (which I got it for mainly Interesting to note that one of The Zombies was Rod Argent (who later went on to form Argent) This band contained one Russ Ballard who wrote ‘God gave Rock 'n’ Roll to you'…and that song was Covered by Kiss and featured in Bill and Teds Excellent adventure. Anyway the album is very 60 ish and psychadelic (a product of the times really) but a good listen (A bit like Iron Butterfly) Anyway glad to have it Keep 'em coming Mighty Ape!!

Description

Odessey & Oracle (30th Anniversary Edition)

The Zombies were perhaps the most British-sounding of all British Invasion groups, and yet they never scored a hit record in their native U.K. The band released three great singles in the U.S, including the wonderful “Time of the Season,” which concludes this 1968 masterpiece, frequently called Britain's version of Pet Sounds.

This 30th anniversary edition presents both the stereo and mono versions (and there are substantial differences) of the melancholic, keyboard-dominated pop that flowed from Rod Argent and bassist Chris White. The Zombies' main songwriters explored “psychedelic” themes from odd angles. Here songs address a letter to a girlfriend in jail (“Care of Cell 44”) and war (“Butcher's Tale”). There's even a “flowers-in-their-hair” hippie anthem (the gorgeous “Hung Up on a Dream”). Totally of its time, and, nevertheless, a timeless classic.
