Yeah, Kerry's got them perfectly pegged. I just got the new CD, "The
Restoration Of Culture After Genghis Khan" and, just like it's predecessor,
it's really good! Lots of disparate elements coming together like a tasty
ambrosia (the dessert, not the band, although I love the band-well, their
first two albums, anyway). Very regal at times, with unmistakable late '60s
Bee Gees influence. It's about 75% rock and 25% psychedelia, and if it
transformed 25% of the rock into a garage element, it would fall smack dab
into the Rainbow Quartz cavalcade...this is a descriptive rather than a
critical characterization, because it certainly is much more unique the way
it is.
