BCB 100 - Love
I only have Forever Changes and have only heard a couple of other tracks. The best song I know of theirs is "Maybe The People Would Be The Times..." There are several other songs from this time and place that have a similar sort of mellow tension, but I don't think anyone ever crafted it so well. That vocal duet with the trumpet is the epitome of the glee this song creates. A nearly perfect skewed pop concoction.
Favorites Song - "Maybe The People Would Be The Times or Between Clark And Hilldale"

'Forever Changes' has been the slowest grower in my collection. I now love it more than most other albums I have - it's probably a work of genius. Nothing else sounds like it, and it could only have come out of those wild, strange times. It's a beautiful album, best heard late at night.
I quite like the follow-up (the name eludes me at the moment) - at least two tracks are great. The man was a one-off, and it shows.
We're going to have a lot of posters saying the first side of 'Da Capo' was their finest hour, and you won't find any disagreement here. 'She Comes in Colours' is fabulous.

Careful, Coan--your hippie roots are showing.

I suppose you're joking, and I know it's been discussed before, but there's a paranoia and a harshness on display there that's very much at odds with the hippy ideal. Musically, tho', I suppose it's very 'sunny' much of the time.
Aren't we overrating 'You Set The Scene' just a tad, btw?

No, I'm not joking--and this belief that certain BCBers have (stand up, Toomanyhatz!) that hippies were always passive, love children with never a darker world view is ridiculous.

Forever Changes is the only album I've got, though I do keep meaning to investigate the others. It's very good, but as a whole it isn't quite great. An album of good songs with two or three really special ones, the best of which is of course You Set the Scene.

Almost exactly agree - although I prefer the live You Set The Scene, the whole album isn't quite as good as the original.

Song: Run To The Top
Don't get me wrong, I've loved Forever Changes since, well, forever. I'm a ZigZag / Dark Star guy BUT if I had to choose...
And the original Out Here gatefold sleeve, without the title lettering (which was added for later CD releases) is one of my all time favourites too...

Sorry, missed the above post.
"isn't quite great"???
Laughable.
Or, as Carlsson would say, "Cloth ears".

In which case I can agree with you.
If side two of Da Capo were even remotely good, it may compete for my album choice, but it isn't so it doesn't.

No, what's ridiculous is the notion that anyone who was around in the sixties, had long hair and did drugs was a hippie. As best exemplified by your absurd notion that Charles Manson was a hippie.
Album - Forever Changes, but Da Capo's pretty great too.
