Tomorrow (EMI)

Lovely British psychedelia, this has it all : sitars, changes of tempo, off the wall lyrics, sound effects. This album also includes a few tracks by the off-shoot Aquarian Age and some solo tracks by lead singer Keith West who became a bigger name because of "Teenage Opera" and thus Tomorrow became "Tomorrow featuring Keith West".

The album is "regarded" as one of the best psychedelic rock albums from the 1960s, i'm not 100% sold on that but when it is good it is very good, unfortunately it does descend into tuneless nonsense and whimsy (not of the good kind) all too often too. The album was not much of a hit as although it was recorded at psychedelia's height in 1967 it wasn't released until the next year when things were becoming a bit more... well square.

As usual with re-issues you get a lot of bonus tracks, the phased mono version of "revolution" is wonderful, better than the stereo version they went with on the original album to be honest. Another highlight is a cover of "strawberry fields forever".
