Chrysalis - definition

Chrysalis' album from the late 1960s is one of those "lost psychedelia classics" that has recently been unearthed and reissued on CD (well 6 years ago anyway) but is it any good or should it have remained lost?

Actually for an album of its time its pretty good though probably sounds better while stoned. Tracks like "Dr Root's Garden" are interesting more than being that brilliant and some of the more wacky moments like strange voices are a bit annoying. Its a bit more Zappa-esque than i care for (more a Dead Head). There is enough here to be a worthwhile and enjoyable listen.

Some of the "previously unreleased tracks" are the best of the lot to be honest, i particularly like "Window shopping" with its laid back feel bluesy/country rock feel. Its a nice listen but not quite Sgt Pepper.
