![]() Once again there is some great vocal and instrumental arrangement involved. "Black Butter, Past, Present, and Future" make up the last three tracks and are a suite of sorts. They are my personal favorites on the album. But "Pretty Song from Psych-Out" and "Sitting on a Star" are beautiful standouts. "Go Back, You're Going the Wrong Way" is an odd little song, almost as if they were just goofing off. "Sit With the Guru" goes back into single territory, however it didn't chart as well as the previous 45s. "They Saw the Fat One Coming" and "Curse of the Witches" are slower, darker tunes which tell some intriguing stories. "Tomorrow", the first single from the album, continues the happy pop sound with its great moving bass line and instrumentation. But then, "Soft Skies, No Lies" changes everything up with its bouncy feel and sunshine lyrics. ![]() This song sounds the most like their first album. "Nightmare of Percussion" kicks off the album with some great drumming, then plenty of instrumental jamming and few vocals. Time signature shifts and jazzy rhythms dominate a few of the songs, and most of the vocals are layered and/or interweaving. It's a fun album! Once again the musicianship is top-notch, but this time the song arrangements are more intricate. Their second album, Wake Up.It's Tomorrow is much more polished and focused. Even so, it showcases the band's fine musicianship, as they rock their way through a lineup of psychedelic tunes celebrating the wonders of acid trips and other aspects of '60s life. Their first album, which was named after their hit song, has a somewhat raw live sound to it, mostly due to it's hasty assembly and release. They released four albums in the late '60s, the first two of which are excellent. ![]() Ah, but there was so much more to them than that #1 hit song from 1967. To so many people, the Strawberry Alarm Clock was nothing more than a one-hit wonder who put out that "Incense and Peppermints" song, which was featured in the first Austin Powers flick.
