I’ve only just recently heard of the album Odessy and Oracle By The Zombies due to the fantastic BBC Radio 4 Show Mastertapes. However it contains tracks easily recognisable to me, picked up through osmosis from pop culture. A mark of music clearly defining it’s time and place.

This darkness drifts away with the introduction of the rhythmic guitars and harmony’s as we get to the chorus. Then for good measure a few Organ solos give us a true feeling of a 60′s jam synonymous with that psychedelic sound.

It’s truly some good stuff:
