Extremely progressive record for 1968. Psychedelic folk with male and female vocals, filled with trumpets, flutes, violins and even the rare mellotron. Great melodies reminiscent of West Coast psychedelia, amazing instrumentation in the form of trumpet and flute and some avant-garde moments. It can hardly be called a simple solo album, rather, a whole team of like-minded people creating a revolutionary record for that time. In some places the freaky music reminds of OPUS AVANTRA, in other places it's real progressive.
