5.0 out of 5 stars
my favorite album of all time ever anywhere, July 24, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Point! (1971 Television Animated Film) (Audio CD)
My step father played this album for my brother and myself when i was too young to remember what it was or know what it meant... i just knew i liked it...then i forgot it for twenty years... then, while at work, i was speaking with a customer about something when he commented,"...kinda makes you feel like oblio, don't it?" I had a joyful coronary as all these memories slammed through my mind... he brought me a taped copy of it and i re-fell in love... now i am a dj(hardcore dance music) and,believe it or not, i use this record for samples. I believe that this record, which seems to be aimed at the kids, was the thing that helped keep me together while i was being ostracized from society... i really DID relate to oblio and i think any kid who doesn't fit the society mold would benefit from knowing this lovely record... you know... the record may have helped me shirk the mold... i will play it for my kids while still in the womb... i DO play it for my kids out on the floor... the dance floor,...and noone ever complains... love it. all is love... Fu

Absolutely, positively amazing!, January 20, 2000
This review is from: The Point! (1971 Television Animated Film) (Audio CD)
My parents made me come in the living room and watch this on PBS. At first I had decided that I was going to hate it because it interrupted my free time and it was on public television, but after the first song rolled I was completely entranced. I was ten years old at the time and am not much older now--18. I found it really frustrating that no one else my own age had ever even heard of it. I finally met someone that had this cd and was so excited that I finally had a friend that had shared my experience and was as influenced by it as I was. Not only that, but I found out that it was on cd, and thanks to amazon I will soon have it in my possesion, as will my sister, it being her favorite childhood memory too! So, even if you have never seen the animated version or even heard the music it's definately a must have.

One of the world's best records, August 21, 2002
This review is from: The Point! (1971 Television Animated Film) (Audio CD)
This was the first album I ever bought for myself as a child. I was 8. I don't know exactly how many times I've bought the vinyl since, and played it till it warped, or given it away and bought two more. Then cassettes, now CDs. I went on to become a musician, scolarships and a degree in the subject. I now make music that I feel is entire infuenced by this initial spark, and I'm devoted to making works as intelligent for young minds. Harry Nilsson, You are sorely missed.
