5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful and Slightly creepy, October 26, 2008

By	Kevin P. Mccarthy "Art School Loser" (Florida) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

From its clown cover to the layered harmonies of childhood themes it is very easy in our time to consider this creepy and ironic. What makes this cd so beautiful is the fact that the band members were SINCERE in what they were doing. It is hard to wrap our post-millenial heads around the fact that the band was making beautiful music and it is totaly innocent. It is very refreshing. While there are many current art-school bands (of good merit) like Stereolab that have been influenced by Free Design, they were not poseurs, but rather excellent musicians who recorded music that on a certain level was way ahead of their time. Unfortunately there was a very limited market in the early 70's for what we would now call college radio/indie. They were trying to break into a commercial market that did not understand where they were coming from. If you are a fan of electronica or ambient, you will appreciate the soundscapes they create. Their vocals and harmonies are brilliant and will appeal to singer-songwriter types as well. This cd is a must-have for indy and twee fans as well. And for those of us that grew up in the 70's, you will lover the version of Sesame Street (and the chapstick commercials)
