L.A. acid-psych band Goldenrod was made up of some of the top session players of the time, who backed bands such as Elvis Presley, The 5th Dimension, The Ventures, and the Doors to name a few. This album is the band letting loose and carrying about in their own fashion. Made up of 4 extra long tracks, Decent of the Cyclopedeans, Karamic Dream Sequence, The Gator Society, Standing Ovalua-tion. The album has an intense emotional sound with stellar guitar work done by Ben Benay. Apparently, the group met each other while backing the 5th Dimention and later, after becoming seasoned studio players formed Goldenrod. Totally awesome musicianship. But then, what else would you expect from a group of top session players?
