Because...
Tip of the iceberg from an album I tried to remember the name of for years...
Sort of a cross between Genesis (wall of sound), Pink Floyd (vocals), and say Buckingham or McGuinn on guitar/12 string, and Who/Kinks 'rock opera'. Some traces of Traffic as well, part of the overall 60's/70s tapestry. Hm, Pearly Queen reference?
This is my decades old ear-worm, finally free at last. Came to me like nectar from the gods... (Tnx EL!)
Carnival time! (Bit of "Frankenstein" too?)
This is cued up to "Fidgety Queen", a good introduction for the many who have never heard (of) this band.
The track is part of the entire album here; you can let it play on to a lovely guitar song ("Oh Willy") and then a ballad/anthem which features the 12-string and lovely tune, with a refrain which reminds me of Floyd or maybe David Bowie.... Little Boy...
*Gently slip away"
If you get hooked, go back and start at the beginning; starts off strong (Astral Man) and weaves from song to song like a real 'rock opera', IMM at the time, like a circus. Headphones or good/loud speakers strongly recommended. 🎧 This is the #70s (when I was in the biz, and heard this in a studio and later at rock festivals... ) Great album, finally recalled (been online 3 years now I see) Enjoy
