Timothy Clover - The Cambridge Concept of Timothy Clover (Reissue) (1968/2013)

"For years the names "Harvard Square" and "Cambridge" were synonymous with old world traditions and vine covered colleges. A place for the rich and famous only, where football rivalry was the main topic of discussion and the "Hasty Pudding Club" created havoc among the shop keepers . . . now it's different!!! A wave of revolution has swept thru the age-old streets. Walk here . . . and you will find yourself in a flower garden of youth. Colorful beads, strange clothing, hanging guitars...dominate the scene. Songs never before heard . . . of love and dreams, of great expectations and sad regret, of truth and existence are being sung everywhere. They are the key to this new, exciting concept of life finding birth here.

Come now - with Timothy Clover - one of them... into this world of strangeness and beauty - with words you have never heard - in a place that is now beyond your understanding.. but, perhaps. . . if you listen with an open mind. . . and without prejudice . . . the ethereal meaning of it all will become majestically and realistically clear to you . . .

Pet Sounds der Beach Boys mag für diese LP genauso Pate gestanden haben, wie Revolver von den Beatles. Sicher hat Timothy Clover nicht den musiklischen Atem gehabt, es mit den genannten Meisterwerken wirklich aufzunehmen - dennoch ist es ein gelungenes kleines Schmuckstück aus einer großartigen Zeit.
