The band's second album of west coasty feel, loaded with vocal harmonies and nice songs.  Members were ex-ORA (another soft psych outfit who released one gem).  Perfect for late night listening.

Amazing album of eccentricity but nice.  This one-man band was known to have used homemade instruments and his style is best described as psychedelic folk.  Mystical!

I Must Be Wrong / My Hawaiian Home / Mama Knows Boys A Rambler / Mambo Che Chay / Oneness With The Forest / Tiny Wind Of Shanol / Bray / Axonda / Goin' On Through / Preparation Dimension Of Heaven
