At some point I promise to include a less-than-great album for perspective (as well as some garage rock); but I just had to get this out of the way. UFO Club alumni Tomorrow's eponymous record is one of the better known 60's also-rans, and ofcourse made absolutely no commercial impact. However, John Peel (praise his name) championed the band on his Top Gear show; and there's a fantastic version of the psych standard 'Revolution' from these sessions which I'll include in the upload.
The album is exemplified by showcasing almost everything from 'toytown'-psych stylings ('Three Jolly Little Dwarfs') to baroque pop ('Auntie Marie's Dress Shop'), heavy psych ('Claramount Lake'), raga ('Real Life Permanent Dream') and some great cover versions of the psychedelic standards 'Why' and 'Strawberry Fields Forever'.
As if this weren't enough we have the metaphorical anthem 'My White Bicycle', which manages to capture the runaway spirit of the age and incorporate many of psychedelia's innovations into one song (flanging, use of non-musical instruments, reverse...well everything).
A great selling point for all you psych-skeptics is the total absence of any kind of electric organ AND the recording debut of the mighty Steve Howe; who would of course soon find success with skiffle giants Yes. 'Tomorrow' belongs alongside the debut records of peers Soft Machine and Pink Floyd.
