Album Notes & Community Reviews

The second full-length release by Eric Burdon's completely revamped, California-based lineup is a heavily orchestrated dive into anti-war protest and countercultural philosophy. Anchored by the towering, epic track 'Sky Pilot', the album utilizes dense sound effects, sitars, and string arrangements to create a sprawling, apocalyptic vision of late-1960s psychedelia.
