Story Of Simon Simopath Reviews:
Un producto típico del barroquismo de fines de los 60. 
2003-12-09 - Si no hubiese sido por el famoso Nirvana probablemente nunca hubiera conocido este disco y menos a ese ridículo precio (3 dólares). Al parecer algún fanático de Cobain lo encargó sin saber obviamente de la existencia de este grupo de los 60 y la sorpresa debe haber sido gigantesca, ya que no debe haber 2 cosas más distintas con el mismo nombre.
No voy a entrar en la tediosa discusion de los discos conceptuales, pero este si parece ser uno de los primeros, al menos hay una idea clara que se va desarrollando. Una historia de ciencia ficción donde un niño desea volar y se deprime por no poder hacerlo y luego conoce a una chica y son felices sólo pudo inventarse en 1967, aunque vista hoy pueda parecer a lo menos un poco ridícula. Musicalmente el disco intenta recrear ese ambiente onírico que cuenta la historia, con muchos toques barrocos (cello, cuerno frances, arpa). Hay ciertos parecidos con los primeros Bee Gees o Left Banke, pero el grupo logra desarrollar un estilo propio y los temas varían desde adornadas baladas a moderados temas pop rock, resaltando Lonely Boy y You're Just the One respectivamnete, esta última con un notable bajo. Pese a su cortísima duración (apenas 25 minutos), The Story es un álbum bien elaborado, con tintes sicodélicos pero sobre todo lleno de cuidadosos arreglos y detalles.
Nirvana's first masterpiece 
2002-09-04 - This album, originally released in 1967, is Nirvana's first album, and also the first "concept album". Simon Simopath is a loner who agrees to take part in an experimental space project, and ultimately finds the End Of The Universe. Although there's no Milliways Restaurant there, this is still top-quality music, and a highly recommended CD.

Music Hall Psychedelia
2002-02-07 - This band was from the United Kingdom. The recording is very enjoyable- the vocals dominate, however- it's not any kind of a jam music disc. It seems to have its antecedent in the British music hall tradition, with a bit of 1967 mysticism thrown in. Very pleasant and catchy tunes with appealing vocals and some interesting instrumentation.
