Spooky Tooth - Ceremony (1969)

The third album from this band from Great Britain.

The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, organ and vocals.

Pierre Henry added electronics.

This album is a cooperation between Spooky Tooth and the electronics artist Pierre Henry from France. This is like the cooperation between Metallica and Lou Reed...... or Metallica and Lulu. Those happened forty years later, though.

The music is therefore a bit different from what we could expect from a Spooky Tooth album.

The music here is a mix of psych, electronic prog and space rock. It is like one big spacy piece of music.

There is a lot of dissonant electric guitars solos and electronics here. There are also some vocals here.

The music is not melodic and therefore a big departure from the normal goods from this band. It is indeed a weirdo album.

The quality is decent enough and space rock fans should check out this album. It is an intriguing album, indeed and better than Metallica's two cooperation albums.
