One of the best early albums from the legendary Moondog - a set that got wider circulation than his first few releases, and really helped expand his reach beyond New York City! Moondog's still at his simple best here - working in a blend of rhythmic percussion, stringed instruments, flute, and other rootsy instrumentation - all with echoes of eastern styles, but served in a way that definitely has more of a touch of American exotica. All numbers are played by small groups - or even solo by Moondog - and any vocalizations take on almost an instrumental feel - sliding in alongside sound effects, animal noises, and other obscure utterings. The album's almost the art world equivalent of Martin Denny - but has a lot more depth than easy kitsch - and is still tremendously powerful stuff all these years later!
