Let me run my fingers through your mind as I sail on a ocean of wings.
The Hobbits - Middle Earth
The Nice was a bizzare and over ambitious group with a vision that did NOT stand the test of time. On this record (Ars Longa Vita Brevis, 1968) they quote Sibelius, cover the theme from West Side Story (with no particular improvement!) and play a side long tribute to Brandenburg centred around the third movement: 'Brandenburger'. In addition, the engineering on the record is terrible. Voices seem detached from complex layers of instruments, drums appear to be from the apartment next door and vocal trade offs are horribly skewed. The enitre disc can only really be described as limp. However, from this sea of shit emerges a fairly great pop-psych gem.
The Nice - Happy Freuds
[Afterword: one of the members of The Nice, Keith Emerson, later went on to form Emerson, Lake & Palmer, and the lesser known (although equally talented) Emerson, Lake & Powell].
