Dont you feel it sounds a little Syd Barrett and psychedelic. I think I find the whole link with Brian Wilson fascinating.

But this to me is a great listen some of the music reminds me of the soundtrack you would hear on "Land of the giants" that they used to show on sunday mornings.

Its not a tunes album but I like the quirkyness if there is a tune I would say it is "Palm Desert".

My friends band autons just supported the magic band recently and have been getting into that. Think Im liking the "vans" at the mo i.e Don Van Vliet. He was also a captain!!!
