Kaleidoscope - A Beacon From Mars 1968 (USA, Psychedelic Rock, Country Rock)



The second album from Los Angeles. Influential critic Pete Welding, in his review for the magazine "Down Beat" in 1968, dubbed the group "electronic eclecticism," and since the definition of "eclectic" firmly stuck to it. No other team of the time could not boast of having used such a wide range of tools at their own game. Thanks to the participants of "Kaleidoscope" many rare instruments were first involved in rock music.
