After three albums with producer Lou Adler (who had also signed them on his label, Ode), the band brought in David Briggs, who'd previously worked with Neil Young. A real sense of camaraderie and experimentation runs through this entire work, which took longer to record than any previous Spirit effort. "Nature's Way" has remained popular since its first appearance, and the album also includes "Mr. Skin," "Morning Will Come," and "Animal Zoo."
The album is characterized by an audacious blend of catchy pop and experimental sounds, as on the folkish, daring "Why Can't I Be Free" and the musically ambitious "Love Has Found A Way." Unfortunately, this was the band's final album. Randy California and Ed Cassidy continued to resurrect the Spirit name over the decades, but the perfectly balanced tensions of this original lineup were gone. Here, though, the supremely focused yet adventurous playing and writing make TWELVE DREAMS OF DR. SARDONICUS Spirit's finest hour.

Rolling Stone (3/4/71, pp.52-54) - "...A blockbuster of a record..."
Entertainment Weekly (11/08/96, p.69) - "Seekers of esoteric musical thrills might do well to investigate these reissues of this all but forgotten West Coast band's late '60s/early '70s albums....unlike many latter-day chops flaunters, these guys mostly kept to the four-minute mark, so that even the unsuccessful experiments are mercifully brief." - Rating: B+ Twelve Dreams Of Dr Sardonicus (Millennium) Music Twelve Dreams Of Dr Sardonicus (Millennium) Review

While Varese Sarabande's The British Invasion Box certainly isn't a thoroughly comprehensive or complete overview of the mid-'60s boom of all things English in the world of rock & roll, it's certainly an entertainingly idiosyncratic examination of the period. Disc one, 25 Hits from the British Invasion, stretches that title more than a bit -- in no known universe was "I Knew It All the Time" by the Dave Clark Five really a hit, though since it predated their run of hits it was doubtless available to license unlike their best-known stuff, and similar legal issues make for a few other oddball inclusions. ...

Twelve Dreams Of Dr Sardonicus (Millennium)
$12.15
Crashing in at just over half an hour long, Apple O' brims over with as many vivid bursts of musical and lyrical inspiration as Deerhoof's other albums, but offers a little more conceptual structure for the band's outbursts and childlike melodies. As the title implies, Apple O' (my eye) revolves around the band's musings on love, sex, and creation, and in its own way, their freewheeling, spontaneous style captures the feeling of being head over heels perfectly. Songs like "Dummy Discards a Heart" -- which loosely likens being in love to playing cards -- and "Flower" make such a joyful noise that it's difficult not to be swept up in the band's quirky but potent happiness. This invigorating feel seeps into even the quieter tracks on Apple ...

Twelve Dreams Of Dr Sardonicus (Millennium)
$9.89
Cycles and connections, the second album by Receptor Sight is an interesting mixture of various influences put together in a soundtrack type form. Imagine a bit of early floyd, a bit of brian eno and coil, mix that in with rush, can, sonic youth and the japanese noise masters of the acid mothers temple. now lay back in a candle lit room, crank up loud and listen to the various experimental sound creations, layers of melody, and enjoy."Cycles and Connections" is an interesting collection of meditative instrumental compositions that defy classification. The best way to describe the unique qualities of this album is to take you through it track by track. The music begins with "Flying Towards the Hole" an uninhibited tribal beat that intensifies as it changes. The beat is accompanied by a number of sound effects that blend naturally into the unpredictable progression. Next, "The Basal Ganglia Forest" brings us into a formless work of middle eastern style guitar and acoustic percussion (the liner notes ...
