What do you think of the writing and the actual ideas communicated by it? I like and appreciate pretty much everything about it except that, from what I remember, the flowery-ness of the words gave me no more than a raised eyebrow. I'll need to give it another listen.Forever Changes by Love (1967) - My new favorite record of the moment, and one of my favorite of all-time. Formed through a continuous stream of peculiar but soothing musical arrangements which converge to create a vortex where it feels that all that exists is a small moment in time where only one particular pool of sounds exists and I felt submerged by a very-slow moving tide. Then, skillfully, an upbeat, rocking sound would surf over me as my attention never waned.
The sounds are complemented superbly by gorgeous vocals which creates a cadence which rarely lets up, all the while never leaving you tired or uncomfortably confused against the many layers of musical notes, who along with Arthur Lee's voice, helps every instrument enhance one another to great heights and bring about an exquisite orchestration. So adept is Love's musicianship that they can play soothing folk - a genre I tend to dislike - psychedelic rock with uniform musicianship.
Forever Changes, to me, is a black hole which is complete at the time of its appearance and performance, which sweetly vacuums you in for a worthy experience where I felt my ears acutely aware of the starry-experience, and my eyes indulging in a vivid experience through a palette of colory images. A first-rate album.
Favorite tracks: Alone Again Or, A House Is Not A Motel, Maybe the People Would Be The Times or Between Clark and Hilldale.
