If it's new to my ears it's 'new' music. For this reason i've dropped out of modern pop. Nothing i like. With thebestdreamihad i'm finding some real treats. New 0ld ones. This is good. Need more goodness on this planet. Back in the mid - late '60s there was simply more music made than the stations could play. Seriously. It was overwhelming. This is my chance to CATCH UP on missed jewels. I put 'um on tape. Getting some good playlists here. Thank You.

[@lukeswain1752]

I was just about to ask you to share some playlists but I see you've made one. I'm excited to see what you've found in your journey!

[@guillermogodiva]

@@lukeswain1752 Yo también hice lo mismo.

[@bluebellbeatnik4945]

same. modern music is boring.

[@dprice81]

There's good modern music. You just have to search it out, like finding channels like this and learning about old albums u never heard of. It's just that most good bands now put their music out themselves or on an independent label

[@dprice81]

The only modern pop I like is "Lawrence". They are semi known but they're not huge. They make quality albums for pop. King Gizzard and The Wizard make a great psych pop album called Fishing For Fishies. Summer Woods I would consider pop. She's made a few quality songs that very few people have heard unfortunately. She's young though so she's got time. Underground is where it's at. And yes so many late 60s and 70s rock music. Lots of great music to discover.

[@RichUncleSkellington]

I randomly typed the word "Chrysalis" into search and this came up, it must have been fate, because I have found gold!

[@sharonschatz7261]

I saw them live when in college. Played this album often!

Nel loro sound colgo oltre al folk alla psichedelia anche forme jazzate Una band Davvero creativa innovativa e quindi progressive rock !!!! Ma mai avrei pensato se non lo avessi letto che fosse una band USA !!!!! Quindi ne deduco che il progressive rock era già arrivato negli USA qualche anno prima dei 70 !!!! Questi CHRYSALIS ne sono una dimostrazione !!!! Grandissima dimostrazione Direi!!!! Ben un anno prima dell' uscita dell' album che a detta degli esperti segna l'inizio del progressive rock cioè In The Court of the Crimson King dei King Crimson !!!! Io NON sono MAI stato d' accordo con questa affermazione , infatti album come questo sembrano darmi ragione !!!! Ed anche molti altri usciti prima di in the Court of.....

[@Ummagumma-69]

Согласен со всеми, и бесконечно рад, что в мире столько любителей и ценителей Такой музыки. Потрясен тем, что как люди знают и разбираются в Такой музыке. От себя хотел бы добавить, что в музыке этой группы есть еще отголоски группы Gentle Giant. Бесконечно благодарен всем , кто писал комментарии- получил истинное удовольствие. Мне 66, рок слушаю с 1969, рок бесмертен и вне наций и вне политики, я это говорю потому, что я из России, для меня рок, особенно псих 67-72, это все, это планетарно, вселенски. Я люблю всех, кто любит рок. Long live rock'n'roll ! Неподражаемая ни с чем не сравнимая группа. Слоны летают, на танках растут цветы, троли подружились с гоблинами, а гномы вышли из пещер. Просто везде - радость !

Tutti albums creativi innovativi con idee di sperimentalità qualche anno prima dell' uscita di In the Court of the Crimson King dei King Crimson che per molti esperti segna l'inizio del progressive rock !!!!! Invece per me NON è vero questi dischi che ho citato lo stanno a dimostrare ed altri che non ho elencato che meritavano altrettanta menzione !!!!!

I saw this band perform live in central park when the lp first came out. I bought the album and still have it. It was only 3 days ago I discovered that there were bonus tracks. Pretty cool. Thanks for posting.

[@thomassmith8721]

Intricate, delicate and amazing are choice words to describe this LP. Kind of like a psychedelic opera. To say this album is better than Sgt. Pepper, Doors, Surrealistic Pillow is going out on a limb. A bold statement but a respected opinion. Great LP

Quite delightful actually ...

[@AnthonyArena-g7l]

There's a great article on the internet about James "Spider" Barbour (the leader of this band and the guy at the bottom of the band photo) and his wife Anita. They live in Woodstock NY and love music and insects, and wrote a book about insects. James wrote the text and Anita took the photos. Three of the others in this band have died, one when he was only 27, in a car accident. The female vocalist became a marine biologist. The drummer, Daoud "David" Shaw, went on to play with Van Morrison, Jerry Garcia, and Etta James (!), and from 1975 through 1977 was the drummer for the Saturday Night Live band led by Paul Schaefer. He died in 2018 at age 71 from cancer.

[@bluebellbeatnik4945]

[@christopherlaro4156]

Transportive as all sacred music should be. Thanks. A’ho

[@darrenstansbury4433]

The music is interesting, exactly what you would expect from a band named "Chrysalis." The name also suggests that they were always metamorphosing, which is something musicians do if they're adventurous and desire to grow as artists.

[@bluebellbeatnik4945]

it's definitely what you'd expect from a band names chrysalis. It's a very late 60s hippy name.

Lillian Roxon said in ROCK ENCYCLOPEDIA, that "Cynthia Gerome" had definite "Eleanor Rigby" vibes - but I think maybe more evocative and delicate.

[@MikeDial]

Odd, but appealing. The art in their music intrigues me; they're head-and-shoulders better musicians than most pop bands. Knowing absolutely nothing about this group, I'm guessing that they weren't bigger because they hated touring.

I couldn't even get through to half of the episode before shutting it off because the music being played during his high stress periods TRIGGERED MY OWN FLARE-UP!!!
