I absolutely adore soft pop like this (with psych harmonies and overtones). This contains an unbelievable innocence that is hard to recreate when you're damaged goods. This is the real thing! They're singing about kites for crying out loud! And wait until you hear the tune they crafted about their 8 year old brother Woody, playing football, climbing trees, and his sundry goofs. If the sun isn't shining in your room after listening to this album, it's time to exorcise your Univers Zero collection.
Ownership: LP: 1967 Project 3. Wonderful thick colorful gatefold, typical of the label. Online acquisition (2009)
CD: 2003 Light in the Attic. Chockful of liner notes, vintage photos, and two bonus tracks. This was my introduction to the album (2005).

The sun isn´t shining in my room, its raining and I am listening to Universe Zero - at your suggestion. I didn´t know this music before, quiet interesting and really contrary to the gentle sounds of the Free Design, a band I know very well and adore. Thank you very much for the info and your interesting blog. Greetings from rainy Germany
