One of the classic era Mendes I still didn't have. While Mendes' 60s works are ubiquitous, once the decade flipped over, his sales clearly must have gone down, as not all of his albums are as readily available. In addition, Mendes was messing with the formula a bit here. Less of the easy listening bossa nova - or even the psychedelics of Crystal Illusion - and more of the earthy folky sounds of the 1970 pop era. It's all very well done, perhaps a bit too serious, and none of the hair raising inner-child melodies of the past. At some point I'll probably shed some of these Mendes albums, and this one will be in with that pack, while others are hard filed for the long haul.
