The Aggregation | tr

The Aggregation is an American psychedelic rockband who released one album in 1969, called “Mind Odyssey”.

The album sounds like a studio project. It’s atmospheric, psychedelic mood music and includes some mellow instrumentals with Eastern moves, flute passages and dreamy arrangements. Ideal music to unwind by. At times it’s reminiscent of The Electric Prunes Mass In F Minor period, especially on White Light, with its cathedral choir sound. On the down-side there’s some brassy arrangements that creep in too often and concocted lyrics and vocals which are occasionally rather lame. The City Of Toys And Games is sorta swing-era melody pop update - the toilet flush at the end eloquently sums it up. Life’s Light makes amends though. It commands pretty high prices but musically has limited appeal.



Recording on Lee Hazlewood’s LHI label probably places this as a Los Angeles-based project.
