LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

Finally available on CD again

As the Exception, this quartet were one of Chicagos top mid-60s bands. In 1968 they shook up their personnel, changed their name to Aorta and embraced psychedelia, issuing their debut album the following spring. An ambitious psychedelic suite, it alternates between mellow and heavier sounds, with some intense fuzz guitar and sound effects, and stands as one of the best major label psych LPs of the late 1960s.
