The Advancement - s/t. 1969 Philips
Another title from the CD-R revisit project. There is a "gray area" reissue out there, but we're calling for a better one.
No question that The Advancement are a
bunch of jazzers trying their hand at the hip psychedelic sounds of the
day. But in the end, they come across as a bunch of clueless
squares. Because if they could have let loose on the foundation laid,
this would have been an album for the ages. As it stands, The
Advancement remains a fine album of instrumental jazz/rock without one
notable standout track, including the usual call-outs like 'Stone Folk'
and 'Fall Out' which of course feature the only fuzz on the album.
Potential unrealized - though worth hearing and owning for certain.
Priority: 3
