Zodiac, The - Cosmic Sounds

For all these years. I hadn't thought much about it, but this album...Yes, I had bought it back in 1968. The years of 'Nam, UFO blackouts on the East Coast...it added mystery to the night skies in the crisp New England (Ct.) nights. Searching and searching for someone to take me away from this violent planet.
Anyway, if you think of what people were listening to at that time...Cosmic Zodiac was way far beyond anything. What do you mean thin. Listen to some of the riffs of the guitar and harpsicord...and sitar, and percussion...man that was OUT there.
I always searched for new music and I still do...Americans have become more clones like the Japanese and follow the media's capitalist push. Long live those who really strive for freedom...without trying to make a million bucks....yeah yeah

So, put on those space boots and flow thru the Cosmic Zodiac...well recommended.

The Zodiac was not a band as usual, but a collective of top L.A. session-musicians. The idea for this experimental concept-album on astrology goes back to Jac Holzman, Elektra's founder and president. The Moog was hired right from an AES (Audio Engineering Society) convention, which took place in town.
The result is a piece of very hippiesque pathetic psychedelia-babble. The recording is only interesting due to historical issues, it musical content is very thin.
