BritishPsych :
Odessey & Oracle (album) : It's rather tragic that The Zombies are splitting. But what a momentous last album they are leaving behind-quite the most outstanding record of the month for creativity, originality, sensitivity and sheer dimension. "Rose For Emily", a song that is related by implication to "Eleanor Rigby" or "Lady Jane", and has the same texture, is so tender, so sweet, that it should have been issued as a farewell single. All the songs were written by Rod Argent and Chris White; and they're a long way from "She's Not There", the song that shot The Zombies to the top of the international charts years ago. Their writing is now poetic and observant, sad and wistful. And if you like music with meaningful lyrics, it's joyful. Hear The Zombies-they're so good!
Friends of Mine : This group seldom gets the success it deserves from British fans and in an attempt to remedy that I'm told the boys have taken six months off to re-think their pop approach. Here they make excellent use of their harmony talents on this happy, driving number. Could well be the break they're looking for, hope so.
Time of The Season : The very last single from The Zombies before this talented group disbands. And this disc makes us realise just what we're going to miss, because it's a very good farewell offering. Pity is that the sort of thing one can confidently tip for the charts but the discerning listener will enjoy it immensely.
