Free Music Review: A "Magical" Piece of Work
Hit: 5 Stars
As a 20 year old, I have always felt that the music of the 60's and early 70's was the greatest era in popular music. After listening to this album, it made it so much better. I have always like The 5th Dimension and Jimmy Webb, but only knew of a handful of songs he wrote them such as "Up, Up And Away." I have no idea that Jimmy Webb wrote and arranged an entire album for the group. When I learned of this, I listened to the samples and was completely blown away! Only listening to 30 second samples, I knew I had to get this album and I am so glad I did. It is an incredible piece of work. Each song is outstanding and gets better after each listening. Several shining songs include "Summer's Daughter," "Carpet Man," "Requiem: 820 Latham," "The Girl's Song," and "Paper Cup." There is not one bad song on this album (with the exception of "Ticket To Ride" which was moved for to the end of the CD). It's a shame that it didn't do well on the charts back in 1968 because it's really a musical masterpiece. They sure don't write songs and material like this anymore. People from my generation have a lot to learn.
One of the best albums I've ever heard. It's a must have!!
The Magic Garden Poster
2008 digitally mastered reissue of this true undisputed classic of orchestrated, Psych-tinged Soft Pop. The 5th Dimension are one of the most successful American bands of the late '60s. In 1968, they were teamed up with producer Bones Howe and wunderkind composer/arranger/all-round bona fide musical genius beyond redoubt, Jimmy Webb, who presented them with a complex song cycle based on his own tumultuous relationship with his partner. Nestling between such dyed-in-the-wool classics as 'Carpet Man', 'The Girls' Song', 'The Worst That Could Happen' (which all became hit singles for other artists) and the life-affirming title track (as covered by Dusty Springfield no less) are such lesser-spotted Webb gems as 'Summer's Daughter' and 'Paper Cup'. The whole cycle is linked with beautifully ornate pieces of orchestration, sitar flourishes and ethereal vocals. Rev-Ola.Pop Music CDs
