    It's good - definitely worth having, but nowhere near as good as USA

    That shit gave me a really bad feeling when I was tripping. I don't even remember why, but my friend and I were both highly offput by it.

    fields hippies is good. Cloudier and scruffier than USA.

    That was more like the face I made for the good records. This cover was making me laugh uncontrollably for some reason:


    I think the dude with the psychopath look on the upper left is the best, but the gentleman on the lower right is pretty good too.

    Its strange, for some sullen looking guys the album is pretty goddamn cheery in most places. At least I remember it as such, its my friend's and I haven't heard it in a few months.

    lothar sound really angry to me. like they are going to kill fools after the set. the pictures i think capture that frame of mind

    Field Hippies would get more respect and acclaim if the record that came before it wasn't so goddamned perfect. But it is really really strong and recommended.

    The two Byrd Takoma records are useless Arp synth bullshit.

    I thought about it and in particular the song right after "Machines" was the one I was thinking of. Or maybe its a song or two later. Its on that side for sure. I've only heard it a couple times when I wasn't tripping. But that one song is definitely cheery, both the guitar and the lyrics. I need to hear that shit again.

    a tripped out record where they use a moog sounding instrument called a lothar/ theremin, operated in mid air, i think jean michel jarre used it also...

    The cover wouldn't have been so bad if only three of those guys were looking towards the camera instead of up in the air.
