Cultural Facts:
-
Production Style: Composer David Axelrod fused distorted psychedelic rock, orchestral arrangements, and choral performances of the Latin Mass into one of the era’s strangest major-label experiments.
-
Personal Struggle: The band had little creative control over the project and struggled to perform Axelrod’s complex arrangements, leading session musicians to complete portions of the record and contributing to the original lineup’s collapse.
-
Media Narrative: “Kyrie Eleison” later appeared in the film Easy Rider, exposing the album’s eerie mixture of religious ceremony and acid rock to a much larger audience.
