My Top 1000 Songs #1006: Dreamworld

I'm again indulging my love of late 60s UK psychedelic obscurities. The End's lone album, 1969's Introspection, doesn't get the same attention as other classics from the era (aside from curiosity value as a record produced by the Stones' Bill Wyman). But it's a pretty solid listen, particularly its opening number, "Dreamworld." The track squeezes in all the touchstones of the genre--echoing vocals, weird time shifts, organ fugues--and feels like an epic pre-prog suite jammed into four and a half minutes. Shades of the Moody Blues at their more drugged out; it's dopey and dated, sure, but in all the best ways.
