Pressed on green vinyl!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArs Nova was something totally different for the musical ears of 1968, and still sounds fresh and exciting today, when you think of the great albums of '68, like Abbey Road, White Light\/White Heat, The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter, The Move, Electric Ladyland, This Was or Wonderwall Music shows how influential the year was and yet, Ars Nova with its wide sphere of influences has nothing in common with the trends of the year. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe only albums that it can be vaguely compared to is either the Velvet Underground or United States of America, both bands that, like Ars Nova, bucked against existing trends and the end of psychedelia, instead preferring to go their own unique way.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is American progressive music, and takes the art of music making into a different genre, an alternative alleyway. The intelligence and musical nous that spans [this album] is really worth diving into and enjoying. It's always great to get to hear albums like this, as it provides a counterpoint to the contemporary of the time and gives a real insight into the underground and alternative scene of that era.\u003cbr\u003eThe beauty of being underground and away from the mainstream is that something that is not of its time ends up being timeless.","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54455104274817,"sku":"2314624","price":28.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/0090771564818.jpg?v=1751686783","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/2314624","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
