Eric Burdon & The Animals - The Twain Shall Meet (1968)

I'm a huge fan of early Animals records, but what about the later ones? In the mid-to-late sixties they up & moved to California, included Eric Burdon in their name & started making psychedelic rock records. I'm not completly sold on the idea, but it's still got Burdon's signature vocals & you can still hear bits of their earlier blues sound amongst the 7-minute experimental rock breakdowns. This album would probably be great while on a trip. Sky Pilot is a wierd anti-Vietnam War song. My favorites are the bassline heavy Monterey & Closer To The Truth.
