“The Zombies' 1968 classic is generally categorized as a psych-pop treasure, but despite what its cover art and legacy suggest, its complex arrangements and baroque instrumentation-- much like The Kinks' Village Green Preservation Society-- were idealized harbingers of today's indie pop. Decades ahead of its time, Odessey and Oracle is the final statement from an unfortunately short-lived band, and stands as one of the late 60s' greatest achievements.”
