I have an Incredible String Band album that does side 1/side 4, side 2/side 3. Probably didn’t help people warm to a scientology-inspired concept album involving jugglers and robots.

Not the same level of talent, but I have a kind of fascination with total scumbag John Phillips’s John, the Wolf King of L.A., which is full of melodic, relaxing tunes, but with a vibe of “whoops i might be a complete monster now, this would probably bother me if i wasn’t on so much heroin”
