Theme For The Masses/101 Harrison Street/Back To Philadelphia/The Race/From A Back Door Window/ Postlude: Looking Back
Trilogy For The Masses was the debut album from the Boston psychedelic group Ford Theatre. To unify the album the gothic, classically influenced title track is reprised a couple of times after it opens proceedings.
“Trilogy For The Masses is their first album based on two lengthy pieces of exceptional orchestral work with virtuoso guitar and organ solos. A real masterpiece of prog-rock.”
“Psych influenced progressive flavoured hard rock, featuring extended guitar and keyboard improvisation.”
“A good 60s psych with long and good instrumental, part organ-guitar. Not essential but trippy.”
“Epic, touching, monument of an era, beautiful compositions, outdated voices, a great record for 60s fans. Killer psych album.”
“Super boisterous organ sounds, great heavy guitar strumming and rolling drums full, clear male vocals from their lead singer. The music doesn't overpower the vocals, or the vocals the music, they are in perfect balance.”
“This has to be probably one of the best albums I have ever heard, it has an aura in it, there is something that grips and doesn't let me go. It is far better psychedelia than much of the music being made back then. It has amazing melodies driven by a very strong keyboard and some very relaxing vocals.”
“Ford Theatre were typical of the sound of Boston psychedelic rock circa 1968: dark, foreboding, sombre songs, sometimes quite long, with sub-California acid rock guitar, and more weight on the organ than many bands of the period carried.” “On the whole, not a bad acquisition for the insatiable psychedelic collector looking for something typical of the era, though it's not that distinctive in approach or quality.”
