Self titled sole album release from the San Francisco psychedelic rock group Kak. It comprises some mellow ballads together with a few more hard rocking numbers.

“This is one of the pioneer albums wandering into the psychedelic music of the period. It is a bit folksy at times, but that was the Dylan influence in the late 60s. The song Trieulogy makes the whole album worth buying; however, there are some equally good songs scattered on the disc.”

“This is a very enjoyable LP. Its style is from psychedelic rock to acoustic folk. If you like the San Francisco sound of the 60s/70s, this will fit into your collection. The first song is forgettable, but the rest are rich and diverse.”

“Psychedelic and progressive rock, with good grooves, great melodies as well as some nice guitar licks as well. Very pleasant and easy listening, but at the same time creative and nice. Good musicianship here, with a sound that feels they were doing things a bit before others (being a bit ahead of their times). A few singer/songwriter inspired songs as well.”

“I kept hearing this is some sort of classic, but it sounds mostly dead ordinary to me. Electric Sailor is a pretty decent track but that's about it.”

“It can take sometime to really hear all the wonderful nuances to be found hidden in the grooves of this masterpiece. It doesn't always come easy, but once you've discovered the magic, you might even find yourself humming Lemonade Kid without even realizing it.”

“It's pretty good, but not the masterpiece that some claim. There's nothing really wrong overall, and the musicianship is excellent, but it's rather boring in places.” “A mixture of hard rockers, mellow ballads and lysergic psychedelia all in one album, but really, every song here is great, and some are classics. This is really beautiful stuff, though some might be put off who just want pure psych rock and can't handle a little heartfelt emotion.”
