Sometimes we just want to step outside of ourselves, and leave life’s ills, bills and everything in between…behind! This is one of those tracks that helps you to escape, even if only for a brief moment. Enjoy…

SONG OF INNOCENCE
Review / Composer David Axelrod doesn’t disappoint with his debut release, 1968′s Song of Innocence. Axelrod’s albums generally tend to be one long theme, broken down into segments. This particular album is heavy on drum breaks, strings and bass guitar, and it carries on as such all the way through. The sound is funky, dirty, but with a little rock influence sprinkled in from time to time. This record is ahead of its time, I’m still amazed that it was recorded in 1968. Definitely one of my top Axelrod LP’s.
Design / The kaleidoscope is always an interesting solution for a cover design, the result will definitely be visually appealing. I really like the symmetry that it creates, horizontally, vertically, and diagonally. Having the art in these bright colors, within a circle, on black really help the image to pop…which in turn makes this a stronger piece of art. Two thumbs up, this is one of my favorite covers.
