Finally gave this album an attentive listen, and I think I understand Jack Pat`s enthusiasm.
There are four short tracks that, for me, are just doodling, filler junk that should never have made it to the album, but that still leaves eight tracks, much stronger and much longer, that would justify the purchase price. These tracks are mysterious, but easy on the ear and set me imagining: suppose that after masterminding Tomorrow Never Knows John Lennon had told the Beatles, "OK, that`s how our next album is going to sound" - well, that album might`ve ended up like Dark Country Magic , which therefore gets an "excellent" from me.
