Your vote only counts if you say something about the album. It doesn't need to be a paragraph, just a couple sentences about the album.

Also, I'll ask mods to delete Votes this time. Just a couple of sentences. That's all.

Judging ONLY the original 10 tracks. This album IS assailable. Don’t buy into the corny Harry Partch silliness. It has nothing to do with not aging well. Using experimentation to be goofy shows a lack of appreciation for what they were working with. Still a lot of positives 8/10. Hopefully, this is NOT voted a classic.

Then you shouldn't have voted it an eight, silly.

I gave it a ten. I do think it's a classic. It was very innovative in its time. Electronica in some ways hasn't aged well, but this album is timeless. And the Garden of Earthly Delights is one of the trippiest songs out there.

The right electro-acoustic music considerably older than this has aged very well.
Luc Ferrari is one of several who didn’t make a carnival act of himself.

It deserves an 8 for the contribution it made. It’s just not unassailable. Classics are ten.

Yeah, but Blank considers an eight a classic.

I can see how Wooden Wife is pretty goofy, but that doesn't really extend through the whole album.

This ain’t gonna make it.

Shouldn’t happen at all.

I guess we'll have to see, but I'm pretty certain this is going to end up on the list despite not being exclusively electroacoustic music.

I gave it a 10. It's one of the best psych rock records ever made and the way pulls together the pop of the time with the European avant-garde is as good as efforts by artists like Beefheart and 50 Foot Hose. On a sonic level alone I would give this a ten, but as a historical landmark in the democratization of music? An unbudging 11. Don't let these separatists get to you.

Is this your pick?

Yep.
