Creation of Sunlight - Creation of Sunlight (us 1968) Psychedelic Rock, Pop Rock A very rare Southern California pop/psych album with dual organ, fuzz and sunshine vibessimilar to Strawberry Alarm Clock. The band were previously known as Sunlights Seven andrecorded an unreleased, acetate-only album in Hollywood: Sunstroke, circa 1967. Theirrepertoire largely comprised of early versions of songs re-recorded for the Creation OfSunlight album.(Vernon Joynson/Stephane Rebeschini/Clark Faville)-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Creation of Sunlight's sole album is a second- or third-division piece of late-'60s southernCalifornia psychedelia, although it's not unenjoyable in places. Certainly it will recall theStrawberry Alarm Clock to many seasoned psychedelic listeners, as this too has a combination ofthick organ and fuzz guitar, as well as material and vocal harmonies that are a rather lightershade than the arrangements. It really helps that the lead singing is breezier and a bit higherthan that of many similar groups. The background harmonies have a fullness that smacks not justof the Strawberry Alarm Clock, but of a few other bands of their time and place, like ClearLight and (at its poppiest) the Association; the material can also bring to mind some aspectsof the West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band. And then there's that part of "Second Thoughts"where it veers off from a fairly sunny harmony number and suddenly sounds like the organplayer's trying to imitate Ray Manzarek...so no, it's not the most individual of albums,even among obscure cult psychedelic ones. But even in the absence of truly fine songs, it'sconsiderably better than the normal such derivative record of its time and place, with alikable trippy-if-safe optimism that's too heavy to be sunshine pop, though too lightweightto qualify as serious underground boldness.[Allmusic.com]Formed: CA, United StatesMembers:Gary Young (lead vocals),Jerry Griffin (keyboards, vocals),Carl Estrella (lead guitar),Don Sain (rhythm guitar),Steve Montague (bass),Bob Morgan (drums),Ron Clark (flute, bari sax, percussion)Tracks:01 - David02 - Hammonds Eggs03 - In The Middle Of Happy04 - Light Without Heat05 - Rush Hour Blues06 - Second Thoughts07 - Seven Times Infinity08 - Sometimes A Woman09 - Colors Of Love10 - The Fun Machine11 - David (Single Version)12 - Judy In Disguise (Single)
