The United States of America
The United States of America were a band from 1967. I had no previous knowledge of them until 1997. Portishead had thanked them for inspiration on their song Half Day Closing. My friend played me their record and I was completely knocked out. It was crazy psych-ish rock incoporating electronic music. Kooky songs like "I Won’t Leave My Wooden-Wife For You, Sugar. Since their break-up, they've influence loads of bands (including Portishead). Here's the full album. Get more info on The United States of America HERE.The American Metaphysical Circus

I can't believe this record bypassed me for so long, i considered myself a bit of a psych head and had never heard of this. This album is a fully fledged master piece with such depth and varity. Thanks so much for introducing me to this wonderful record.
Cheers
WOW! What a mind-melter! Thanks for posting this and I hope more people give it a listen. Along with the first Silver Apples album this was 30 years ahead of its time...
