Am I the only one who thinks the Zombies are underrated? I love pretty much every song they’ve recorded, and Odessey and Oracle is one of my favourite albums.

Offline Odyssey and Oracle is great. I love every song. I don’t think that they are underrated however, as there is a ton of hype surrounding their music. And for good reason.

Really? I’ve never heard any of that. You’re the first person I’ve known to actually know who they are, beyond She’s Not There or Time of the Season.

Offline I saw this video a few months ago. They play Odyssey and Oracle live for the first time and they do a pretty decent job. Specially the singer.
I love their music. She’s not there is a brilliant track, very classy for a pop group in 1964.

Yeah, “She’s Not There” is amazingly advanced for a 1964 pop single, with those jazzy touches.
O&A very much the absolute classic it’s supposed to be, almost like an English Beach Boys at times…and I’m gonna play it RIGHT NOW for my own research purposes – I love it when a thread inspires me to play a record I haven’t listened to in at least 15 years! (Incidentally, wikipedia tells me that the Mellotron used was Lennon’s, left behind at EMI in the summer of 67)

Offline The only album of The Zombies i have Is Oddessey and Oracle and it is an amazing album! (Fun fact, The Zombies used some of the equipment that The Beatles used for Sgt. Pepper )
I’ve always loved “She’s Not There” and “Tell Her No” isn’t a bad track either.

THEY USED THE HOLY Sgt Pepper EQUIPMENT!!! That explains why the album is blessed by fabness, which is now a word.

Offline I only just heard Odessey and Oracle for the first time last night and it is sublime. As mentioned every track is great. As well as the Beatles connection already discussed it was mostly recorded at Abbey Road on the same 4 track recording unit used for Sgt Pepper and engineered by Geoff Emerick.

I agree. Apparently Chris White the bass player wrote seven of the twelve songs and I think he perhaps wrote the best ones including this one.

How did I overlook this album? A Rose For Emily is like Bach+Beach Boys , remarkable singing on it. It had to have been influential at the time.

Offline Odyessey and Oracle to me still sounds like something that could’ve came out recently even though it has just approached it’s 50th Anniversary

Offline “Beechwood Park,” “Hung Up On A Dream,” and “Time Of The Season” have always been my favorites from Odessey. Honorable mentions to “Friends Of Mine” and “Maybe After He’s Gone.”
