| | Kaleidoscope - Fat Angel Article |
 | | It seems all the more difficult to explain why Kaleidoscope failed to make it at a time when West Coast music was all the rage and names like the Doors, Country Joe and the Fish or the Airplane were dropped in music circles as often as those of the Stones or the Beatles. |
 | | Their first album, Side Trips, was released in May/June 1967 within a couple of months of the finest albums by some many first generation West Coast bands, Surrealistic Pillow, Electric Music for the Mind and Body, Moby Grape, Buffalo Springfield, but it failed to get associated with them. |
 | | But the album has more than its fair share of treats, the tragic ballad “Greenwood Sidee” is in the same vein as “Oh Death,” with its prevailing mood set by the droning fiddle and the percussive march tempo, it builds up perfectly, and Feldthouse’s vocal matches brilliantly. |
