With song such as Hair Pie: Bake 1, Pachuco Cadaver, Neon Meate Dream Of A Octafish & Old Fart At Play, this is anything but mainstream, especially in 1969. On first listen it would seem that the band is just playing randomly and ranting with no planning, but after a few (perhaps quite a few) listens, a musical image emerges and the listener "gets it". The band actually practised the songs for months, long hours each day to finally be able to play the songs perfectly. This influential album is highly acclaimed and is listed at #58 on the Rolling Stone's list of top 500 albums of all time. One song would not give you any kind of understanding of this album so following in order are: China Pig, Well, Sugar 'n Spikes & Hobo Chang Ba.
This music is not for everyone I realise, but...worth a listen.
