For
producer-wunderkind Gary Usher, Sagittarius was the outcome of
months holed up in the studio with like-minded friends: Curt Boettcher,
Bruce Johnston, Glen Campbell, the Firesign Theatre and others.

Present Tense — shimmering, dense, and relentlessly melodic
— quite simply relocated the goals of contemporary pop songwriting
and arranging. Mastered in the best Sundazed tradition, Present
Tense chronicles the epitome of California sunshine rock and the
Summer Of Love — it's the sound of the Mamas and Papas,
the Beach Boys and Claude Debussy having an
Easter egg hunt on Phil Spector's lawn. |
