F.O.B's 1968 hit single "The Smell Of Incense"
(plucked from the set list of the West Coast Pop Art
Experimental Band) is like your first glance of the
Emerald City of OZ; shimmering through the haze of a
summer morning, it's a perfect moment forever frozen
in time. These Dallas hotshots, featuring the angelic
vocals of Dan Seals and John Colley (who would later
commandeer the charts as England Dan & John Ford
Coley) fused their heavenly harmonies with mindbending
Farfisa-organ stylings and fuzz-drenched guitar work.
In short, they had everything that was wonderful about
mid-'60s rock & roll. |
