Listening to Listening

Listening: Stoned Is
From Listening [Vanguard, 1968]
Slowly I've been discovering tracks used on Tripledouble and Diplo's AEIOU mix, most recently a track by a band called Listening from Boston. I believe they only cut one album in '68 featuring nice psychedelic rhythms with blues and jazz influences, and sultry vocals. This is the type of sound I love, and it shines through tremendously on "Stoned Is." It's a trippy, funky, and quite honestly a beatiful track that benefits from strong instrumentation.
Enjoy. More AEIOU bits are surely on the way.
