In Memoriam: Mike Nesmith

[Bongo Prophet]

1. Thanks for this - I posted late to the other thread. This is more appropriately focused on his music

Circle Sky is one of his many gems. I was drawn to the more experimental stuff even as a kid, it being more Beatlesque-style psychedelic to me.


Daily Nightly was written about the Hollywood 'curfew riots', and included the first use of a Moog Modular on a pop/rock album, which Dolenz had purchased at the Monterey pop festival.

The Door into Summer is another good one that isn't what people may think of when the Monkees' name is mentioned. A little pop song exploring whether a war profiteer makes it into a sort of heaven. You know, teeny-bopper stuff.

He had many more, some cosmic cowboy style, some much stranger.Writing Wrongs is one of the most experimental.
