The Kaplan Brothers

Incredibly bizarre album. I personally can't stand it, but it's undeniably strange.

The Kaplan Brothers were a cheesy Chicago area lounge act. For some reason they freaked out in the early '70s and wrote this WAY over the top "meaning of life" concept album with progressive/psychedelic rock arrangements. The deluded vocals are hilarious and it's musically potent, just not at all my kinda sound.

Imagine King Crimson playing a melodramatic but dead-sincere set at the local Howard Johnson's and that'll put you in the ballpark.
