A Motown gem, an ambitious work pursuing psychedelic soul.
A work by Motown's leading vocal group, this experimental album incorporates elements of psychedelic soul and funk.
The band's traditional sweet vocal harmonies were joined by Norman Whitfield's experimental sound production, creating a deep soul with a psychedelic mood. The band also introduced long instrumental parts, suggesting influences from funk and rock. "Masterpiece," which reached number 7 on the Billboard Hot 100, is a representative song that showcased their new musical possibilities.
