It's cool that, sixty years after Gord's first release in 1966, we are still considering his works.
I think the reviewer shown above was a bit harsh in his opinion. Contrast that with the reviews posted in Wikipedia:

Gord made it clear this was a sort of raw album, meant to show the process of songwriting.
I do wonder if "Dreamdrift" might have been the granddaddy of "Let It Ride", as their progressions seem similar to me.
