Never Like This from Family Music in a Doll's House (1968)

"Music In A Doll's House" is an underappreciated early prog effort from a band that already isn't mentioned much, Family. Released in mid 1968, this is probably one of the more proggy releases from the pre "In The Court Of The Crimson King" era. It has less of a spacey psychedelic feel, instead going for the British eccentricity, all over the place, hard rock kind of thing. In fact, this thing is so all over the place and dense that it's quite difficult to rap your head around. With Roger Chapman's vibrato vocals, an arsenal of different instruments, and completely unpredictable compositions, it's a lot to take in. I still don't feel like I know what I'm getting into when I turn this on. Also of note, this is a very early production effort by the great Dave Mason of Traffic, who had yet to even begin his own solo career.
