Forever is a Dream, the one and only album by Food, is a classic. Recorded in Chicago in 1969, it is one of the "Capitol 3," the three groups who released only one album with the world renounced Capitol Records before disappearing into psychedelic obscurity (the others were Gandalf by Gandalf and Common People by the Commone People, all in 1969). Starting with the cover, a great shot of the group, who all appear to be in their mid 20s to early 30s, and a nice far off shot of the band, with the Shakespearean quote, "If music be the food of love, then play on." That right there drove me to the album. When listening, your ears are in for a treat. They are smothered by the astonishingly grand production and orchestration of a rock group who never went anywhere. The first song and the title track of the album is a great introduction for what is next to come. As a matter of fact, it may be too soft and gentle for the ears, for at the end of its 6:57 comes the hard and distorted rocking of "Naive Prayers," which is where the essence of psychedelia comes in. The rest of side 1 is fantastic, with a horn section coming in, making the band sound extremely similar to Blood, Sweat, and Tears. It has glimpses of soft accoustic folk as in "Lady Miss Ann" and spacey experimentation in the song "Fountains of my Mind."
