1241 The United States of America - The Garden of Earthly Delights

1241 The United States of America - The Garden of Earthly Delights

In the mood for something different and weird this morning. This one comes from the short-lived Psychedelic/Progressive/Experimental/Electronic Rock band: The United States of America; not to be confused with the popular Folk/Rock band America. The band broke up shortly after the release of their self-titled debut album for apparently a variety of reasons.
When I first found out about the band and album one member's name in particular stuck out: Ed Bogas. For those who do not immediately recognize that name there is a very good chance you have heard his music. He has written the scores and music for many films, television shows, and video games over the years. If you watched the Garfield and/or Peanuts cartoons back in the '80s you definitely have heard his material. I remember back when I was playing video games on my old Commodore 64 I saw his name pop up quite a bit in the credits, especially in the Accolade sports games such as 4th and Inches and Hardball.
