Description
New Vibrations, sub-titled A Quest in Folk Rock, is a musical written and conceived by the Canadian composer Tedd Smith, released on Light Records in 1971. Featuring Ralph Carmichael & The Young People with soloists John Bahler and Kim Carmichael. Conducted by Ralph Carmichael and Tedd Smith.
This one’s not too shabby, though I must say it pales next to Smash & Grab World. The main difference is in the vocals which are provided here by Ralph Carmichael’s Young People, with John Bahler and Kim Carmichael as soloists. Described as a “quest in folk rock”, New Vibrations has some pleasant artful pop and quasi-rock, often infused with a groovy now-sound jet-set mentality that keep things on the level. A couple easy listening low points, but they also cut loose on the last track with a soulful rocker. Much more interesting than other Young People projects. [Ken Scott, The Archivist, 4th edition]
