Jefferson Airplane - rejoyce

Yesterday was Bloomsday. I meant to post this but forgot.

"rejoyce" comes from a psychedelic's band most psychedelic period, when being a rock band didn't mean you couldn't release a song based on a high-modernist novel and which featured piano as primary instrument, a harpsichord, a flute solo, a powerful electric bass line (courtesy Jack Casady), multitracked vocals by one singer, and a dissonant chord at the finish. In short, the kind of thing that would drive away Black Sabbath fans (although maybe not the members of Black Sabbath themselves, who liked weirdness).
