Same here.

Oooh the album cover. Hey TONTO, the Chocolate Watchband called and wants its album cover back!
Electronic music is probably my least enjoyed genre, and so I know very little about its development/influences. Enjoyed the opportunity to play this one as I would almost certainly not found it on my own (I think I even did a sweeping listen of almost one hundred 1971 listens for the last MG (it's such a great year) and never hit this one.
Clearly ahead of its time and obviously influential - well, it did sell very poorly, but what is that old phrase about Tonto's Expanding Head Band, "they only sold 100 albums but everyone who bought an album went out and formed a band"....no, that was the Velvet Underground. But still, it got some critical buzz at the time and Stevie Wonder was a fan, so directly or indirectly, clearly had some influence on the development of electronic music.
Definitely not my thing - let's say I appreciated it more than I enjoyed it. Sounded very much like some later film soundtracks, and although I would doubt John Carpenter knew this album, it kind of reminded me of his film soundtracks. Again, this shows clearly how over the ensuing decade of the 70s, electronica would develop and even be used in mainstream films
For me,
