I have mentioned this record before, but you should hear it in its entirety, Stij. It's really unique.
For the uninitiated, it is a hippie satire of both The Wizard Of Oz and Orange County (under the impenetrably clever sobriquet "Lemon County") political conservatism told entirely on Moog synthesizers.
I don't really have to say any more than that. But the music was written by unsung Moog pioneer Mort Garson. It is at times both atonally experimental and hauntingly beautiful. You're just not going to hear anything comparable.
I found an interesting review of it.
