I'd said in an earlier post that I had less of an idea about the musical identity of the 70s than I did of, say the 60s, 80s or 90s. I guess though that this style is something I would associate with the 70s - the prog thing. Extended musical passages, increased presence of keyboards, big vocal harmonies, mix of musical styles and time signatures.
According to the book, the band got rid of their guitarist, enlisted another and knuckled down to work on their new sound; moving from psychedelic rock to prog. Apparently they worked for so long that they missed the deadline for the album release and were nearly broke by the time they unveiled their new sound.
...dedication
