Thousands on a Raft (1970) is a psychedelic and progressive rock album blending blues, jazz-rock, and surrealist poetry. Led by Pete Brown—poet and former lyricist for Cream—the album stands out for its absurd, socially critical lyrics, free-form song structures, and experimental spirit. With tracks like “Aeroplane Head Woman” and the epic “Thousands on a Raft”, the record explores social, technological, and existential themes through satire and improvisation. It’s a cult classic of the British underground—lyrical, strange, and boldly unconventional.
