'Yodeling Astrologer' (a.k.a. 'Colour By The Number') could be considered an anomaly, a one-off or a miracle of circumstance in the history of psychedelic pop music. Mij, a.k.a. Jim Holmberg, was discovered by ESP in the summer of 1968. His style and persona mesmerized the label heads, and he explained to them that, due to a car accident, he perceived sound, colour and vision differently, which strongly affected his music. As a result 'Yodeleing Astrologer' is a collection of (rapidly recorded) cosmic folk songs. Much more than a hippie novelty act, this is a truly thoughtful and somewhat frenzied document. Like Buffy St. Marie's 'Meditations', Linda Perhacs' 'Parallelograms' or 'Cold Fact' by Rodriguez, this is an album of sincere folk songs, coloured with subtle psychedelic touches. Here the album is available on vinyl for the first time since it's rare, original 1969 pressing on ESP Disk.
