The Millennium

The Millennium was an American psychedelic pop band, formed in 1967, and is best known for their 1968 album "Begin." The group was a studio project created by producer and songwriter Curt Boettcher, who brought together a collection of talented musicians including Michael Fennelly, Joey Stec, Doug Rhodes, Ron Edgar, and Lee Mallory. Their music was characterized by lush harmonies, intricate arrangements, and an optimistic vibe that captured the late 60s ethos. Despite their innovative sound and critical acclaim, The Millennium did not achieve significant commercial success during their time. "Begin" is now considered a cult classic and is highly regarded in the sunshine pop genre. The band's intricate production techniques and harmonies have been influential to later artists and are appreciated by collectors and aficionados of the era's music.
