Future Games (Spirit Album)
Future Games, subtitled "A Magical Kahauna Dream", was the fourth album that Spirit released for Mercury Records. However, it is practically a Randy California solo album in all but name, as he played most of the instruments and did most of the writing throughout the album. Coming off as a slightly warped science fiction version of Spirit of '76, it is an album that greatly divides fans. Many find it boring and monotonous (and decry the poor sound quality, which is greatly improved by listening on headphones in binaural stereo), while others appreciate the humour and character that the album embodies. If nothing else, it certainly stands alone in Spirit's oeuvre.
It has been released several times on CD.

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or games:
“The primary function of myth is to validate an existing social order. Myth enshrines conservative social values, raising tradition on a pedestal. It expresses and confirms, rather than explains or questions, the sources of cultural attitudes and values.... Because myth anchors the present in the past it is a sociological charter for a future society which is an exact replica of the present one.”
—Ann Oakley (b. 1944)
“Whatever games are played with us, we must play no games with ourselves, but deal in our privacy with the last honesty and truth.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
