Odessey and Oracle by The Zombies was pretty similar to Forever Changes. Fantastic listen.

Listen to Scott Walker's first four albums, especially Scott 4 (it's a fucking masterpiece).

i started listening to this guy last week. i second this.

Its not what you want but while you're in that era, please check out White Noise's An Electric Storm. It's essentially the BBC Radiophonic Workshop making late 60s pop in their spare time and it's a fascinating 10/10 album. The 2:15 long track Here Comes The Fleas has more tape edits in it than any entire Beatles album. If you enjoy it a great next step is United States of Anerica's self titled sole release.

Unfortunately The Zombies early material isn't on the same level of O&O. If you're thinking, "hey, I want some decent 60's pop from a group I recognize", then I'd check it out. But there's not much baroque about it, aside from Rod Argent's keyboard skills being quite obvious from the get-go.

Check out Nick Drake's first two albums. They were baroque folk, before he ditched the arrangements and went bare for Pink Moon.

Here's a sample:

Oh damn, just saw that comment. His stuff is super melancholic. He released 3 albums, and then committed suicide.

You might like Bee Gees' early stuff, surprisingly.
