about

Apocalypse music, after 46 years in a dusty old storage bin, FINALLY sees the light of day thanks to Steve Krakow (Music Writer/Historian aka Plastic Crimewave), Sara Gossett (Dreamscapes and Nostalgia Artist) and the expert Folk/Prog Rock curating team at Guerssen and Out-Sider Records.

The fresh, new vinyl release (mastered for LP directly from the original demo master recording by Javier Roldon at Vacuum Mastering) means you'll be right there in the studio with us as we played through our set list (no overdubs!) on that day in September, 1976. Our goal for going into the studio was to simply produce a demo of our live show with the intent on sending it out to try and book concert dates on the college circuit, which was the most important thing for a band to do back then.

PRESS REVIEWS:

“The songs have it all, clever compositions with interesting arrangements, a superb sense of melody, with odd time signatures and rhythms mixed in, suites with numerous sections, superb harmonies throughout. The execution is brilliant and flawless.” - Expose.org

“Demo it may be but the recordings’ quality is quite brilliant as befits a concept album where the siblings’ progressive leanings meet folk sensibilities on a stunning array of mini-epics whose motifs flow into each other logically and melodically...” - DMME.net

While the musicianship is very much of the highest order, it is the songs that really makes this. That is has been made available on vinyl is incredibly fitting as this is an album very much of its time...an incredibly enjoyable album which certainly would have done well if it had seen the light of day and been given the right promotion back in the day. Any fan of "traditional" prog would do very well indeed to seek this out. - ProgArchives.com
