The debut album from this band from Canada.
The band was a trio with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, mandolin, sitar, cello, banjo and vocals.
This album is a mix of some demo tapes and the band is not happy about this being their debut album. They regard their second album, the 1993 album Splendor Solis as their true debut album.
I got Splendor Solis and five other of their albums, altogether seven of their nine albums, up for review this year.
This band was hailed as Rush heirs to the throne and got some good attention in Canada because of that claim.
This sixty minutes long collection of demos points much more towards Kings'x than Rush. That in addition to a lot of grunge influences. There are also some Indian raga-rock influences here in addition to some blues and some hard prog in the vein of Rush.
The quality is..... not bad. The band knew what they were doing and were pretty talented already on these demos. This is indeed a decent album and there is no shame in having this album in a record collection.
