Description
Mad rare private press LP of guitar-fronted melodic 1975 music with a “rural rock” feel from this obscure four-piece band from Missouri. Skyeros have garnered cult fame among Prog fans — and they also made an album coveted more widely by all collectors of underground American music, regardless of genre. The prog touches have been overstated quite a bit, despite the more than fourteen minute suite on side two. That’s more than fine, though. Plenty of fluid, snaky, chiming guitar lines as well as hot lead riffage, grooving organ, plus other weird keyboards, and a really tight overall sound that makes it an excellent listen. The guitar reminds me at times of Ashbury, which is high praise for those who know that legendary band.
What else is there to say? These guys released this rare private press LP before disappearing into total obscurity. The Skyeros LP has become quite expensive over the years (it goes for upwards of $500 these days), in part due to being mentioned in collector books like Acid Archives, the Pokora guides, etc. It has a great trippy cover… that always helps! Recorded at Golden Voice Studios, where Farm, the Finchley Boys, Contents Are, Butter, Pentwater, among many others, laid down their recordings.
350 COPIES w/lyric insert.
