Arguably one the first Prog/rock albums from the USA. Touch released thier s/t work in 1968, a whole year before In the Court of the Crimson King. Immersed in classical and jazzy leanings and dipped in psychedelia, this album would be a foundation for symphonic prog/rock. The band led by keyboardist Dan Galluchi, the band couldn't reproduce the sound on stage and thus didn't tour. A no-no for record labels at that time and the band faded into oblivion.
You said obscure so I'm sticking to that... haha
My taste in prog really does run pretty obscure sometimes
so bare with me, here's some from our Nordic cousins.
Really awesome stuff too.
They released two albums, 1974- På Sterke Vinger, and 1976- Hardt Mot Hardt before
parting ways ( may they swing their mighty Frost Hammer's in Valhalla ).
They've also had one of those Live & Rare releases floating around on the internet recently. I love this band .
Cheers for the STARCASTLE track Thumper....excellent choice
Sox....another brill choice I have that old KHAN album on a cassette somewhere....they only made one album...it featured none other than STEVE HILLAGE and Pip Pyle from GONG...that record must be mega rare nowadays.
.Ive neglected prog and there were some great bands.Good to see Iggy has started a GRYPHON thread....but what about another band sadly neglected here on CRF........lets here it for LONE STAR !!!
^^They are definitely different from the new country band using the same name LOU.
Much better as well.
I am always amazed at how many bands you Sox and Sweaty know that I never heard of before. I have acquired quite a few "Belters" from all the threads you lot have written in here.
