arzachel (orange vinyl)

An excellent album from this British progressive group recorded in 1969 by a band of mysterious pseudonyms. In fact, this was a formation of some of the biggest names in UK progressive rock. Simeon Sasparella, Njerogi Gategaka, etc. were the guises of Steve Hillage (who went on to play in Gong). While the other 3 members Dave Stewart, Clive Brooks and Mont Campbell formed Egg. Originally released on Evolution this heavy spacey keyboard driven album is often compared to Pink Floyd's Saucer Full of Secrets, and quite deservingly so - the track "Garden of Earthly Delights" is an influential classic of early UK progressive psyche. The sound of sustained keyboard and guitar passages are full blown drawn-out psychedelia of the highest order, think Egg, Gong, National Heath, Caravan etc...
