"Late 60's early 70's NYC power trio with experimental ambitions.
I don't know why this is not better known.
Lots of great guitar playing snaking around very modern sounding songs, not dated sounding. Instrumental guitar remake of Bach's "toccata" is excellent, not a novelty. Sixteen songs nothing longer than 6 minutes, guitar driven with great finese. Psych is the flavor with musical boundary exploring the ambition. Very tasteful musicianship.
Some of it even sounds like a harder edge Vini Reilly/Durutti Column.
A definite must for the adventureous listener, particularly of psych and proto-prog."
