about

The greatest band that nobody heard in the early 70's have returned for their second opus, and it won't disappoint (unless you were looking for banjo versions of Greg Lake tunes). "Criteria Obsession" delivers the thrill-a-minute Hammond organ feature "Wiggy Beets," based VERY LOOSELY on Beethoven piano sonata #1 in Fm. It's like Deep Purple without the annoying vocals! Unless, of course, you like the vocals- then just think of this as the super cool B-mix. A seriously fun romp through the rock landscape.

Included, because we know you want them, are TWO Arp 2600 solo works Zig Zag River and Pope's Cabin- recorded in 1974- that capture that HUGE animal Krakken kind of vibe that only a modular synth and a most excellent 70's spring reverb can do.

And, of course, the 1972 prog masterpiece Criteria Obsession/The Mushroom Song that is finally seeing the light of day here in 2015. If you can't trip on this, you can't trip. OK? Here's you chance to test your trippin' DNA. Each song has a description, too, so find out more by clicking on each song.
