Description
Polyphony’s Without Introduction is renowned for being a highly-collectable and listenable album of psych/prog jams reminiscent of some of the British or Italian psych monsters from the early ‘70s. Released in 1971 on the Eleventh Hours label (Eleventh Hour1003), this hard progressive rock outfit from Virginia features some stunning guitar and keyboard work, as well as a percussionist at home on congas, timbales and just about everything hittable. The band is definitely influenced by early UK exponents of prog including Keith Emerson, Steve Howe and Peter Gabriel. The stunning original artwork lends itself perfectly to the album’s inspired music. As one reviewer noted, Without Introduction is a “jaw-dropping album from one of the US’s earliest progressive rock bands...it is safe to say that dumping an innovative product such as this on an unsuspecting audience, even back in 1972, baffled most listeners, [hence] the disappearing act which has relegated this gem to the obscurities hall of fame. Their music is dominated by heavy Hammond and an active core of drum play and congo-bashing [sic]; add to this mix a penchant for surrealistic lyrics and off-centre vocals and you get the picture. Is it progressive or psychedelic? The answer is yes. Extremely so!”. Highly recommended Track Listing 1. Juggernaut 2. 40 Second Thing In 39 Seconds 3. Ariels Flight: - Gorgons Of The Glade- The One Irocritic Man- The Frog Prince 4. Crimson Dagger
