Description
Within is unfortunately the third and final release by this unique sounding Canadian prog band. This is what Peter Thelen had to say about it, writing for Exposé: “As the fruition of eight years of writing and recording, Within probably stands stronger than any of the Terraced Garden albums to that point in time. A more mature compositional approach is evident on almost every track, as well as more attention given to arrangements. The best elements of the first two albums are here, plus a lot more. Like the others, it's a completely honest and unpretentious album, there are no obvious attempts to 'be progressive'; Tafel and co. do what they do naturally, and it just turns out that way. The track "Forty Days" stands as the pinnacle of the Terraced Garden vocal-harmony driven, acoustic guitar-based approach, even surpassing "Passages" (from the first album). "Holding A Torch" and "Patience" offer a somewhat-more electrified approach to a similar style, the former driven by Jacobs' LaFlamme like violin melodics. "Apparatus" and "Moron Children" fill the hard edged slots at the end of each side, the opening section to the latter possibly being the best example of the raw power this band can pack. "Walking Wounded" brings that edgy sound into a song context, with an almost-punk urgency. Overall, Within represents the refinement of all that Terraced Garden had done to date, and is probably the best and most accessible of the three.” Privately released in Canada on Melody & Menace in 1988, the cover is in the shrink wrap. The cover is in M-- and the record is in Ex+++ condition. (For more info on my grading system, click on the “me” icon above.) For the other two LPs by Terraced Garden, see my other listings.
