Cosmic Eye - Dream Sequence 1972 UK Psychedelic Rock, Folk
This instrumental album has only one track, spread over two sides. It attempts a metamorphosis and blending of different atmospheres into a "sequence" of musical images. There is some bebop jazz, some Indian music augmented with electric guitar and some which is totally unclassifiable. Although quite pretentious by its very nature the album has its moments, but on the whole suffers from a shortage of good ideas. Some of it could easily pass for New Age music. Rather half-baked.
(Music conceived by Amancio D’silva)With John Mayor (of Indo Jazz Fusions) , Alan Branscombe, Kashev Sathe and others
This record, highly collectable, has been called everything from Trans-Psyche to progressive rock - meets - Indo Jazz (that owing to the line-up perhaps, which includes Indo-Jazz giant John Mayer and at the other end of the spectrum a fairly rock sounding bass and drum section). It kind of plays as a single piece almost, one theme blending into the next. It's ethereal yet striking. Distant chimes meld with tabla breaks and elegant and pure toned guitar.
