RELEASE DATE
10/13/2009
This is the debut release by South African prog/jazz/folk/psych band,
Abstract Truth
. The band existed only for a very short time, but it was a time of super-creativity. They exploded onto the Durban music scene early in 1969, released two studio albums during 1970 on EMI, of which this is the first. Comprised mostly of reworkings of songs by
Donovan
,
Bob Dylan
,
Simon and Garfunkel
, etc., plus one original song, this is excellent early '70s melodic, wistful freak-rock blended with African rhythms in an assorted panoply of instruments: keyboards, flutes, electric guitars, saxophone, percussion, etc. A refreshing approach with an eastern touch. If you like UK bands such as
Quintessence
,
If
and
Bloodwyn Pig
, this album goes in the same direction. It is more trippy/stoned and acoustic than their follow-up from the same year,
Silver Trees
.
Ken E. Henson
on guitar, vocals and sitar;
Robbie Pavid
on percussion;
Brian Gibson
on bass & vocals;
Sean Bergin
on sax & flute.
