Shadoks presents the first of three albums reissued on CD by heavy prog/psych South African band
The Third Eye
. The original pressing came out on Polydor in 1969, and thanks to the cooperation of band members
Dawn Selby
(Hammond organ) and her brother
Ron Selby
(guitar), this project came to life again. The Third Eye started playing in 1968, based in Durban -- a coastal city several hundred miles away from the recording and musical hub of Johannesburg.
Awakening...
came out in 1969 when Dawn Selby was only 14 years old. Just imagine her age when you listen to the blistering organ and piano tracks. Followed by two more albums
Searching
(1969) and
Brother
(1970), The Third Eye produced a veritable volcano of work in a short period of time, even challenging fellow peers
Freedoms Children
for the title of heaviest band in South Africa.
Awakening...
is the most complex of all three of their albums, with great brass arrangements, piano, Hammond organ, fuzz-guitar and soul-infused vocals. Musically headed in the direction of bands such as
Electric Flag
,
The Flock's Dinosaur Swamps
,
Chicago
,
The Nice
, and
Al Cooper
, this is pure electric underground of the best sort. Other members include:
Maurice Saul
(vocals, lead guitar),
Robbie Pavid
(drums), and
Mike Sauer
(six-string bass).
