Light Year — Reveal The Fantastic 1974 (USA, Jazz, Fusion, Progressive Rock)

The San Francisco, California band's only LP, recorded in 1974 at the renowned Wally Heider Studios and released only in 2010 by Green Tree Records, 36 years after its recording! Enjoy!

Hailing from San Fransisco this little known troupe of musicians rose and fell without ever having an actually album released. They did have a handful of studio and live-in-the-studio recordings though which make up this discography CD. The music definitely comes from the Zappa school of zanny and complex Jazz/Prog/Rock music. Especially with the permanent vibraphone player which will no doubt bring to mind some of the best Zappa years with Ruth Underwood. They are also fronted by a great jazzy singer in Sharon Pucci which brings frontline personality to an already dazzling group of musicians. One of the things I like most about this album is there isn't a sleeper track to be found throughout these 7 songs. Its all kept to a pretty quick pace with a high level of technicality. Shit gives you a brain workout thats for damn sure! The grand finale is a 20 minute closer which starts off as a slow burn space rock jam, and slowly builds and breaks midway through into the more propulsive style of vibraphone hammering and vocal thrashing that normally dominates their signature sound, truly an epic piece!TheTrueMithrandir Jun 28 2015
