Peel, Palmer, Tausig & Gould - Synesthesia

 Fruits de Mer Records (winkle 63)

 

This is a cool prog rock album collaboration by Fruits de Mer stalwarts Icarus Peel, Steve Palmer, Jay Tausig and Rob Gould. There are four, long instrumental pieces that feel like they were recorded in the early 70s! Even the titles are pretty convincing: "Coral Correlation", "Superpurplesunshine", "The Ochre Cobra", "The Turguoise Shards of Atlantis"... If you love the early 69-73 prog/Centerbury music originally released on Vertigo, Harvest etc. and want to know how the same vibe is achieved today this is a must-have for you. Great playing by all the masters who really know what they are doing here. LP on splatter vinyl out in mid March, get your copy from your favorite FdM dealer, I know I will.
