Fantasy ~ USA ~ Miami, Florida


Fantasy (1970)

Miami, Florida based Fantasy are the sole representative from America on my Post psychedelic, proto progressive with female vocals list (OK, I've added more since). The odd thing is the premise for the list is based on American psychedelic music, but was generally carried forward into the 70s by Europe. While the usual suspects like Jefferson Airplane and Janis Joplin are rounded up for comparison here, this album is far more progressive than that might imply. Given the early date, the music ties closest to Julian's Treatment on Time Before This - as well as the Deram album by the UK group Room. Blues, jazz, and psychedelic rock with organ, guitar, and passionate female vocals are blended together for a fine timepiece. A good one.

Ownership: 1970 Liberty (LP). Gatefold. Everything is backwards per design.

    Their song "Circus of Invisible Men" is a masterpiece of the genre.
