Foresight (1981)
Astre were a band from Tulsa, Oklahoma who released only this sole before disappearing. Multi-instrumentalist Bill Tankersley is the only one to have recorded beyond Foresight, putting out two true solo cassettes in 1984 (one under the name New Warmth). There's also a band named New Fire Ceremony credited to him, who released one industrial (?) album in 1993.
Foresight is an horrendously under-produced album. However, behind the mess, is a superb complex progressive rock album. One hopes for better tapes to emerge, and a fresh CD reissue to take the grime off of this gem. It's difficult to appreciate as it is, unfortunately.
