Astre - Foresight. 1981 USA-Oklahoma


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.

Ownership: LP: 1981 Akustic 

I sold off the LP years ago to no regret. Still awaiting for more music to appear. No reissues exist as of 6/12/24
