Darts (1974)

Gamma's sophomore effort Darts is a welcome departure from their debut. Gone are the iffy vocals and its place is an excellent blend of sensual soft fusion mixed with occasional loud guitar and organ leads. I really like the mood of this album, and the grooves are superb. Generally mislabeled as a prog rock album, Darts belongs more to the jazz rock school. Not flashy in the slightest, but focus is on melody and rhythm, where it should be. Speaking of Focus, 'Your Face' sounds lifted straight from the Moving Waves sessions. Great album, almost every track a winner!

No reissues as of 3/27/25.
