Even though this is Catharsis' 4th album, and many online discographies list the album from 1975 - in reality it was recorded at the same time as their first 3 albums (including an EP). Musically it ties closest to their debut Masq. Essentially it's atmospheric rock music with wordless female vocals and a psychedelic backdrop. Not the kind of album to knock your socks off (presuming you would want such an occurrence), but for a pleasant mid evening listening session, it serves its purpose.
Ownership: LP: 1975 Festival. Comes in a fine gatefold. Purchased online some years ago. As mentioned above, the album was originally released in 1972 with the title of simply Catharsis (as were all of their early releases). When the second presses came along a few years later, all of the albums received new titles. The album is a very short 30 minutes, and it's unfortunate the album was never issued on CD with the other remaining titles, similar to the first 3.
