This is the second album I've heard this year with a "For Jimi" tag. Though for Pythagoras' sophomore effort, it's far more a stretch than on Jukka Tolonen's Hysterica. This isn't a guitar centric album, but definitely belongs to electronic music forms, very prevalent in the day. Given that one member of the duo is a drummer, it definitely is more "electronic rock" in the same manner that Klaus Schulze's Moondawn is. Though one can argue that Pink Floyd is more an influence on the rockier sections. Lots of guests on this platter including Arjen Lucassen on guitar (he of Ayreon fame, who made a decent career of it 15 years later), Plackband (long before they ever saw a release), flute, violin, and a rare appearance of the Novotron. The keyboards are a mix of the latest digital synthesizer technology of the day, with copious amounts of the legacy mellotron. A different sound for the genre, and excellent on the whole.
Ownership: LP: 1982 Syntone. Single sleeve. Was part of the large haul from the Baltimore record store late last year. The photos you see are this copy as we added them to Discogs. Also changed the date to 1982, as the labels are clear about this. The back cover shows 1981, which is probably the source of the incorrect year.
