And yet another CDRWL item I picked up recently. My original notes stated (edited for relevancy):
Of all the bands operating in the 80's Music/prog rock space, Chicago's Eardance are the most overtly 1980's King Crimson influenced. Right down to the Chapman Stick while the vocalist sounds exactly like Belew (or tries to). The primary difference between Eardance and KC is that our featured band today is definitely more jazz influenced, which adds a neat twist to a recognizable sound.

This represents last night's listen as well. You just can't escape the Discipline vibes here. I almost get the impression they didn't really have a prog background until they heard the latest incarnation of Crimson. Another album where my rating remains unchanged but it's unique enough to keep.
Ownership: LP: 1982 Touch. Recent online acquisition from a store in Chicago for dirt cheap (2023). For whatever reason, supply has remained steady for this album, especially in its hometown.
No reissues exist as of 11/28/24.
4/4/11 (first listen / review); 3/22/23 (new entry)
