This album is wonderful, it's one of the best albums I've heard in many, many years. Unfortunately, the band didn't make it big and only managed to release another album in 1989 and then a reunion, and that was it ? as happened with so many other bands.

Yezda Urfa is an American band formed in 1973, whose name comes from the ancient Russian-Ottoman language, without a clear meaning. The band released a self-made, handmade album in 1975, Boris, and The Sacred Baboon in 1976, but it was only published in 1989.

The band its an a strong mix of Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Gentle Giant, and some Yes and Genesis, all mixed together. Without a doubt, Boris is their best album little-known and obviously underappreciated. People who have been able to discover Boris may realize that they are in front of a classic, one of those albums that come out every once in a while.

If you want to listen to great music, take a look here this is one of the great records in prog history.
