Phenomena the band-collective? Yes, '80s. Also the title of an '80s Dario Argento film (that starred Jennifer Connelly), with music by Claudio Simonetti, Goblin (as Fabio Pignatelli & Claudio Simonetti), Bill Wyman and Simon Boswell.

Here's something that's worked for me, before: Go to discogs.com. Set your search parameters to the year, style, and format (such as vinyl). Go to town. If you have a fast 'net connection, it may take a few hours, but will be well worth it should your long-lost album show up. If nothing shows, try the same on RateYourMusic.com. Granted, it's all gigo, so if no one's entered the info, it won't be there; but I've found ultra obscure items on both those 'sites, all day long. Best wishes in the search; and I am sure interested to know what this thing is, too! Cheers, Mark

Not to be "that guy," but it's Absolute Elsewhere — and yes, I dig it.

Another suggestion that doesn't quite meet the parameters but, heck, what the heck:
Zyma Thoughts. 1978. Labeled "Canterbury"--which could give it British aspersions--but it's not a one off, and not really an all-star band or various artist concoction, and not really themed around corporate world takeover, and certainly not too obscure, but does have the black album cover with logo and song titles like "Businessman" "Thoughts" etc. Just a long shot (to stay in the game!) |

Hi,
Absolutely Elsewhere -- In Search of Ancient Gods ... which had Bill Bruford in it, and was a super nice album ... but as much as it might have been a "concept" based on that one guy's ideas and book ... one of the early new age goop books, but what the heck. It's best feature was that it had the sounds of "space wind" that NASA had provided at that time, to impress us with their technology of sound in different levels of the spectrum. It still is, for me, a very nice album ... and I kinda thought that a lot of reviews, trying to make this album this or that, or even "sounding like" ... really missed the mark altogether. The album did not get a lot of airplay as far as I know, except on Space Pirate Radio where a few copies were worn down quite a lot. BUT, to this day, reviews of this album, still miss the mark, and can only compare it to something else ... I had to tell a friend of mine to go review ASIA instead and compare it to Genesis, Yes and Elp!

way to go Drew!!!! It does fit his original notion that it might have been english... and a one off concept/corporation them... fits all but his memories of the cover itself. Has the big names that would have meritted an import album into the states during a time when that music wasn't 'cool'.
we shall see? Like David.. I love a good mystery haha.

Anybody mentioned the 1976 album Marscape? Not quite the diabolical corporations theme, but look at the lineup of British musicians:
- Jack Lancaster / Lyricon, saxophone, flutes, watergong - Robin Lumley / piano, harmonium, synthesizers, autoharp, Hammond organ - John Goodsall / guitars - Percy Jones / bass, electronic percussion, watergong - Phil Collins / drums, percussion - Bernie Frost / voices - Simon Jeffes / koto - The Simon Jeffes Sring Quartet The things Phil was able to get up to while Genesis reeled from Peter's departure!

Thanks, Sandy. I suspected you were only dead in a random access sort of way.
