Description/Reviews: Beginning in the early 1970’s and continuing until 1980, this relatively unknown band from Houston managed to record a stunning collection of songs that are the musical expression of the word Chameleon. The original recordings from 1972-1979 have been remixed/remastered, transferred to CD and produced by ShroomAngel Records as pure 70's era music. Twisting and turning, changing colors, leaping out of your speakers at times with unbridled ferocity- this band will hold your attention throughout the 70+ minutes contained on this disc. The listener may hear elements of early Genesis, a bit of Camel or Yes, and maybe even some Eloy or Nektar.
 
 
 
Not sure where they might fit though, so I've left that part of the topic title blank.  Embarrassed
 
Edit: The band has not played together in more than 30 years, but is currently working on a new album for ShroomAngel Records.  Cool

Thanks Dave, excellent find indeed, only that this time another Dave (Avatachron) has beaten you to the suggestion - in the collabs area. But yours is a more complete suggestion EmbarrassedBig smile

Under discussion in the Eclectic team. Thanks, I was looking for the Spotify link!!!

I bought the album about two weeks ago from cdbaby, the poor booklet is sort of dissapointing, but the music is great indeed, typical prog of the 70's, definitely worth some luck in the database here.
