Luna Sea"Luna Sea" 1976 US Private Country Prog,Symphonic Rock.
Rare 1976 private press prog rock record from Nebraska. This one hardly ever turns up and I've been sitting on this copy for over 15 years. Never turned up in quantity, tiny pressing, local Nebraska band that faded away into oblivion. Side one is mainstream midwestern 70s FM rock and side two is exciting 70s prog rock with synths, guitars firing on all cylinders, even the flute makes an appearance. What a strange record!.....
The only record of the American band originally from Nebraska. The album was recorded in Iowa in 1976 and consists of 2 parts. Obviously, musicians quite consciously titled one side of the "light side" and the other "dark side." The first side is a country-rock a la «Eagles», but the other side of her perfect contrast: there are synthesizers, and everything becomes much more interesting. The last track «Rousing The Ghost» - instrumental symphonic prog with beautiful guitar, keyboards and flute. It's hard to say what the band were trying to achieve by writing on one plate material is two completely different musical directions, but, obviously, this is the nature of the American underground. One part of the standard music, and one part of this inspiration. However, mixing different styles were very common for groups of 70. Craig Nance, who was the guitarist on this album, now lives in Harlan (Iowa), which provides music lessons and still performs with various jazz groups. Tells Collin Thompson, drummer and vocalist: "In the late '70s, we went on tour with the band« Fireball », and when they released the album under the name of« Luna Sea «, is so upset us, we decided of initiating their claim." Next, the story makes it clear that the court was lost, musical equipment had to sell to pay court costs, and to dissolve the group. Thus ended the story of «Luna Sea». An interesting detail: the British group «Queen» for his album «Innuendo», released in 1991, used the exact same cover, only the color.......
