  • Genre: Psychedelic
This release, available on CD for the first time, is the second of World In Sound´s Dragonwyck trilogy. The group from Cleveland was one of the most promising bands from the early 70´s in that area. After their first legendary 1970 heavy-psych album (wis-1023) the keyboardist changed, and the band left their garagy Doors influences to create their own sound. The music on these well produced stereo-recordings exists only on acetate (10 copies), and drifted more into the British vein of progressive rock, like King Crimson, Pink Floyd or Yes, but also reflects US-Westcoast feeling like "It´s a Beautiful Day". By 1972 Dragonwyck was performing Moody Blues´ complete "Days of Future Passed" live on stage, which turned out extremely well, so this is for sure the strongest note you´ll recognize. The 10 original cuts are intense and very unique with strong melodies/vocals, heavy guitar solos and an extreme variety of keyboard and vocal sounds - an awesome mix of heavy underground rock with classical chamber-music style/elements. There are 2 bonustracks from a 45´record which was released in 1974, a bio, authentic press-releases and cool photos. Comes in a digipack-fold cover and includes a 12 p. booklet and was remastered from the original mastertapes - One of the finest unreleased American progressivepsychedelic hippie-art rock-albums - truly a masterpiece in originality, creativity and musicianship!
