LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

Its not easy to select the "best" songs by a band like Oregon, authors of one of the most refined and fascinating musical mixtures ever produced, and who play everything that is possible to play with acoustic instruments. Inspired by the indian maestro Ravi Shankar, their music is rich in texture and their considerable technical ability can be heard in their evocative group improv numbers. The title of the band's album Music Of Another Present Era is an appropriate description of their music - music from a reality that is parallel to ours, only better. This 16 track CD is a collection of their Vanguard work and includes collaborations with Larry Coryell, Vasant Rai, Elvin Jones, Jerry Goodman, and tracks from the unbelievably rare Our First Record . Includes exclusive photosand extensive liner notes.
