180g LP 250pcs limited repressing.Originally a quartet (with drummer Dave Mattacks - future
Fairport Convention - as external support), the group debuted
with this splendid album in 1971, featuring the crystalline voice of
Barbara Gaskin; the imaginative and innovative keyboards and violin
of Julian Cusack; and the intriguing melodies of singer / guitarist
Martin Cockerham. The sound proposed by Spirogyra has its roots in
folk rock but also embraces the progressive and psych rock of the so-called "Canterbury Sound". The
group became quickly well known for their creative mix of prog, Dylasnesque folk and jazz rock. In
1974, after having published 3 albums the band dissolved and Barbara Gaskin continued with
Hatfield & The North and National Health.
