Description/Reviews
Some say: "The greatest 70′s band you never heard of"
     Back in the early '70s the band were signed to a division of RCA Records, but the label wound up never releasing any of their material, and after the death of one of their members the band soon splintered. However, back in 2009 the band reunited  and now here three years later they've put together Your Mind, completed with the help of producer Ben Fowler and a 26-person orchestra.
     The influences of Yes, Gentle Giant, Vanilla Fudge, Steely Dan, Steppenwolf, Deep Purple, and ELP still remain here, so look for those great vintage sounding keyboards, but the orchestra and lush female vocals in spots adds a nice modern touch.
     Your Mind is just solid and enjoyable throughout, with expert instrumentation, powerful vocals, and most importantly memorable songs.
