Artcane"
"Odyssee"
Original gatefold pressing on French Philips (9101 141) from 1977
The gatefold cover is in VG+ condition.It has some waviness on the front cover and a bit of wear along the top. A small seam split is at the top back cover.There are letters and numbers rubber stamped on the back cover at the lower right. There is a bit of yellowing due to age on the edges of the jacket..looks worse in the scans than in reality. The spine also has some wear along the edge.
The disc is in VG++ condition which in my book is just below mint minus. It has a few superficial hairlines that are visible under a strong light and as the record is tilted. Side two starts out with a little light surface tic here and there that is audible in the soft spots ....but it is gone in about a minute or so into the song.
The music excellent throughout. Ominous and sometimes heavy sounding keys mixed in with nice acoustic/electric guitar on the title cut. The guitar sounds very much like Robert Fripp. The whole lp has a sound very much like King Crimson...only darker. If you have a taste for heavy dark prog with some ripping guitar leads....then this is then record for you.
Considering that this was pressed on a major label, this is pretty scarce.
Thanks for looking
