Kristyl LP was released in private pressings of only 200 in 1975.
His album is homemade guitar psychedelia from Kentucky. A nice mixture of gentle dreamy passages, heavier acid guitar
and wah-wah fuzz along with charmingly teenage vocals. Highly regarded melodic guitar-rock with an open late-1960s westcoast vibe, dual guitars and great organic playing/vocals all around. They have a very distinct sound which makes the tracks seem similar at first, but it opens up after some plays and remains that way. The best tracks such as "Deceptions of the mind" and "Valley of life" are truly monumental. Personal fave, one of the big ones in the style. Originals were pressed on very thin vinyl, so most copies have slight bowl warps.The consensus seems to be that this is a 1975 recording, but dealers always (accurately) describe it as sounding much earlier.The music is consistently wonderful, side 1 in particular, with side 2 ending with the beautiful ‘Morning Glory’. A beautiful, naïve feeling pervades the whole LP, like they believed anything could happen, the world could change as a result of their sounds. The sleeve art is also top-ten, being a monochrome crudely drawn snake encircling the earth....
