Description

The Maze -- Armageddon LP

Original 1968 US stereo release on MTA Records (catalog # MTS 5012). Promo copy with "D.J." stamp on back, though labels appear to be normal labels.

Original hyper rare killer prog psych stoned trippy mess-up-your-mind psych... Dark very heavy Doors-ey sound, lotsa fuzz, spooky feel...

from Acid Archives Review: The Maze seek a sense of drama, with long songs, prominent organ, eerie harmonies, heavy lyrics and a singer who becomes unhinged here and there. If you're in the right mood for it, it's pretty enjoyable, especially since there are some crazed fuzz guitar breaks. The overall effect is similar to the album by The Phantom, though the best songs here, especially "I'm So Sad", are more worthy of semi-serious respect than anything on that album. The short songs take a poppier approach, and they're reasonably good.
