MARIEHENNE, many thanks for offering this awesome session and of course their superb demo too!! Perfect mix of proggy elements and pure NWOBHM, lovers of OMEGA, DAGABAND, GEDDES AXE , CHASAR, even early MARILLION will love this as i do... Never knew about them and all this hit me like a great surprise!! Think these offers can be moved to the NWOBHM part of the forum so that can be tracked down at once by the fans of the genre!! CHEERS YOU LOT!!! porosimetal

Here's some cover art for this one in case anyone needs it:



Thanks again for the upload Micron, they're a very interesting sounding band that i completely missed out on at the time. Ironically, there's a good chance i heard the BBC Session on the radio back then, but would likely have dismissed it then as not being heavy enough for me. Luckily my tastes are far wider now than in my early teens, so i'm far better able to appreciate it now.
Though i guess they were probably named after the UTOPIA song of the same title, they didn't remind me much of them, but at various points MAX WEBSTER, CRACK THE SKY & GOOD RATS seemed like close comparisons. Pretty unusual music & influences but all the better for it.
