In essence, Island could be seen as some sort of Swiss supergroup, though really they were the evolution from a number of bands, originating from Deaf, whilst also interconnected with Toad and Circus, as well as other lesser-knowns. So many origins and influences resulted in Island creating a refind and complex style. On their sole album, which was aptly as gloomy and as strange as H.R. Giger's visionary cover art, Island's music oozed invention. Often quoted as the Swiss Van Der Graaf Generator, Island has asimilar feel, with a very odd instrumentation for a rock band and a vocalist who sounds like a hybrid of Peter Hammill ( with a German accent ) with a few Peter Gabriel touches. Island had all sorts of unique elements at play, full of gloom and sinister lyrics. This album has justly been acclaimed as one of the masterpieces of Swiss rock !!!
Not to be missed in any serious progressive rock collection !!! Extreme hard to find album nowadays !!!
