Description
On offer here is the Very rare UK Album by "Mystery Maker" called "Mystery Maker" on `Caves` label - Run out/Matrix side 1 UHC 3A-1 NB/ side 2 UHC 3B-1 NB
Rarity:- Very rare! above standard private pressing - Dreamy Prog gem from 1977.
Music: Superior moody prog-laced British folk outfit often similar to the dreamy ballad style of groups like 11:59 and Cloud. Very peaceful, hushed, somewhat melancholy tone, surreal and motionless at times. Some achingly beautiful melodies aglow with fragile atmospheric male/female harmonies. Plenty of electric guitar with some excellent soloing, even some fuzz on the title track and ‘The Road To Emmaus’ where it crescendos to one of the albums heavier moments. I especially liked the Jerry Garcia-ish lead guitar on the magical ‘Giver Of Life’. Being a private press from England it understandably goes for some fairly big bucks. (Review taken from Internet)
"Started life as Anawim, contributing several tracks to the 1975 Charisma label compilation Beyond An Empty Dream. Two years later they issued this extremely rare private pressing as Mystery Maker. The disc is sometimes compared to Ithaca in dealer lists, ..consisting mainly of haunting and rather eerie electric folk music. The rock elements are more prominent on side two, particularly on the title track, with its heavy electric guitar chords, and on the closer ‘The Road To Emmaus’, which climaxes with a stunning solo." (Review taken from Internet)
