======================================

One enthusiastic reviewer had this to say: 

"Ebondàzzar is a rare album from Australian duo, Peak (Robert Reekes-Parsons and Paul Fisher) with able assistance on drums by John Haffert. It is a purely instrumental affair with vocals limited to vocoder output, effects and grunting.

Ebondàzzar has been issued twice on vinyl. The original Australian release was privately pressed in 1980 on their own Cement Records, followed by a re-issue in 1983 by Innovative Communications from Germany. Despite two different releases the work appears to be relatively unknown.

Ebondàzzar has nine tracks with the longest, "Along For The Ride" clocking in at a little over the nine minute mark. Having said that, all the tracks from Side One segue seamlessly making a suite of sorts with a running time of 23:02, though each track is quite different and there is no real hint of a concept. (All tracks on side two are clearly segregated.)

Ebondàzzar is an album of varied soundscapes, journeying mostly into the territories of electronica, space rock and Krautrock. At one point there is a step towards synthesized heavy prog as "The Hunt" goes into full flight in its last half. And to cap things off there is even a hint of blues rock with the final track, "Agent's Lunch". With the variation presented on Ebondàzzar it is a difficult album to pigeonhole.

Highlights are: the hypnotic "Along For The Ride" opening with nice guitar and synthesiser interplay that moves into Kraftwerk-style electronica; "Encounter" with guitar synth pyrotechnics conjuring visions of King Crimson, before turning a corner into the symphonic realm; "Nightmist" with vocoder voices and its soaring sequencer melody so readily reminiscent of Tangerine Dream; and the dreamlike "Ocean Of Dreams" that opens with the peal of tubular bells before the synthesisers takeover, and then with the synths being overlaid with military-style snare drumming and tubular bells for much of the journey.

I like this album, but have a bias towards works from Australia. That said, I don't believe fans of electronic music or space rock wherever they be from, would be disappointed if they were to stumble upon Ebondàzzar in their travels."

=========================================================

CONDITION:   

OK…I use the following gradings (in descending order, from pristine down): MINT, M-, EX (EX = most people's NM), EX-, VG++, VG+, VG, VG-, G+, G 

Cover:  EX- ...just some very basic age wear only...still in VERY nice condition...see pix...

Vinyl:  M- ...if I was marking out of 10, with 10 as perfectly MINT, this would get a 9.5...it is THAT close to utterly pristine...

Labels - Side 1:  MINT  ......  Side 2:   MINT  ......

If you have any concerns about the accuracy of my gradings, please check my feedback for the odd nice comment from some satisfied folk out there.... (and hopefully you may be able to join their ranks).
