Symphonic Slam
Self-Titled
A&M SP-9023, 1976 original issue (Canada)
** Original 1st pressing black-border cover from home-town Canada (U.S. issues featured a red-bordered frame) **
Obscure Canadian progressive Art Rock trio Symphonic Slam was founded by Finnish-born Timo Laine, drummer John Lowery (who later joined Rainbow), and keyboardist David Stone. The band stands out as arguably the first band to ever incorporate the polyphonic guitar synthesizer (the 360 systems guitar synthesizer prototype pioneered by Laine himself).
Before signing with A&M Records, the trio toured and played gigs with some big names (Rush, The Rolling Stones, etc), ultimately recording and releasing their self-titled debut LP in 1976.
Excellent sound with a very pompous style, based on shifting moods and changing climates as well as Laine's vocal distortions. The style is grandiose Art Rock with symphonic references. You can hear some influences of Styx, Kansas, Wakeman, Emerson, Gentle Giant, a bit of E.L.O., and even some funk.
