Westfauster - In A King's Dream - Nsaco 9008. Record NM / Sleeve VG (top seam cut but expertly repaired, small handwriting "af" on front and back cover). Released in 1971 on the Nasco Label (Felt, Whalefeathers, Electric Toilet), this Cincinatti one off is a highly sought after rarity and one of the better american prog records out there. Allow me to quote... "Complex structures and psychedelic enhancements flow in and out of 'In A King's Dream' and the lead and background vocals blend beautifully throughout, while the flautist flutters over the well rehersed self compositions and well defined passages that truly work giving the album a very light and airy feel. 'Where Are You', 'Blind Man' and the title track ("In A Kings Dream") are brilliant with top levels heading out to the wonderful magical mystery carpet rides of 'Sunny Day' and 'Low Sun' which are ever so Beatle-ish and nothing short of fantastic! WESTFAUSTER may sound like the quintessential English progressive rock band but, in fact, Westfauster hailed from the rust belt, Cincinnati to be precise. A guitar-free, keyboard/flute led trio, the band did encompass a variety of keyboards from harpsichord to Moog synthesizer, and the flute work is exceptional within their multi-instrumental ranks. Blissful jazzy edges ripples through the epic "Everyday," one of a clutch of flute-led numbers on the set. On that song, it's twinned with piano and organ; on "Blind Man's Epitaph" the flute flutters and flies amidst the harpsichord and choral vocals; and the harpsichord itself is showcased again on the Beatles-esque "Low Sun." In contrast, the title track, the album's other epic number, is resplendent with smoky reeds, the darker, more majestic flip of the breezier, lighter "Everyday." All three bandmembers obviously had some musical training, and it's their ability to fold elements of that style gently into the musical mix that perhaps truly sets Westfauster apart, notably on the two epics, "Where Are You" and the album closer "Did It or Didn't It (Take Us High)." That and the delicate textures of their songs and the wonderfully shimmering and dreamy quality of their atmospheres. With its subtle shifts in mood and style, luminescent sound, and lovely, reverberated harmonies, King's Dream reaches transcendental heights. Unlike their more extravagant contemporaries, Westfauster never flamboyantly highlight the musical journey or magnificent musicianship, preferring a more elegant, understated stance that allows this album to glow in all its glory." Do not miss this one!
