Excellent psych/prog rock group from the prime era. The first time I heard “Deception”, I was immediately hooked to this band. To me the groove is somewhere between early Led Zeppelin and Ian Anderson’s Jethro Tull. Not only does lead vocalist Ric Prince absolutely kill the performance, but the lyrics are all too real, and the music is just consistently great. The original vinyl has become increasingly expensive over the last few years, and now people are spending over $100 for this LP, and rightfully so. At least I only had to spend one arm for this record instead of some additional legs. There are two CDs which have appeared, and both are vinyl-sourced. The “Flawed Gems” CD isn’t awful, the other one is. This rip beats them both.
1) Deception – 00:00
