Chimera - Chimera CD

26-WHCD 013
This never-released folk/rock/psych album really is good and it really is sort of astonishing that not a note of it was never released until now, especially considering the names involved (Bob Weston, later of Fleetwood Mac and small guest appearances by Rick Wright and Nick Mason (of Pink Floyd). File under: baffling!
"Previously unreleased and much raved about mystical UK female progressive folk rock album from 1969 that's in a similar vein to Fuschia with flashes of Fairport and The Trees. A legendary lost masterpiece of late 60s UK acid folk rock/baroque psychedelia, featuring future Fleetwood Mac guitarist Bob Weston - it was partly produced by Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason, who, along with Rick Wright, makes a cameo appearance. First issued a couple of years ago by the vinyl-only Tenth Planet label, this first-ever CD release adds an extra eight previously unheard pre-album demos (including titles like Elegy To A Dead King and Mr Binns Takes A Trip ) to the album to come up with the definitive Chimera anthology. Twelve page booklet with plenty of photos and the full story behind the band s astonishing adventures in Swinging London."
“Really creepy, bad-trip psychedelic rock, in the best possible manner. Heavy stuff, with lots of killer guitar playing and fantastic rippling drums. Vocals are operatic and mournful; almost all the songs are minor key. Highly recommended.”-rateyourmusic
