CANAMII - Concept(1980 South Africa Crossover Prog)Full Album

Canamii biography Hailing from South Africa, CANAMII was a studio-based project assembled in a manner pretty much inspired by Alan Parson Project, where a few principal members recorded an entire album utilizing outside musicians as needed. The main members in this case were Phil Nel (keyboards) and Claire Whittaker (vocals), and soon after they started working on the project Paul Woodley (guitars) got heavily involved as well. Due to Phil and Claire's full time job as studio engineers they were able to use the recording studios of EMI without cost - the label considered this project as good training - and whenever the studio wasn't booked and the threesome had spare time simultanously they used the opportunity to work on this project. Various musicians were brought in as needed, and in 1980 it was ready to be released. A band name was constructed by assembling selected syllables from the star signs of Phil and Claire - Cancer and Gemini. The album was named Concept and issued in 1980, and turned out to be the sole production of this project. Studio Album, released in 1980 Songs / Tracks Listing 1. Afrock 00:00 2.
